Teaching Perks

Resort in the Rainforest

One of the joys of working at ISKL is getting the opportunity to go as a chaperone on student trips. This weekend I went on the IB Anthropology Field Trip. Thirty-one students and four teachers went to Terak Besa for the students to learn about the Semelai people. They are indigenous people who live along the banks and surrounding forest of a wetlands called Tesak Bera. ISKL students visited the local school and interviewed students. They explored the rainforest and village.-- Nancy
We took a boat ride through the wetlands, did the traditional dances, tried weaving, saw rubber being harvested, and the students had to study some. The students also acted out myths of the Semelai People which made for lots of laughs.
