Google Cry.........!

Once upon a time, an Indian-origin boy settled down in America and had a job in the IT sector, getting the news that his father was no more. So he had to attend his father’s funeral. He packed his bags and left for India along with his wife. On the way, his wife said that he had to cry over his father’s death. He became perplexed and asked his wife how he would cry. Because he didn’t cry over such an occasion. He started enquiring about it. One of his friends said that he should ask Google about it. Then, he searched over Google, and it said,

“Use a handkerchief, keep it over the face and shout with emotion.”

He got it, but he didn’t understand what the emotion meant. Again he shot the question about it to his wife and friends. Again, they told him that he would ask Google. He just did it, but it said that he had no idea. So he would ask any human being. As he was all the time surrounded by technology and most of the time away from society. He was totally confused about how he would cry with emotion over his father’s death. That day, he realised the value of his forefather’s legacy, but he never practised it.

So that he can change it from time to time. Being a learner, I jotted down some ideas for my teaching profession. At this stage, I feel that these are to be changed in the course of teaching and learning. 1) Icebreakers:- As soon as I enter the class, I try to use some ideas to make my class fresh, energetic and attentive. Maybe small activities such as a hand up, closing your eyes, taking deep breaths, rolling your hands, moving your body, clapping, touching your forehead, gargling and so on. That prepares my students for learnin...
