This is a great show to talk about history! Fighting Spiders is about growing up in Singapore during the 1960s. My relief classes never fail to be riveted. They get pretty bored when the plot focuses on the parent and child relationships, but the funny moments capturing the boys' playing antics are always the most popular.When I tell them that the things they saw in the show really did happened, and bring their attention to the use of water basins (Sanitation system, water rationing), sitting on the road (Entrepreneurship), triads (Colonial governance, youth crimes, syndicates), and even the food the boys eat with their families (meritocracy), the students' eyes grow bigger! LOL! I love young minds.
