What are you interested in?

The topic for this week’s lesson is ‘interests’. You may or may not know, but I prepare one lesson and teach it fourteen times for the week. (Thank God I am one of those persons who don’t mind repetition. In fact the repeat button on any CD player is my favourite because I will listen to one song a million times and I still don’t get tired of it) So in this class the students are supposed to draw something to show what they are interested in. After, everyone is supposed to guess what that thing of interest is. Simple enough. But before they do the guessing game I usually walk around to ask "What are you interested in?"to get them to speak in english, but also to make sure that I know the right answer (teacher cyan look like claffy – no sah.)

Without a doubt I know that the boys going to draw some sort of ball- baseball, basket ball, foot ball, tennis ball etc. But I go to this one boy’s desk and he has a picture of a face. This one throw me now cause it isn’t a easy guess. So I ask him “What is this?” He says, “you” so I say “Oh, how sweet!! You drew a picture of Maria. Ok show me the picture of what you are interested in.’ Hear the pickney nuh “I am interested in you, Maria.’ Of course I just burs’ out into a big laugh cause whoever spread the rumour of the shy Japanese student definitely missed this one. Anyway,I hope is just interested in Maria from a cultural perspective - LOL
