Show and tell

Juz came home on thur with a note from the teacher ... that he is due for a presentation on next Wed! Presentation? At his level? Well, apparently, his sch has adopted the American style of teaching and they are having SHOW and TELL session. SHOW and TELL is common in American schools where they will show their classmates an item from home or a topic and telling them why they choose this particular item and some relevant information about it and this is suppose to build up the kids public speaking skills (pls note being talkative vs ability to talk sense is two different thing).

So, he has two topics to choose from. One is to talk about his Favourite Sea Creature or to talk about his family. He has chosen to talk about his family and we are going to choose some pics for him to present and help him prepare his presentation pointers. The whole family is much involved, trying to choose the best pics and going through the points. So, i guess this is more than 'just' another task from school, it allows some bonding time via activities like this.
