今日看《琅琊榜》第14集，听到了一句很有意思的话，原来还有成语。#成语有的就是正常的
出处如下：
“故械数者，治之流也，非治之原也。君子者，治之原也。官人守数，君子养原，原清则流清，原浊则流浊。” 《荀子．君道》
君者民之源也，源清则流清，源浊则流浊。《韩诗外传．卷五》
学成语-源清流清
a tale from gotham city
one fine day, the principal of gotham high school frowned while looking at an exam script and asked the teacher, “how did this student end up in his final year in school, and yet failed his greek?”
“oh, but u are the one who promoted bruce at each level over the years?”
it is not well-known that batman studied greek in school, a compulsory subject in gotham city, but failed each year till his graduation year in gotham high school.
resistance is futile
it’s been a while since we revisited (the conception) of borg queen. as a novice, the first time i encountered the borg queen is in the classic movie – First Contact – which i have watched countless times.
oh yes, just to add another (my) #qotd that comes to mind:
“If it appears in shows, TV, movie, internet, or otherwise, it happens in the real world (with 99% confidence interval).”
(Tan, 2021)
that’s all for now (:
music …
today is the last CCA day for my YI Band students (and teachers as well) as we are graduating the last batch of students from bukit batok campus. “said a few words” to the students, and this is what i shared with them:
Music enables us to forge friendship lifelong.
(Tan, 2021)
received this set of notes from the students, and am glad to have forged lifelong friendship with them too (students now, but friends in 8 mths’ time).
LEGO与论说文的启示: an object lesson
this is my first ever ‘object lesson’, and it’s about the lessons LEGO (bricks) can bring to argumentative writing (论说文 aka 议论文).
things needed for the lesson:
1. 5x LEGO bricks per student; any colour except RED; ideally of different size and/or length
2. 2x RED bricks per student
3. recently completed student essays
4. a model essay (can be a student’s work)
students are given 2 minutes to freely create a 5-brick structure using the given LEGO bricks.
and the 启示 are: #4IdeaImprovement
- LEGO有长有短：各段落有长有短，各段内容的量可能不同（e.g. 例子的了解、把握度）
- （越）大块的LEGO：（越）有分量的段落内容
- 分开的LEGO块 ：（零散的）内容（cf. 篇）
- 连在一起的LEGO块与块：议论文中的各段与段（开头+分论点一至三+结尾）
- LEGO块与块之间的稳固联系何来？突起的不起眼的”connectors” （即顺序副词）
- 当LEGO块多的时候，只看得见的是吸睛的头尾红色bricks（即开头段写得好的重要性；结尾的红起首尾呼应之效）
that’s all for now (:
