Teaching journal 2

What did I learn in class today?



1. 4-6pm, 34 degrees and 99% humidity is about the worst moment to get teenagers to sit still.

2. Jokes help, even awful ones.
A Singaporean, a Malaysian and a Thai walked into a pub one day...

3. Teach with lots of specimens and hands-on to keep them (and self) from dozing.
Eeek! Watch that Isoptera disintegrate...

4. It's no harm letting them make some noise or dismissing them early.
Mostly for my own benefit *snigger*
