A new baby born

Hello World!!!

Hi, this is the first blog of our english club in MTs N 2 Kudus. Our students were so excited that some of them went to school so early in the afternoon after school. Our english club is in its first year and today is its first day. I am so excited that when I went home, I spent my time to stare at my laptop writing this very first blog of ours.

Working in pairs in class

Our first meeting was attended by most of our students. Because this is the first time we have a club, we decided to pick some of our best students in English from 7th and 8th grade to join the club. The club name is Juvenile English Club. We chose the name because most of our members are teens and we want to have their great spirit and hopefully it will affect us in learning English. Hopefully our English Club will last long and have a role in introducing our school nation wide.

Our fist meeting was all about INTRODUCTION. We sent students inside a class and have them introduce themselves one another and YES! we made that as a game. This is how we did it:

1. Design the chairs facing one another
2. Instruct the students to come forward and make 2 lines
3. Front line gets the first chance to choose their seat on the left side of the table
4. The next line gets to choose the right side of the table
5. The left side ask questions (introduction) to the right side student, while the right side students tick points to what the left students asked (we gave them 5 questions before the game to ask to their partner)
6. After finishing the first turn, students gets another two turns but with different partners

Thus made our students excited and felt comfortable in our first meeting. Good Job for the teachers hehehehehe…..

O yeah, we did ask students to go to a Debate Competition next week for an experience. The Debate is for Senior High School and we wanted our students to know what is and how to debate, but that will be the next post to tell. See you again!
