How to.....

Our students have turned out to be quite the teachers here in Kadod! Recently, Priya and I read the story “The Bike Lesson” a Berenstein Bears classic. In the story, Papa Bear buys Little Bear a new bike and teaches him how to ride it through a series of lessons. After the 9th and 11th graders read and fully understood to story, we had them write and then present instructions for how to make a favorite food of theirs or how to play their favorite games in a step-by-step manner to teach their classmates. Here’s what they came up with!

How to Play Cricket by Rinkesh Dhangar

I play cricket. There are eleven cricketers on each team. There are bowlers and all-rounder cricketers on the team. There are fifty overs in the match. In one over, there are six balls. There are two players playing and eleven players fielding. There are two umpires in the match. There is one captain and one coach on each team. One team wins a match. There are many people in the stadium watching the cricket match.

In other news, we also showed “The Wizard of Oz” to the 9th standard students of Kadod High School. It turned out to be quite a production as we attempted to get everything from the sound to the screen and projector ready so all the students could watch in the large Examination Room. All the students (especially the girls!) really enjoyed it and kept cheering when all the different characters started singing. They especially loved the witches character as well as the fairy. However, we’ve promised the boys that next time, we’ll show them a funny animated film!

Well that’s it for now! And please let us know if you have any recommendations for movies you think the kids would enjoy!
