In October, English Teaching Assistant Jason Yan kicked off teaching with an Analytical Exposition lesson for the 11th graders at SMK Krian 2 Sidoarjo, a topic that emphasizes the importance of being able to form and support an argument in English.

To make this lesson more engaging, Jason incorporated an activity that got the students moving, a relay race of sorts for groups of students to compete in rearranging a scrambled argumentative text as well as answering questions about the information. This created a lively and fun, while competitive, atmosphere in the classroom where students were invigorated by the desire to be the first to finish.

By the end of the class periods, the students were both well versed in analytical exposition and winded from running to and from their desks. Overall, it was a fun and interactive activity that many students echoed was enjoyable and constructive.

Jason Yan is currently teaching at SMK Krian 2 Sidoarjo, Jawa Timur.
