The Diary Game: A witness to moi moi making in food and nutrition class (11/6/2024)

INTRODUCTION

Good evening from Nigeria, dear members of Steem kids and parents, I hope everyone is doing well. There are things that even when taught, without practical, one can't understand it well, and today made me realize that practical teaching is very relevant apart from the theoretical. I witnessed the killing and dressing of chicken today and making of moi moi in today's food and nutrition class in school and I'm here to share how the whole day in school went, so sit back and relax, let the pictures do the talking.

MORNING ACTIVITIES

On a normal school day like today, I usually wake up by 5:30am, and I said my prayers and prepared for school. As a teacher and a role model, I'm supposed to be early to school. In the morning hours, there was morning devotion and the children thereafter dismissed to their various classes where they were taught various subjects. When my colleague told me they would have food and nutrition class, and told me what will be taught today will be practical based, I indicated interest since I had never seen chicken killed and dressed before.

The students were asked to kneel for a while when they caused an uproar in class.

AFTERNOON ACTIVITIES

After break, it was time for the food and nutrition class. The subject teacher went and purchased the chicken and the students had contributed money for the ingredients needed for moi moi making and for the chicken. Then they started by butchering the chicken and dressing it, while the subject teacher divided the chicken and also showed them what the different organs in the chicken was called and what it was meant for. I really learnt a lot tho I was a teacher not a student. After that, they prepared moi moi from the beans they had grinded, and after steaming the chicken, they put it in the moi moi they were cooking. The class that participated in the cooking was SS1 and ss2 class.

After the cooking session, we had a little seminar organized by the principal of the school and which addressed teaching methods and classroom management. We had to learn different ways of teaching to accommodate the bright students, average students and the dull students. We also learnt how to manage the class and get every students attention.
