Test Your Proverbs Now!!!!

I would like to share one part of my proverb module.This part is the test part where I require my students to do once I complete the module. It takes 3 weeks for me to complete all the aspects in my module as I have to integrate the proverbs with the theme and topic that was being taught. I do the test after I have complete teaching the module.click here to download the Proverbs test.

Debate Materials

During the inter - school  and inter - division competion, I was saddened when I noticed that many teachers and students do not know the structure of debate and how a debate is judged. Many teachers asked for my help to improve their team. So I have decided to upload some materials related to judging a Parliamentary Style Debate Competition. I hope these materials help.

Sri Aman

Sri Aman is a market town and port, and the capital of Sri Aman and Sri Aman Division in Sarawak, east Malaysia.

Sri Aman is also called Bandar Sri Aman, and was formerly known as Simanggang. Sri Aman in the Malay language means "town of peace ." Located on the Lupar River, it is 193 kilometers, a three hour drive, from Kuching the capital city of Sarawak. It is a trade center for the timber, oil palm, rubber, and pepper of its mostly agricultural district.

Sri Aman is famous for the benak, or tidal bore, of the Batang Lupar River. The tidal bore comes in from the river mouth and fills up the river very rapidly in the course of about 10 minutes. The wave crest at Sri Aman is up to 2 to 3 metres high. This is one of approximately 400 rivers and estuaries in the world where this phenomenon happens. There is a timetable at the river which has the time and dates for when the tidal bore will occur, but the really big ones occur only a couple of times a year. The author Somerset Maugham almost lost his life at Simanggang during one of these tidal bores, and commemorated the event in his short story Yellow Streak.

Sri Aman is also a gateway for tourists to the Batang Ai National Park and cultural tours to the Iban longhouses along the rivers.

Guided Writing My Way

when I started teaching I often find it to be difficult to teach writing as students really hated writing.My Students often do not complete their homework especially if it is writing homework. On the other hand, I really had difficulties in correcting their compositions as the same mistakes are repeated over and over again in every compositions.With this in my mind i tried to come out with and effective way to teach writing ans this is how I  am teaching guided writing to my students. I call it chain - map strategy. This method really helps them to construct the sentences correctly and improve their writing skill. I prepare pthe outline for them based on the questions and i always require them to complete the outline before discussing the composition. During discussion the students will corect their sentences and this help them to improve ther structure. Through this way students will learn a large deal and improve in their writing and we teachers do not need to spend so much time marking their essay. Currently I am doing my action research on this method.
