Hahaha!! The funniest thing happened today in my 5m1s33 class. Amir, a boy with a good sense of humour and could be quite irritating at times finally had his fair share. We were doing report writing and just like other lessons, it was also time to play the marker pen game! Hahaha.. my students loved as well as hated the game. Why ? Simply because they had to take turns showing how much they knew about the discussed topic by writing a relevant word on the board. As much as they hated it, they also found it enriching at the same time !
Now back to Amir. It was then his turn to share. In order to help him reduce his nervousness while writing on the board, I asked him this question, " Amir, now tell me. Do you have a girlfriend?" He quickly answered, " No madam, I don't. " Almost in choral, the whole class protested loudly " He's lying! He's lying!" Amir, however calmly brushed it off by saying " No, I do not have any girlfriend. Mine are all boyfriends," while continuing writing on the board. As soon as he finished saying this, out of sudden, there was a very loud sound of thunder! We were silent for a while and looked out of the window for signs of rain.
Surprisingly, we found the weather just fine. Then, everything made sense and the whole class burst into laughter! Hahaha! In between laughter I said, " See Amir, even the nature is against you! You shouldn't have lied to your teacher !! But this boy was not at all disturbed! He completed his task at the board as if nothing had happened and even wrote his name there before returning to his seat. Out of sudden, again came the second sound of thunder! That really freaked him out I think because he rushed back to the board and erased his name! Hahaha! Serves him right !!! Amik ko ! It was indeed a day to remember !
