Habits of Minds (HOM) - Striving for Accuracy and Precision Cartoons
There are many things in life that requires precision. In certain jobs being precise is very important. For example an eye surgeon operating someone's eye. Being precise and accurate is also required of your school work.
To be precise and accurate means a requirement to constantly check your work and evaluate the contents for improvement. To reiterate the process until further effort to improve the work is no longer worth it. When you finish your homework, that is not the end. In fact, finishing your homework should be the beginning of the checking phase. To ensure you have the best possible answer within the time you are given.
Some students asked me: "Cher, what is Wendy's?" Well, if I drew MacDonald s, that would be too common. Wendy's is a pretty new fast food chain in Singapore.
Anyway, hope the cartoons will always be a good reminder for you to CHECK your work. =)

O Level Pre-Examination Briefing
Why should briefing slides always come with boring bullet points and pointless animations?
Shown below are examples of two slides with bullet points.
Sample Slide (a) Bullet Points:
- Report to school 30mins before paper starts.
- Call buddy immediately if he/she is still not in school.
- Called into hall 15mins before paper.
Sample Slide (b) Bullet Points:
- Check that you receive the correct exam paper.
- Borrowing of stationery is NOT allowed.
How exciting to be sitting through a briefing like this. Anyone can read notes.
Next, see what cartoons and illustrations can do to enhance communication...
