PBPS: Session 2

Pre-session planning:

Similar to Session 1, we created a Google document to brainstorm a timeframe and activities to do with the children with our given topic. As it was a slightly older age range this time, we decided to do more creative games rather than active games - we chose a "draw a picture from memory in reference to an image" activity in order to engage and fortify what they've learnt from the earlier part of the session in a visual manner.

General Notes:

- Relatively good bainstorms of vocabulary however with a number of prompts

- Most students tried to describe image (main activity) in English, although occasional Cantonese, especially when they got frustrated

- Ran relatively smoothly, but students didn't seem as engaged as anticipated; perhaps this was because of a mismatch between our type of activity and their current stage level of English

Reflections / Improvments:

- Could've aimed for a more fast-paced, fun game (splat) instead of drawing from memory (mainly one person drawing, some describing, some not doing much)

- During a break, whilst spectating Group B, we noticed that with the same group, they seemed more attentive and engaged when doing an interactive activity that actively engaged every member; this will be taken into consideration when planning for future sessions
