Hello again, yes me again. Although it is the second time this week that I have talked to you. I just missed you so much and wanted to share another study units work with you. My week is still the same. Today everything settled down and I found my feet at the school. Today I had to make my voice loud and be someone completely different. Kids faces is so cute, but with the generation of today you must keep your guard and don’t let those cute faces fool you.   Lets talk about the fourth study unit. Art … what a lovely way to relax, find inner peace and just be yourself. A lot of people barely know what art means. They believe only an artist can make art.

I have also learned the importance of play in education. BASED OF ON THE STORY THAT WAS GIVEN: What possibly made some learners uncomfortable during these activities? The one learner did not understand Zulu. Unfortunately, the song the students sang wa...

  This week has been quite nice. The workload is finally getting little better. I was quite sick last week so I have been catching up and working from where I stopped last. I like working ahead so I know when I get sick, I don’t get anxious about the workload. There is so much that I found quite interesting about this work. The elements of music were quite amazing to learn about. How everything is intertwined together but still on its own. Although I already knew most of these things, I had a great time watching the videos and learning how I could teach it to my students one day.   Individual reflection 1.   Contemporary Commercial Music (CCM) refer to non-classical music. This includes experimental music, folk, country, rap, hip-hop, soul, R&B, gospel, rock, pop, and the music theatre. So, when you look at the bigger picture, it includes so many genres. This would be very beneficial to the students since not everyone has the same ‘’taste’’ in music. The CCM ...
