For most of our Prathom 6 students writing is the most difficult skill to learn and the one that they dislike the most.So, to create a bit of excitement and interest in a writing exercise we bought each student a piece of fruit or a vegetable and placed it on their desks. This got their attention! And, once they understood that they would get to eat what they had been given after they had written about it, they were keen to begin!
For some of the students it was the first time that they had seen some of the fruit (peaches and nectarines for example) so there was some vocabulary to be learnt. Also the students needed to learn other vocabulary such as seeds, shiny, dull, hairy and on the inside/outside. Also we tried to encourge the use of 'and' to improve their writing ability.
This class was a big success; most of the students produced good work and all tried to produce their best writing. It was a very, very noisy class though!!
The five stories immediately following this post show examples of the students work.
