July

July aka Term 3 has never been a fantastic time for most teachers, especially Mother Tongue teachers, as so many events happen in July.

Early July: 'O' Level Mother Tongue Oral Exams
Preparations for Metamorphosis (2007 only)
Setting of Common Test 2
Mid July: 'N' Level Mother Tongue Oral Exams
Preparations for Racial Harmony Day
Preparations for National Day/Annual Awards
Preparations for Sec 2 Subject Selection Exercise
Late July: Setting of SA 2
English Oral Exams

Fortunately, I'm not involved in Oral Exmas this year, else I wouldn't know how to pull through this period of time. Now that I'm nursing a sore throat and a blocked/runny nose, July is less likeable to me...
