hii guys!! the camp is over and i'm pretty sure most of us had a great time during the camp...i really enjoyed the camp compared to the previous one because i didn't have any experience on that time...but the first camp helped me a lot in this latest camp...talking about the post mortem...there's not much to comment on as we had done it in the class with mr G...and i'm sure that all of us had a greater contribution in this camp...oh yeah...by the way..i want to comment on the selection of games and songs...in my opinion..there is one or two games which is difficult to play...before that...i'm not going to blame anyone but it is just a reminder so that we won't do it again next time...ok?? mmm...one of the game is animal habit...for me this game is not suitable because the students can't describe the habits of the animals...most of them know how to describe animals in malay and they didn't know the term or words in english...besides..they didn't know the characteristics of the animals such as their habitat..their activity and so on..my group took a long time to finish the game as they couldn't describe the animal correctly...some of them looked unhappy when they couldn't finish the sentences and it decreased the students' interest...another game is dash it and hang it...the game is quite ok but the clue given was very difficult for the students to draw...some students can understand the sentences but they couldn't imply it in the drawing...but we manage to finish the game and what we did was we kept on giving clues to the students...we gave them extra time to think and guess the answer...luckily, we played this game with another group and it was like a competition...so the students were motivated to play and they were eager to win...about the songs...some of them are difficult to sing as they are changes in the lyrics and the tune is out of tempo...there were many songs in the programme book but we kept on singing the same song for the whole camp....such as it's a small world...baa baa black sheep...these song are very catchy and easy to remember that's why students like the songs very much...so we have to select a simple but catchy song after this and make sure the students sing all the song provided in the programme book...i think that's all from me...but before i end...i would like to acknowledge everybody that i'm not going to blame anyone by giving such comments...i hope that we won't do the same mistakes again and can organize a much more better language camp after this....cheriiioooo!!! :-)
