After finishing discussion with the school director, our team takes the banners of human trafficking and flags of our project to install in front of classes and then all educators brought the flip charts and materials for teach into the class that the school director divided.
When the educators entered the classes, they helped to organize the seating for students look tidy and look good performance during teaching, then we started our teaching activities based on our teaching plans. First of all, they introduced themselves, our founder, projects, and departments in CRST’s NGO to let students know more about our CRST. They also wrote the CRST and Project G page on the whiteboard for students to get more information about our NGO through Facebook page. Next, we started doing the pre-test evaluations of girl and boy classes. We spent twenty minutes to do on it for the classes that response on evaluation. Then we went through to teach the lesson. All students were pay attention with all educators and had some questions, they don’t know before asked to educator and they were clear about it after the educator explained to them. The girl educators showed kits and told them how to use it. Next, educator called a student walk up to the front to practice how to use kits and explain to all friends about to use it. Looking they knew about how to use kits and don’t have any questions the educators finished the part one; we have time to breaks for eating snacks. The operations contributor and have our educators available help to bring the snacks to the classes for students; we would not forget to tell them to clean their hands before eating snacks and we prepared snack for teachers the same.
During that time, it seemed a lot of students were have energy after eating snack, they had some questions for asked the educators, the break time was up until the second section started. They were brave and confident enough to ask questions related to our lesson, about their health and more information about human trafficking. Went into each class, and we saw that most of the students were involved and happy to learn from PG. They felt confident and comfortable, so that is what we want they are willing to learn and have asking questions, having discussions, and answering the quick questions from the point by point the educator asked. So the end of the teaching section we have to do Post-Test evaluation spent twenty minutes, after they finished do evaluation in girl classes the educators provided kits to all girl students, after we touch the lessons hope they enjoyed what we shared with them and will pass on this lesson to their family and friendsand taken photos with all students.
