Teaching "The Earth, the Moon and the Sun" - inspired by Waldorf
Inspired by Waldorf way of teaching. I led the students to go through this session with my fresh from the oven wet-on-wet painting and also simple form drawing.
Painting was done the night before....within 1 hour.
Fairly done form drawing was done 15 mins before the lesson....i still have much improvement to go.
To be fair to the students who were taking Science in English. All the lessons were conducted in English. I spoke with slow pace and they were able to follow. When they dont understand words like "Wheat". I explained, "It grows only in the US and China, not in M'sia." I drew it out on the board too. And they can understand well. Give them time and they will be able to follow. I dont use Chinese to teach.....this is unfair to them and underestimate their ability to learn.
With this, i conclude, if Waldorf education cant be a philosophy to you, at least it can be a way of living. If not, it can be a methodology that works well and is able to compliment the current teacher center approach in the classroom environment.
