English Club Skoura, News In brief

Ezzaitoune English Club organises meetings occasionally on Saturdays, afternoon. Each meeting, I invite other teachers or people who are interested in the field to help. Mss. Hillary Lynn,the Peace Corps volunteer, Pr. Houssam Zrirak and Pr. Abdelkader Ghazali the main parteners.

The club aims to give a variety of activities in which students can express themselves and use what they have learnt in class.

These are not extra activities as some students call it. It is rather important, exactly as the grammar lessons they take in class. The necessity of these activities is due to the fact that the number of classes the students take per a week is not enough. Moreover, the number of students is large 45 in a class, which means that if we divide the 3 hours they study on the number of students, we will find that each student has 2 minute to talk in class regarding the Teacher Talking Time.

In the club we mainly focus to skills work like reading, listening, speaking. For this reason, we provide students with activities that can enrich and improve these skills.
For reading, I provide students with simplified short stories. They read them in groups and answer some comprehension questions then discuss the meanings with the teacher. After that, Students rehears their short stories in front of teachers.

Poor Little Puppies in skoura

Last week, I saw a very dangerous phenomenon in Skoura, a terrible event that shakes the heart. Two little puppies were killed in a horrible way. Their faces were broken by a sharp tool.

At first, I thought that this terrible massacre was done by a huge wild animal. But unfortunately, I discovered that it was by some little kids in a primary school. It was a way for entertaining themselves after school.

I never thought that little kids in Skoura find pleasure in killing little creatures like this. The problem is that nobody even asked about why?

Personally, I think that these kids should be punished for that crime because this is the absolute path of becoming future criminals. We have to cure this problem from now.

The Cultural Complex, Skoura

The complex is an educational and cultural space for young and old people in Skoura .This space is offered by the foundation of Mohamed 5 for solidarity.

During the school year, many activists organize activities in the building. There are cultural, artistic, educational and sport activities.

The building has many facilities. It consists of the office of the director, treasurer, room hall for the scenes, theatre hall, a room for languages and four latrines the wing. Sports stadium and there are one to two tanks first football and basketball for second.

Smoking Kids

.

Smoking is a dangerous phenomenon that threatens us, & we largely find it even in our school. We should fight it by making lows wish punish people who smoke. This phenomenon has many causes like:
O Family problems

ØBad friends

ØAudacity in front of friends

Ø Adolescences

ØPleasure

ØTry taking cigarette between fingers.

We can do a lot of thing to stop this phenomenon, like:

ØPresentation of its dangers
ØGood advice
ØIntroduce lessons about smoking
ØAt the end, forbid its trade.

I had a conversation with a smoker in my school and this is our brief discussion;

ABDOU : What do you hide between your fingers?
STUDENT : I hide a cigarette.
ABDOU : Why do you take it?
STUDENT : In the time when I take first cigarette, I was with bad friends.
ABDOU : What do you feel when you smoke?
STUDENT : I forget my problem
ABDOU : how many cigarettes do you take a day?
STUDENT : I take 6 or 8 cigarettes, because I don’t have enough money to buy a batch of cigarettes
ABDOU : where do you find money to buy it?
STUDENT : I sometime save money, or I take credit & I sometimes steal money from my dad’s pocket.
ABDOU : you see!! That makes you like a thief!
STUDENT : I hate the first day when I tried this.
ABDOU : You must give up smoking!!
STUDENT : Yes, but I can’t.
ABDOU : You have to be patient.
STUDENT : I will try.
ABDOU : See you later, I hope you give up smoking.
