Yesterday, I instructed my third year class to do a writing activity. Without them knowing what they will do, I asked them to cluster ideas about an object that they find amusing or that they find interesting. They have to describe or characterize that object. My second instruction was for them to write a name of any person who comes into their head or who they find interesting. Then, I asked them to write something about that person through the descriptions they made for the object.
PRESTO! One of them wrote something about... me:
Sir Jan
reminds me of the moon
daring a dark night, I find him
silent, inspiring, odd and weird.
I find him silent
in times of chaos and confusion
he is usually the last one to panic
he remains calm and stable
I also see him as inspiring
he always seems to have it
all figured out
he has smart answers for everything.
But I also see him
as weird and odd
he seems to be so different
from everybody
Like the moon
he gives light
in dark and confusing times
when we don't see clearly.
I am speechless.
Thanks, Jap.
