Grandma and the Pirates

Grandma and the Pirates

An interesting adventure story
on the sea!Summary:

hungry pirates. As the three savage men can't cook, they are hungry for the nice food. They go ashore, walk into Grandma's house, eat all of the pudding,

Reader's Digest, January 2009

Reader's Digest, January 2009

In this issue, I found the following two articles quite helpful.

1. "In Pursuit of Happiness"

  It says that happiness is something that can be learnt, much like healthy eating habits.

  What a blissful message it is!

  Some ways to get happy are also suggested in this article, for example,

  practice random act of kindness, or set aside time to do something new.

  In my friend's June's blog, she shared 15 habits of happiness, ideas from an article in CommonWealth Magazine issue 414. They are also feasible ways to achieve

happiness of life.

 2. "The Power of One"

   The 2004 tsunami changed Jet Li forever. Now he wants to change the world.

   Jet Li and his daughters were caught up in the real-life horror of the devastating

 tsunami that hit on 26 December, 2000. After the incident, he came to realize

 that however powerful or famous he was, it could not help him in the nick of life

 and death. Through this realization, he decided to do something to make the

world a better place. He founded the Red Cross Jet Li One Foundation to support

international disaster relief efforts. He believes that think big by thinking small. If

everyone gives one yuan every month, it will add up to billions. This time, Jet Li

aims to make a real difference in the world.

學習是人生致勝的關鍵。---古市幸雄

本書主要是探討擬定目標與實驗的方法，書中提到的論點及方法並不難，最主要的是如何持續進修及精進而不間斷。作者並點出持之以恆的驚人累積效果。

【例1】

 學習成效 = (教材、服務的質) × (集中力) × (學習時間)² +
                (過去累積的學習)

 因此可見時間是最重要的因素。作者建議學習不能以一百公尺短跑的方式進
 行，而應如馬拉松一樣，持續進行效果會提升數倍。

【例2】

 如何騰出時間？這是好問題！

 作者提出以下的建議：
 1. 不要看電視。(看電視其實占了許多時間！)

 2. 上網時間有所節制。

 3. 充份利用通勤時間。

 4. 利用早晨學習比較有效率。

【例3】

 另外作者也舉出讓注意力集中的一些方法，指出以「短時間學習」(三十分鐘)à

 休息 (十五鐘)，才能要較佳的學習效果。

【例4】

 作者提出學習要設定目標，並寫下來，常溫習，讓達成目標成為積極的動力。

【例5】

 飲食和睡眠影響學習成效，作者提出他的看法。他也建議飯後十分鐘再從事學

 習活動或工作。

 作者在書中也以自身的成功經驗，分享有效學英語的方法：

 1. 要學有用的英語。

 2. 要增加英語學習量。

 3. 要背誦詞組。(e.g. I have nothing to do with...)，才能
     運用自如。

 4. 觀看HBO及電視影集 (Friends，六人行)。

 5. 要精進快速理解簡易文章的技能 (e.g.網路文章及英文
     報紙)可以每天快速閱讀三十分鐘左右的英文。

 6. 常書寫英文。

 作者也直指想學好英語，則一年的英語學習量要達一千小時，最少要有七百五

 十小時。

    終身學習極其重要，持續學習就端看個人是否學而有方，並願意長期投資自 
 己，讓自己與時俱進!

  

The True Story of Pocahontas

The True Story of Pocahontas

 This book, an easy reader, helps readers
 understand the culture and beliefs of Indians better.

   Personally, I enjoy the movie, "Pocahontas" and the beautiful song, "Colors of the Wind" a lot. In fact, they have aroused my interest in knowing more about the Indian princess Pocahontas. Reading this book, The True Story of Pocahontas shed new light on her life, Indian life, and the origins of Virginia.

   There are four chapters in this book:

     1. The Sailing Ship

         Seeing a big sailing ship in the bay, Pocahontas was very  
         excited, but her father, Chief Powhatan was quite concerned
         because he thought the coming of the white men would only
         bring them big problems.
     2. Pocahontas meets John Smith
         Captain John Smith and his men came to establish a small
         establishment  there, later called Jamestown. But when
         looking for food, John Smith and his men killed two Indians.
         Hence he was captured and sentenced to death. But
         fortunately Pocahontas came to rescue his life.    

