Some of the students were a bit reluctant, and they didn't really believe that their ideas will be green-lighted by the school and brought to fruition.
It is often this resignation to fate or the notion that their ideas will not make a difference. Why come up with great ideas if they're all gonna be swept under the carpet? Then there's always this fear that their ideas won't work out. It's often easier to just not do anything than to do something and run the risk of failing
The thing is, reluctant students won't remain that way for long while in my class. It is paramount that my students must always believe in themselves and their ability to come out with an idea that's great.
I got Yun Rui, one of my students a previous programme from National Junior College to help out as a facilitator in my class. Her infectious ice-breaker soon roused everyone and I recoreded clip where my class did a class cheer that brought down the house but it would have been too ear-piercingly loud to put it here.
Here's some footages of the great ideas from the cohort training at Dunearn Secondary.
Sometimes, all it takes for unity is 2 fingers. And with a united team, anything is possible.
I should know :)
