I have finished the graphic organiser that I shall get my students to use for their writing tomorrow. They are really bad at putting in content. I have realised that with each passing year, students seem to have lesser and lesser imagination. I blame it on too much visual stimulations. They don't need to imagine what a dragon looks like because television will show them what a dragon looks like. You ask them to imagine what a dragon looks like, they would probably ask you to go watch Harry Potter or something instead of trying to paint you a picture using words of how a dragon in their minds look like. So when you ask them to put in a light-hearted (by the way, most of them don't even know what that means) event in their letter, they cannot think of any except touching/kicking each other's balls, or zips left undone. Really no originality.
I really have to sleep soon. I woke up with the reminder that there are tons of things i need to do. I shall make a list. When I make list, it's a sure sign that everything is NOT right.

Was telling Dee and KK that my brains have this ability to forget what has happened in school. Maybe it's just me being miserable. Or maybe age is catching up with me. Whatever it is, it is not a good feeling.
