Sem break coincides with the hari raya celebrations but students went off a week earlier, claiming difficulty in getting travel tickets home.
I assigned them some practice exercises on writing summaries, and told them they were to read a few articles online and tell the class what they read when they return. The summary quiz has been scheduled for the week that they return from the break. I'm not happy with that because the students have barely had enough time to really improve. Although they have learnt summary writing before for the MUET, they still need more guidance and practice.
Amyliana is the only one who won't be able to go online because her kampung is too remote to have internet access. She struggles with her work but tries hard. Another student has complained that hostel activities are too demanding but ahe has no choice but to comply because lack of participation would certainly mean no place in the hostel the next semester. Poor students - they are such an oppressed lot!
