How can we encourage students to think out of the box in the face of challenging situations? Using excerpts from author Ho Lee-Ling’s books such as Samsui GirlGasing BoyWayang Girl and Coolie Boys, students will reflect on personal experiences and apply creative problem-solving skills to tackle issues like bad habits, anxiety and bullying. Through guided discussions and activities, students will express themselves by crafting their own short stories, letters, poems, and comics, fostering both empathy and creativity.
