This document outlines a 7-week art lesson unit for Primary 4 students focused on the artwork "Salted Fish" by Cheong Soo Pieng. Over several lessons, students analyze the artwork and excerpts from the story "Salted Fish", discuss related artworks, and create their own alternative story titled "Salted Fish" using a single sheet of paper to form a picture book. The unit aims to help students understand artworks and illustrate stories through images.
Intercultural Approach To Taskbased Colloboration 11thDavid Brooks
Overcoming personal and cultural barriers to producing language for students in monolingual educational environments is a major challenge. This session introduces a broad outline for setting up an intercultural approach to task-based, performance-focused learning. Design of performance tasks and ways to enhance them through student collaboration is the main focus.
IF THE TEACHER WANTS TO CREATE A GOOD COMMUNICATIVE CONTEXT WHERE STUDENTS CAN INTERACT IN ENGLISH, HE/SHE NEEDS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DRAMAS OR ROLE PLAYS.

Learning to speak and listen with confidence in a foreign language is the job of a lifetime. An integrated whole language approach promotes the development of speaking and listening as intimately connected, rather than individual mechanistic and separate activities (Andrews, R. 2001). Therefore, the contexts in which speaking and listening takes place are crucially important for its holistic development. ‘Speak, Listen, Laugh!’ will focus on five principle contexts for the acquisition of speaking and listening skills in an EFL context - talk and discussion, play and games, story, improvised drama and poetry. What better way is there to enhance children’s English abilities than through a variety of stimulating, interactive contexts?

The goal is to create many beautiful books with your class. Creating beautiful books combine with visual and verbal language in a personal, meaningful way. The purpose of this project is to utilize Book Arts as an integrated learning tool in your classroom. Book making can enhance learning in any discipline, particularly science and social studies. The type of book and the resulting writing and art choices should complement the students' development level, abilities and curriculum content.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Primary 4 Art lesson unit
1. Exhibition 2016
Salted Fish
CONTENT/ BACKGROUND
A 7-week lesson unit for Primary 4 students on making their storybooks based an artwork
“Salted Fish” by pioneer artist Cheong Soo Pieng.
ENDURING UNDERSTANDING
Art reveals artist’s experiences and imagination.
ELEGANT ART TASK
Create an alternative story titled “Salted Fish” by making a picture book with one sheet of paper.
LESSON OBJECTIVES
1. Pupils will be able to create images that illustrate the meaning of the print text.
2. Pupils will be able to create picture books
Lesson 1 & 2
Pupils were shown a behind-the-scene image
of a traditional Wayang Kulit performance. They
were asked to generate words or short phrases
that they thought of when viewing the still
image. The group worked together to classify
the words based on its association with the
senses. For e.g. Dim Sight, Hot Touch
Pair work
Pupils were shown 2 extracts from the book
Salted Fish by Yeo Wei Wei. They analysed the
text and translate the images in their head into
drawings. A paper consisting of 3 frames were
given to them for distributing the drawings
according to introduction, middle and end with
reference to the text.
Students may not be
familiar with translating
text to images. Make
reference to their ‘guided
writing’ in English
Language class and
explain that in Art lesson
we are just doing the
opposite.
Lesson 3
The class played a game involving guessing the theme of the dollar note denomination for the Singapore note
currency. 2 images by artists Cheong Soo Pieng and Chen Wen Hsi on the back of the $50 note were then chosen for
in-depth discussion.
Possible questions:
Where do you think this place might be?
Who might these people be?
What do you think they are doing?
Comment/ describe about their attire/ heritage and
features
Pupils compare and contrast the traditional Wayang Kulit
image from lesson 1 with “Drying salted fish”.
Possible questions:
Are there any similarities between these artworks? What
are the similarities?
Are there any differences between these artworks? What
are the differences?
2. Exhibition 2016
Salted Fish
Lesson 4 & 5
Teacher recapped the lesson by reading the 2 extracts of the story Salted Fish. The
elegant art task will be explained: Create an alternative story titled “Salted Fish” by
making a picture book with one sheet of paper.
Lesson 6 & 7
Pupils will walk around and read each other’s stories and complete their self and
peer evaluation forms - PQP. Teacher will select some samples of pupils’ work and
share with the class. Teacher will also close the lesson by going back to the image
of the painting Drying Salted Fish, mention that Cheong Soo Pieng is one of the
early artists of the Nanyang School who were largely immigrants from China; this
group of artists include Chen Chong Swee, Liu Kang, Georgette Chen, Chen Wen
Hsi and Cheong Soo Pieng.
Through both text and imagery, pupils’ handmade picture books express their imagination and communicate ideas. According to the Physical, Art and Music (PAM)
research, one of the effective art teaching practices is to build pupils’ understanding of an art form through multiple entry points (p. 53). As described in the lesson unit,
pupils’ storytelling activity is anchored by discussion of the images on local currency, Cheong Soo Pieng’s painting, reading excerpts from an inspired story written by Yeo
Wei Wei and their observations of the features of a published book with their inputs. Discussion revolving the parts of the book such as the book’s shape and size, the kind
of paper, pop-ups or the choice in which the readers view one two-page spread at a time frequently took place during the book-making sessions. Close examination of the
relationship between images in the book, the combination and arrangement of the images, the pace at which the artist guides the turning of pages, the play between the
images and the words, the way in which the artist uses colour and the form of the book are also embedded in our discussion.
If I were to repeat this lesson, I will make more attempt to adapt this lesson unit for the lower progress pupils who are weaker in writing. Although I have been explicit to tell
pupils that writing even one sentence is suffice on each page, I think that it is an even higher order to be able to write concisely.
To value add to this lesson unit, I would think similar lessons can be done with both text and imagery so that pupils can learn how “images communicate social values and
be able to identify visual stereotypes” (Considine, 1986).
