Module 1 (First Session)

Date: 21st January 2011

Time: 3:00-5:30 pm

Venue: Surau Nur Al-Falah SMK Sungai Pusu

Participants: 3 Excel SMK Sungai Pusu

          We arrived at Surau Nur Al-Falah SMK Sungai Pusu at around 2:30pm and with the help of Pn Faridah, we set up the PA system for the session.

          While waiting for all the participants to arrive, we had a small chat with the participants. We started the first session at 3:00 pm with the introduction of the chief facilitator and the group facilitators. Before moving on with the module, all participants were handed out a scale and they need to answered it. 

           Then we started the ice breaking session through some games. Although the participants are from the same class but some of them do not know each other due to previous class differences. So, it’s a good opportunity for them to get to know each other and it benefit for this program as well.

          After the ice breaking session ended, we move on to group formation. We had previously form 5 groups based on their list name. It is to avoid the participants from forming group based on their friends, as we want them to mingle and get to know everyone in their class. After assigning the facilitators to each group, we move on to the next activity which is FAN. 

          In this activity, each participants need to create a fan from paper and write their name on it. They then need to pass the fan to their group members and they need to write their first impression of the person. After they had finished writing, each of them need to read what others wrote about them and they need to mention which of the characteristics that they agree and disagree and the justifications. This session is conducted in English. Later on, the facilitators also ask few questions to see how they respond in English. 

        Next, we proceed to the next activity which is forming group names, select the leader and forming the trademarks of the group. After they had finished with the discussions, they need to present their trademarks to the rest of the students. 


        The last activity for the first session was the poison box and the situational dialog. They form a big circle and the poison box is being passed around and when the music stop, the particular student need to select a paper from the box and she/he needed to role play the situational dialog.
