This is a General Studies lesson on the theme of ¡¥My Home¡¦. The lesson is based on a textbook activity in which the pupils were asked to place furniture into the overall floor plan of a flat. In this lesson, each small group had been asked to concentrate on furnishing one room. The teacher explains the function of each room.

(Facilitators may find it helpful to identify this lesson, as it is provided in one of the mainstream textbooks used in Hong Kong . )

 
       
   
   

In viewing this video, pay particular attention to the content of what is being learnt, rather than the approach used to teach it. The teaching approach is clearly capturing the attention of the pupils, but:

  • Is the lesson content really worth learning?
  • Is it appropriate content, or is it rather controversial, given the range of homes pupils come from in Hong Kong ?