         (History background: The Origins of Virginia)

     3. Winter in Jamestown

         Winter came to Jamestown. The settlers there had little
         food to eat. Were it not for the help of Pocahontas and other
         Indians, many more settlers would have starved to death. 
         Pocahontas saved John Smith once again by notifying him
         that his life was in danger. After this adventure, John Smith
         returned to England.    
     4. Chief Powhatan declares War!
         Chief Powhatan declared war against the white settlers.   
         Pocahontas was sent to live with the Potomac Indians. But 
         she was trapped and sent to Jamestown.
         (History background: Indian Life)
      5. Pocahontas falls in Love
          In Jamestown, Pocahontas met her future husband, John
          Rolfe, a white man. In 1614, they got married. It was
          believed that their marriage brought peace to the 
          Virginia Colony.
          Soon after their marriage, the couple went to London.
          Pocahontas was warmly received by the people in the big
          city. Surprisingly, she met John Smith, whom she thought
          had been dead.
          Pocahontas and John Rolfe had a son. But after the birth of
          her son, Pocahontas became very sick and died at the age 
          of 21. Though her life was a short one, this Indian
          princess was remembered by many people for her
          courage and compassion showed in her friendship toward
          the English settlers of Jamestown.     

          (History background: Virginia Today)

龍山國中「英語每日一句」廣播經驗分享

龍山國中「英語每日一句」廣播經驗分享

   龍山國中「英語每日一句」實施多年，在校園中已成為學習生活及實用英語的重要一環。除了每個月印給學生一份當月的每日一句，「英語每日一句」廣播也是促進學生有效學習的良方。

   「英語每日一句」廣播由任教八年級的英語教師負責，每個人負責一天的廣播。我負責的為每週二的廣播。以下和大家分享播報「英語每日一句」的經驗。

一. 廣播時間：8:22-8:25 a.m.

二. 廣播組員：  
     1. 校內師長    

    
     2. 學生

    
     3. 交換學生

師長及交換學生的播廣比較容易上手，至於學生方面則常需要師長指導發音、語調及活潑度。
選擇學生廣播的原則為發音清楚，聲音宏亮量不含糊，聲量夠大。
一般來說，只要教師擬定好廣播稿，花點時間做廣播前演練，學生都會有不錯的表現。
以八年級來說，上學期為教師準備廣播稿，下學期則可以試著讓部分學生準備廣播內容或親師一起合作。

三. 廣播內容：

   1. 打招呼並做介紹

      Annie & Mary: Good morning, everyone.

      Annie: It's time for a sentence a day. I'm Annie.

      Mary: I'm Mary.

   2. 複習前一天的內容

      Annie: The top of the week is "Drinking more water." First,
                let's review the sentence we learned yesterday.
                Drinking water is good for you.

        Jerry: 喝水對你有益。

      Annie: Drinking water is good for you.
        Jerry: 喝水對你有益。

     接著用一段對話呈現該句學習內容，將語言學習由單句擴增為較大的語

     境，與生活與學習情境相結合，也能增進學生了解及運用句子的能力。

      Annie: Now listen to the conversation. Do you drink a lot of  
                water every day, Jerry?
        Jerry: No, I don't.

      Annie: Why not?
       Jerry: I drink a lot of coke every day.

      Annie: Jerry, you should drink less coke but more water.

       Jerry: Yes, I know, Ms. Chan.

      Annie: Good. How about you, Mary?   

       Mary: I drink at least eight glasses of water every day.

      Annie: You sure have a healthy way of life, Mary.
                Remember, drinking water is good for you.  

 3. 介紹當天的學習內容

      Annie: Now, let's learn more about drinking water today.
                Our sentence today is "If you drink enough water, you
                will get healthy skin."
 4. 解釋當天的學習內容

      Annie: Jerry, will you please explain this sentence for us?

