PMR 2006

More and more animals are surrendered to Zoo Negara. Sometimes,

the animals are abandoned at the gates.

Zoo Negara accepts the animals for humane reasons but the dumping ofthese animals poses management problems for the MalaysianZoological Society. The dumping of animals here has grown

tremendously.Most of these animals are those commonly kept as pets.

Some animals arrive at the zoo ill and malnourished. Feeding and

handling them incur costs. They might even bring diseases and infect otheranimals. The animals are quarantined for three months before they can go

into enclosures or cages, where they are treated for any diseases. As such,they take up the limited quarantine space the zoo has.

Zoo Negara is unable to keep all the animals dropped at its doorstep.

Thus, they are given away to other zoos. Primates, such as monkeys, arereleased into the forests as they attack each other in shared enclosures.

The zoo does not accept species listed under the Convention onInternational Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) for fear of illegal origins.

However, as some of these animals are just left at the zoo, the managementhas no choice but to take them in.

(Adapted from The Star, 2005)

The tranquility and beauty of Sedim River, Kedah.(Source of picture:http://www.asiaexplorers.com/malaysia/sungai_sedim.htm )

Introduction

The River is one of the new literature components for the English subject.

The poem is written by Valerie Bloom. The Form One students in the year2010 have started exploring and learning this new poem.

Synopsis of the poem

The Riveris about the many faces of a river. The river is a wanderer wherehe moves all over the place. He does not sit still and is always in motion.

He is also a winder where he twists and turns. He meanders. He is also ahoarder where he keeps things deep down in his river bed. Sometimes,

he is a baby when he is happily flowing along. At times, he is a singer as

seen through the happy sounds of the water. Finally, he is also a monsterand can devour trees (most probably referring to a flood).

How I went about teaching the poem

I remembered teaching this poem to my first formers last year during mypracticum.

I began my lesson by showing students a few pictures of clean rivers from a

PowerPoint slide:

Relau River, Pahang(Source of Picture:http://www.impression.com.my/Tahan/gunung_tahan.htm )

Then, I asked and discussed the following questions with students:

1. What can you see from these pictures? (Anticipated answer: They arethe pictures of rivers)

2. How do the rivers look like? (Anticipated answer: The rivers are clean)

3. How do you feel when you see these pictures? (Anticipated answers:calm/relaxed/happy/peaceful/etc.)

4. Why do you feel calm/relaxed/happy/peaceful/etc? (Anticipatedanswers: The rivers are clean and beautiful/ There are no rubbish inthe rivers / It is great to have a picnic with our family beside the

river/etc.)

Next, I showed students a few pictures of dirty rivers:

Pinang River, Pulang Pinang(Source of Picture:http://www.malaysiazoom.com/utara-sungai-darah-babi/ )

Then, I asked and discussed the same question with students:

1. How do the rivers look like? (Anticipated answer: The rivers are

dirty/polluted)2. How do you feel when you see these pictures? (Anticipated answers: I

feel sick/sad/angry/disgusted/etc.)3. Why do you feel sick/sad/angry/disgusted/etc? (Anticipated answers:

People don't take care of the rivers' cleanliness/ All marine life will die/

The clean water source will deplete / etc.)

I related the above activities by telling students that they were going tolearn a poem entitled "The River" by Valerie Bloom. The poem consists of 6

stanzas.

The rivers a wanderer,A nomad, a tramp.

He doesn't choose any one placeTo set up his camp.

The rivers a winder,Through valley and hillHe twists and he turns,He just cannot be still.

The rivers a hoarder,

And he buries down deep

Those little treasuresThat he wants to keep.

The rivers a baby,

He gurgles and hums,And sounds like hes happily

Sucking his thumbs.

The rivers a singer,As he dances along,

The countryside echoesThe notes of his song.

The rivers a monster,Hungry and vexed,

Hes gobbled up treesAnd hell swallow you next.

First, I modeled the recitation of the poem. This is an important step to allowstudents to hear how a poem is read with the correct pronunciation and

enunciation. I read aloud the poem by playing a background music byKitaro's Silk Road. The music is not only calming to hear but also sets the

mood and suits the title of the poem. Watch the following video to hear themusic:

After modeling the recitation of the poem, I instructed students to choral

read the poem. I normally ask students to take turn reciting the poem. For

7/29/2019 tips pmr

8/16

example, the girls will read the first stanza, then the boys will read the

second stanza, and they will take turn until all stanzas are read.

Next, I asked students to form six groups. Each group comprised of 5 or 6students. The lower forms classes in my school normally comprise about 40

students. So, it is quite difficult to get students to form and work in smallergroups. Subsequently, students in groups used the dictionaries to find the

meaning of unfamiliar words:

Group 1 - wanderer, nomad, tramp (words from stanza 1)Group 2 - winder, valley, twists (words from stanza 2)

Group 3 - hoarder, buries, treasures (words from stanza 3)

Group 4 and 5 - gurgles, hums, echoes (words from stanzas 4 and 5)Group 6 - monster, vexed, gobbled (words from stanzas 6)

I used theThe River_Unfamiliar Words_Meaninghandoutsin the classroom.

Later, as homework, students may cut and paste the words and theirrespective meaning side by side in their Literature Exercise Book. After

finding the meaning of words, we shared the answers with the whole class.

Next, I explained the meaning of the poem from the PowerPoint slides that Ihad prepared. The slides have been converted into a video format. So,

anyone can watch and use this video in their lesson.
