Got up early to get into school to finish off my lesson plan. The start of the lesson was pretty boring - teaching types of humour from the text book, so I decided to do something a bit more exciting for the second half. I took the song 'Ironic' which tied back to my theme of humour, and wrote the lyrics for the chorus on a piece of paper at the front of the class. Then I put the students into groups of 4 and they had to run up, memorise the words and then go back to their group and recite them to a 'writer' who then wrote them down. It actually went down really well with 4 out of 5 of my classes and got better as the day went on and I re-defined the rules to include the banning of camera's and mobile phones as they had used these in the first lesson to record the words! I later had to include another rule which said the lyrics had to remain at the front of the class as they got more inventive!! Went for noodles tonight as we worked out that we hadn't had them for over 2 weeks.
