On the third week of UOI 1, on 24th August 2015, we watched a movie titled "Forrest Gump". This movie tells the life of Forrest Gump, a man who has low IQ but has a good heart. He got bullied in his childhood as he used bracelet in his legs to help him walk. A girl helped him one day and they became best-friends from that day on. They grew together but started to split as they chose different path of life. It shows some stages of life, from childhood until late adulthood.

An article in Parents Indonesia shares a quite shocking information that nowadays, puberty hits girls and boys 6 months to 2 years earlier than a decade ago. This info sends us signal that we need to give knowledge about puberty before they seek it from unreliable sources. It is a good news that in Al-Jabr, this knowledge has been introduced in Grade 5, since the beginning of he semester.
It is undeniable that we change as we grow, but we rarely observe and document our growth and the changes happen in each stage. Meanwhile, in each stage, there are some needs that have to be achieved so that they have a good sense of self as they grow up. Thus, to increase the students' awareness about these changes and needs, we asked them to identify the stages of life by observing people around them.
Basically, they mentioned some stages like baby, kids, teenage and adult. Then, we introduced term like "infancy", "adolescent", "adulthood" etc. We also showed the following time-lapse video of a girl's growth, which shows physical development. |
