After working with the TIF staff and collaborating our ideas with their present plans we found a number of opportunities for us to improvise and make better and more interactive lesson plans. Some opportunities were energisers and active games like “Simon says” and “ice-breakers”. We also discussed the importance of having a lot of repetition of key words through out the lesson so that the kids get the hang of the words. We were also able to link our nutrition lesson plan into there ” Living in Bintan” unit and our games of memory cards could be adapted into all their units. The TIF suggested adapting all the active games and ice breakers into their lessons. They also adapted our word games into a new unit about vehicles and transportation. The adapted activities made their present unit more contemporary with 21’st century skills like creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. The units all have a lot of team work and innovative thinking methods.
