So, in my desperate attempt to reach out to my students during this COVID-19 quarantine, I've created (drumroll) a brand new YouTube channel! Haha. I call it 3-Minute English: UPSR Tips and Techniques. Nothing fancy - just some awful recordings of my voice talking over some PowerPoint slides (which I aimed to do in not more than 3 minutes - hence the channel's name. But as evidenced by the videos' durations, it's clear that I've failed miserably). I wrote about how I ended up doing this unplanned project in my previous post where I reflected on digital technology and remote teaching.
The videos are horrible, but the slides are okay. They are at least usable. I decided to make them available for all my teacher friends, as they might be able to do much better things with these stuffs. Also, if I survive this pandemic, I might want to go back to this post in future. Just to look back and reminisce.
Okay, so here they are. I've made six videos on Reading Strategies. I'm sharing here the links to the videos, the related blog posts, and the download links to all the PowerPoint slides. Enjoy!

Okay that's it for now. If the virus doesn't get me, and if I'm still sane after a week, I'll try to share more materials from the project in another blog post. In the meantime, try to stay safe, healthy, and alive. Let's pray everything will return to normal soon, whatever 'normal' means.
Hang in there, -ccj
