Journal entry-2


The Wolf and the Lamb



I always acknowledge  my students  that  a teacher  does not  mean to torture them when s/he  gives  students to many homework  or exercises to finish.  Hence, sighing all the times in doing work is not good. Sometimes, we  teachers tend to act like the wolf  and our students like the lamb in the story where they are pushed  to do work to  achieve our own goal. 


Just to give you an example, when a principal set a certain percentage to pass in your subject, you have to work hard to achieve it .  As a result, you sometimes forget that we teachers should be considerate ones. I learn a moral from this story that we teachers should always remind ourselves to be caring and loving teachers. NOT TO TAKE GRANTED OF OUR POWER TO ACHIEVE OUR GOAL ALONE BUT TO SERVE  OTHERS AS PEOPLE WHO NEED OUR CARE AND ATTENTION.

Seeing into the suitability of the fable story in teaching English, I prefer to use this to the LEP students because most of the stories in the Easop fables are short and simple. As in my experience, LEP students could not take long time to give their  concentration in class. Giving them the short and simple story with apparent moral values will give them motivation to participate activities you provide in class.
