Trick or Treat, Junior One A

This morning, I had my junior one A, the advance English class. I made everyone came dressed up something scary. However, this group of students are very lady, so they did not wear something scary. Most of the costumes are very good. They are very creative. Some of them did not have money to buy the outfits, they just made one from the recycle papers. I thought that is very brilliant way of saving parents' money.

First, I introduced them what is Halloween. Some people really like and some of them did not even like. I think this tradition is not very Chinese tradition, it is more western tradition. As an ESL/ EFL teacher, I want my EFL students know what is the meaning of Halloween.

When I was a child, We had Halloween in Ecuador. I really dressed up in very scary thing and we did not go door to door to ask for candies. It is more like costume dance party and everyone chat and enjoyed it.

After introducing them about Halloween, we went for treat or trick. What is trick or treat? this is a very good question for some people who do not know Halloween. According to the phrase finder, trick or treat means: The ultimatum given by children who call on houses to solicit gifts at Hallowe'en. How can EFL student understand this meaning.

I want them to understand more and get into it. We went to trick or treat at Sheng-Kung's library. We are ready to go to the Library for trick or treat. Everyone are so happy, they show smiling faces. This might be the first time for them to have Halloween in their lifetime.

The Dean of library, Lily was welcoming everyone to her place.

Everyone had their best poses for picture taken. Lily prepared a lot of candies for everyone. Also, she chose three best costumes among them and She gave them a piece of chocolate as a price.

These students have their best costumes.

After trick or treat at the library, we decide to trick or treat at James, my co-worker, but first we want to take a group picture. Everyone show their best of everything.

Now, we are ready to go to the office for trick or treat. I made students to line up outside of my office and I went inside and called James. James was ready and he prepared a lot of candies for students.

I am taking a picture with my coworker, James. Everyone are so happy for having a lot of candies.

After all, it was so hot, the ring bells, the class is over. I brought my students to my classroom and I gave everyone candies. I can see from their faces, now, I believe they will know what is Halloween.
