We were having fire drill last week. Before this, Mr Row was giving instruction during the Weekly Assembly on Monday. His instruction was very clear. " Keep calm, zip-your mouth--keep quiet, move as fast as possible." Short & clear! We shouldn't have problem to meet the target set. Most of the students as well as teachers and all move quite fast but still there were some didn't listen to the instruction given.
It's just the same like our lesson--coursework & cooking lessons. We ask students to listen carefully, follow instructions given, keep to the time (time managment). For those who listen carefully, they do their work well. There was always a handful of students who didn't listen to instructions given so they didn't meet the target expected. Luckily most of them willing to listen to instruction.
Of course, we want students to be creative, to be flexible as well.
