Dear reader,
Happy National Day!
Recently, my peers had complimented me on the well-organised parades during the St John day and the National Day observance in school. Actually it was more the students' effort than mine. The only issue was to get the students to be responsible for running the parade. Here are some tips:
1) Explain the importance of a parade
To me this is the most important step. If the students see the parade as a chore, rather than a meaningful activity, they would do a mediocre job of it.
2) Divide the parade into sections, and make various students in charge of it
For instance, I divided the parade into flag-raisers, marching contingent and commanders. This gave me opportunities to give the students many leadership positions.
Hope this help!