        Jerry: Yes, sure. If you drink enough water, you will get
                 healthy skin. "If"這個連接詞，意思為「如果」。"enough"這
                 個形容詞，意思為「足夠的」。"If you drink enough
                 water"這個條件子句的意思為「如果你喝足夠的水」。接著
                 我們來看一下主要子句you will get healthy skin。will+動詞
                 原式表示未來。 "get"這個動詞，意思為「獲得」。"healthy"
                 這個形容詞，意思為「健康的」。"skin"的意思為「皮膚」，
                 因此整句話的意思為「如果你喝足夠的水，你會有健康的皮
                 膚」。   

 5. 讓學習者跟著廣播重述句子

     Annie: Now repeat the sentence after me. If you drink enough 
               water, you will get healthy skin. (間隔5秒)
       Jerry: If you drink enough water, you will get healthy skin.
               (間隔5秒)
     Annie: Now repeat the sentence after me. If you drink enough
                water, you will get healthy skin. (間隔5秒)
        Jerry: If you drink enough water, you will get healthy skin.
                (間隔5秒)
       間隔5秒的用意為讓學生能充份地跟著廣播複誦。
6. 再強化學習內容

      Annie: Drinking water is good for you. If you drink enough
                water, your skin will sure look better.
7. 廣播結束招呼語
     Annie: That's all for today. Thank you for your listening.
     Goodbye.

影音分享

(英語每日一句廣播: 龍山國中 祁若晏、高韻筑)

優質的廣播，事先的準備不可少。充份的準備與演練將是廣播成功的要素。又是一學期的廣播經驗，我相信對於我，對於參與這個活動的師生都是難忘的學習經驗。

The Trumpet of the Swan

The Trumpet of the Swan

   I bought this book long ago, but I never found the right time or had the right mood to read it. I know it's a book worth reading since my best friend, June, once highly recommended it. She even shared the plot of the story with me. But not until yesterday did I open the book once again and begin to read it. At the beginning, I didn't expect myself to enjoy the book so much. But to my great surprise, I read the book from cover to cover in less than a day. Well, the book touched my heart deeply.

   The book is a wonderful one about courage, freedom and love. The main character of the story is Louis, a Trumpeter Swan. But sadly enough, he is different from any of his brothers or sisters because he is mute. For a Trumpeter Swan, lacking a voice is not only defective but also disadvantageous when finding a mate.
   Louis's father, the cob, decided to give a hand to solve his problem. He broke into a music store and made off with a beautiful brass trumpet. He wanted the trumpet to be his son's voice. In sacrificing his own honor, the cob wished his son to have a new and better life.

  Louis accepted his father's great gift, but he was also burdened with guilt. He decided to do something to compensate for what his father had done for him. With effort and determination, he learned to play the trumpet. Owing to his musical talent and the trumpet, he not only fulfilled his commitment to repay the owner of the music store for the stolen trumpet but also won the heart of Serena, the swan of his desiring.    

  Another point to mention is the friendship between Sam, a bird lover, and Louis. Sam met Louis when he was a cygnet, a baby Trumpeter Swan. At every turn of Louis's life, Sam was the one who came to help. How deep and blissful is the friendship between them!     
  The book is a definitely a must-read. Read it and enjoy it!

親子天下_培養自學力

親子天下_培養自學力

及早開始培養自學力就等於替孩子準備好
強壯的羽翼，
讓他們無懼無恐的飛向二十一世紀的天際。

---《親子天下》 no.3

讓孩子自動自發愛學習，培養自學力，一向為父母及教師所期許。

問題是How?

《親子天下》no.3 (2008年12號)以國際趨勢篇、現況篇、人物篇、家庭篇及資源篇等五個面向探討自學力養成的策略與實例，頗可參考。在五個篇章中，以國際趨勢篇最讓我獲益最多。

1. ROCK學程 (Revolution of Core Knowledge)以學生為中心，從開放性的活動，激勵學生學習，自我監控及覺察，進而培養出其自動自發學習的能力。

2. OECD提出的在三大領域中的九大關鍵能力值得思考。

3. 在專訪Barry Zimmerman一文中，他談到有些技巧教師可以透過課程教導學
   生：

  (1) 時間管理及規劃技巧

  (2) 做筆記技巧

  (3) 寫作技巧

  (4) 理解文章及摘要的技巧 (閱讀技巧)

  (5) 預測自己的考試成績及準備考試的技巧

  這些技巧正是說明教導學生「如何學」和「教什麼」一樣重要。只是這些似乎是當今教育常忽略的一環。教師在趕課之餘是否也應思考學生是否在學習？

4. 在國際趨勢篇中有些對學習的看法很不錯：

   (1) 好老師會教學生注意過程，尤其是在開始的階段。

   (2) 孩子找到和所學的關連，就會愈在乎，就學的愈認真。

5. 香港實例

   用閱讀全面啟動自學力。

   宣基小學推廣閱讀的理念值得參考：

   (1) 閱讀是思考及學習主要的輸入工具。

   (2) 閱讀其實是一個解難過程及思考過程。

   (3) 掌握閱讀策略，要擁有一套有效的解難方法與提升理解閱讀的深層意義。

   可觀賞香港教學現場影片。

   閱讀這本雜誌對於自學力有更深刻的了解，雜誌中提出的學習策略可運於教學，引導學生自律學習並喜愛學習。

與實習老師對話 (二)

