My reflection

I want to say about "irrelevance" that in the paper professoer gave us about two weeks ago.
These days,  I'm teaching public elementary school first and second grade students.
In the class, I try to prepare very hard and try to communicate with my SS.
But, ^^; , second grade ss are usually can't focus on my class.
My class has a once a week, and my co-teacher and me start from greeting with question
"What dd you do last weekend?"  then Ss really want to say about what they were doing.
I 've never seen before Ss's great participation.
After I prepared a storytelling "Cinderella dressed in Yellow" from Learn to read.
I made many vocabulary with picture considering tactile ability , even I was woring a Yellow
dress ,and crown for kids interesting. and I made a chant with drum. I recorded that chant.
I tried to do my storytelling at my best. But They are really hard to focus and particepate my lesson.
So, I wonder about my lesson. Is there any problem in my lesson.
They are really enjoy just one question " What did you do last weekend?"
and they wanna say in English, and learn English.
From last class's paper, I realize that isn't it relevance issue?
YL is really egocentric, so they really try to express themselves to the ss.
I think "Communicate" is really inportant even YL.

Seoul bans fur in Fendi fashion show

Fendi, Fall 2008 Collection

SEOUL, May 16, 2011 (AFP) - South Korea's capital city has told Italian fashion house Fendi to remove all fur items from a show of its fall/winter collection due to complaints from animal rights groups, officials said Monday.

"We have received complaints from animal rights activists and saw negative public opinion on the Internet... we can't let such a controversial thing be staged at a public property," a spokesman for the city government told AFP.

Fendi has scheduled the show on June 2 at a newly-built floating island on the Han River, which the city wants to promote as a landmark.

The Italian firm said city officials last week threatened to cancel the event unless all fur items were removed from the catwalk.

Fendi described the short notice as "difficult to understand... in light of the months of preparation and cooperation" leading up to the event.

"I'm surprised to learn of Seoul city's decision to possibly cancel the event if Fendi does not remove all fur pieces just two weeks before the event,"

Fendi CEO Michael Burke said in a statement Sunday night.

The company, however, said it would continue to negotiate with city officials in the hope of holding the show as planned.

City officials said negotiations were still under way to hold the show, at which Fendi planned to present 40 pieces from its fall/winter collection including 20 fur items.

"This is the first time for us to hold a fashion show on city property so we knew little about how things like this work," a Seoul city official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

"The show has not been cancelled yet... we are still working on it."

Fendi said more than 1,200 guests including foreign and Korean celebrities, global media and cultural and fashion leaders were scheduled to attend.