與實習老師對話 (二)

對話是分享的美好時刻，
啟動思維，
引發思考，
也激勵彼此。很快地，
和實習老師展開第二次的對話。
這次我和她們分享的重點：
 親師溝通
1. 如何和家長有效溝通？
2. 如何運用家長的資源？
3. 如何準備學校日的相關資料？
4. 假期中的班級經營及親師溝通。
實習老師提問的問題為
1. 是否有需要對學生進行家訪？
2. 家長若是願意協助班務，教師應如何回應？ 
另外我們也討論了教師甄試的應考策略及準備方向。
我的建議為
1. 要妥善安排時間。
2. 擬定應考計劃，並常做調整。
3. Form a study group.
4. 確實搜集相關資料，著力方向要對。
5. 設計好教學演示的流程。
6. 全力以赴！ 
今天我也邀請705導師陳怡婷老師來參加，
她大方地提供班級經營的圖書和實習老師們分享。
互動和分享的感覺真好！
又一次的感動!

四位實習老師及怡婷老師，
祝福你們應考順利，
成為正式的教師!

祝你生日快樂!

祝你生日快樂!
Happy Birthday Therapy!

Each birthday is one step higher up the mountain.
Behold the view that becomes clearer and more expansive as you climb, 
that continually unfolds more and more of 
its glory before you!
---Lisa Engelhardt  

It's delightful and thoughtful to read this book on my birthday, for

this book provides some unique views about birthdays.

For example,

It says that count a blessing for every candle on your cake. Celebrate the abundance of your life.

It also reminds readers not to ignore their birthdays:

Don't ignore your birthday. A birthday is a wonderful opportunity for renewing, rejuvenating, rejoicing!

So read this book, and believe that your birthday is your special day, and once again,

tell yourself that you are special. Build your confidence on your birthday. Live your life mindfully and passionately. And go for your dreams!

充滿驚喜的一天

充滿驚喜的一天

感動地數度想掉淚的一天!
如果幸福可以一一細數，
我的心在無比的感動中！

一大早，
仍如平時一樣在七點前就進入教室。
寒冷的一天！
知道今天會很忙，
因此看808都已坐定就緒，
我就開始批改聯絡簿。
注意到幾個現象：
1. 若晏為什麼來的特別早？
2. 同學們怎麼一大早就很high? (心電感應?)
3. 佳琪怎麼帶一大包東西來學校？又那堂課要表演？道具？
4. 若晏為什麼交待一份學習單要花那麼多時間？  
但因為我一邊批改聯絡簿，就沒花心思做很多聯想。
7:10
開始英語晨讀。
看到慶伶老師坐在座位上。
昨天她告訴我她會早一點來校，
但未免太早了!
開始上課了!
7:17
盈臻突然站起來。
我有點錯愕，
直問，「盈臻，你怎麼了？」
她並沒有回答！
一會兒，
換右邊的菀柔也站起來。
驚奇指數飆高！
7:18
808開始拉炮!
全班大笑!
原來超棒的808要給我一個生日的驚喜！

佳琪代表全班給我一個美麗的小熊及愛心花束！

慶伶老師代表超棒808給我一張載有滿滿祝福的生日卡!

五位同學站起來，舉牌!
生日快樂!

一起為老師唱生日快樂歌!

 
帥哥和美女和老師合照。

下午3:50正忙著處理文字檔 (段考試題得獎心得)
八導又帶給我一個驚奇!
一個超漂亮的蛋糕!

好感動!
給每個老師一個愛的擁抱!

4:08
訓導主任謝中輝主任帶來林美娟校長及
訓導處同仁的祝福!





4:15
進入808的教室。
又是另一個驚喜!

琬甄老師，謝謝你!







感謝大家的祝福!

與實習老師對話 (一)

與實習老師對話 (一)

教學多年，
和實習老師們常有交集。
但是97學年度的四位實習老師很特別。
肯學、肯問，
也因此有了這次對話。整個對談的緣由是因為1/9
我在導師會議上和導師們分享部分的班級經營理念及做法。
1/12明琪老師來找我，她表示是否能進808教室觀察班級經營。
經我解釋808的班級運作其實是學生井然有序分工進行，
因此導師的角色其實是觀察與引導而已。
明淇老師表示很想知道我如何在七年級凝塑一個班級的風格及
經營模式。
就此促成了和四位實習的班級經營對話。
對談的進行方式為四位實習老師預先準備好 要發問的題目，因為班級經營有多種面向，並不是一堂課所能涵蓋。

四位實習老師的提問主要有以下幾個問題：
1. 如何培養學生的自學力？
2. 如果讓學生自行考試，會不會有做弊的情況發生？
3. 班上有如果會影響整班秩序的學生如何處理？
4. 班級幹部如何產生及培養他們做事的能力？
5. 導師如何領導班級？ 
6. 如何提升班級讀書風氣？

7. 如何避免班級形成一個個小圈圈？

一堂課的對話很緊湊，很充實，
透過部落格、投影片及實例的解說，
讓對話內容更具體而印象深刻！
四位實習老師也勤做筆記，
學習的態度令人感動！

教務主任祁明輝主任也加入了對談，他對班級經營也有一套獨到的見解。他對整個對談做總結及補充，並期勉四位實習老師。

很棒的一次對談，能和實習老師分享實在很令人開心。

我對她們主動提問，一想探究班級經營要訣的心，

很感佩！
 

經驗的傳承是件很有意義的事。
往後只要四位實習老師想要繼續請益，
我很樂意和她們分享！
她們的真誠和用心深深感動了我！
期待下一次的對話！

365 Meditations for Teachers

365 Meditations for Teachers


The best way to learn is to teach.
We gain more knowledge about a subject
and how to teach it from pupils than from
any book.
---Greg Henry Quinn

  This is a book that I treasure a lot. I read it again and again. Each time I read it, it gives me a new perspective into teaching. It never fails to remind me what teaching is really about.

  This book contains 365 selected quotes from teachers and educators. The reader can read a quote a day and finish the whole book in one year.

  Each quote is thought-inspiring.

  Here are some cited from the book.  

  1. February 12    

    No matter how small, acknowledge the achievement.

  2. May 23

    He is wealthiest who gives the most.

  3. September 7

Changing your attitude is always more successful than changing your
circumstances.

Just as it is told on the November 19 entry:

When one stops learning, one stops growing. When one stops growing, one stops.

This book inspires readers to keep learning and reflecting about teaching.

  

Chicken Soup for the Mother and Son Soul

Chicken Soup for the Mother and Son Soul

No language can express the power and beauty and heroism and majesty of a mother's love.

---Edwin Hubbell Chapin

   A mother's love is limitless, abundant in joy, support, and forgiveness. This book is about the great love of mothers for their sons, the strong bond between mothers and sons, and the all aspects of the loving relationship between them.

  The book contains eight parts:

  1. Special Moments

    "My Sinking Heart" describes the loneliness of a mother whose son is away serving in the navy. She misses her son terribly on her birthday. She doesn't expect him to return to celebrate her 50^th birthday with her. But to her great surprise and joy, her son disguises himself as a firefighter, appearing at her surprise birthday party. What a great strong bond between the mother and the son!

  2. Boys Will be Boys

   "Wassup?" is about the challenge a mother encounters during his son's teen years. The mother is bewildered with her son's way of communication- using one or two words to convey the main idea. She endeavors to conceive a way to communicate with her son. But to the end, she accepts that it's just a phase of growing.

  3. A Mother's Love

  4. A Son's Love

    Just as Pindar says, " Every gift, though it be small, is in reality great if given with affection." This touching story describes how a loving mother cherishes her son's gift-a string necklace made of hand-colored macaroni pieces. She wears it everywhere she goes and shows it to everyone who admires this special gift. As time passes, the necklace is broken and forgotten. But to her great surprise, over twenty-five years later, the son of the loving mother presents her a small box with a pearl necklace in it. He gives his mother the special gift because he wants to thank his mother's genuine appreciation of his small gift of the string necklace when he is a small boy.

It's a touching story to read.
