Learning Log 4

Macbeth witches, was one tough job to act. This witches were in act 1 scene 1 and me along with my group mates, jia yi(quiet one) and sanjna(Justin bieber freak) had to act it out. Also, we had no time to make the props and no time at all to rehearse as all of us were heavily involved in something else. Also, even though we had no time, but we still try to meet up to make the props. On the day itself, I was amazed by the other groups performance and were stunningly great. Especially Justin and Phania group where the did something spectacular. For my group, we use umbrella as walking stick, so in order to add more colour, I painted my whole face white and drew lip stick all over my face to make my fact more stand out. We also use witch voices and try to make it more humorous. Also, we had little time to do our props so, we just had to whatever we can with the props.

           Points for improvement, I think we could add more colours to the umbrella. We should also have time to practice to perfect our lines and actions, but not last minute ones as they tend to tense us up.

          Honestly, I think that it would be better if Mrs Woo were able to get a triple period together and not split them up as it would be more convenient. Overall, I found this lesson very interesting and enjoyable and I hope for more enjoyable lessons to come! :D

The lesson about the prediction was one that was very funny. So, we got divided into teams of 4. So, after that we shared our ideas and after that we chose Phania’s idea as it is more easy to explain and more realistic as all of our other ideas were not easy to explain. Then, when Mrs. Woo opened her number selector, I saw yellow, red, green, and blue on each of the numbers. So, I got bored and I said that why not we do not use numbers that have been assigned to us earlier and instead use colours, and my group mates all agreed. So, each of us chose a colour.  One of my group members, Mui Siew said since she wore blue for Chinese New Year, she will choose blue and she did chose blue. I, seeing that she was so eager to choose blue, so I sort of ‘predicted’ that she will be chosen to explain to the whole class and after the number selector selected the colour, blue was chosen to present and my little ‘prediction’ was correct. Then, one classmate from each group went up stage to explain what their story is.  There were a total of 10 stories and some were funny but some were very scary like the old lady which Hui Min said to be able to predict the future. But still, like I was before the lesson, I still do not believe in predictions even though I predicted which colour would be played on the number selector. Overall, the lesson was very exciting and fun and I wished that in the future, we would continue having such fun and exciting lessons.

I found it interesting to hear and comment about some of the funny superstition that our classmate have found. We were split into groups and then we had to share the superstitions we found after checking the Internet and we laughed at one another’s work. I found a superstition saying that if you eat a Pao and a dumpling in the correct order, you will get your target. And when my classmates went to the front and discuss about the superstitions they found, I couldn’t help but to laugh out heartily.  Some of the superstitions were so funny.  To me, I do not really believe in superstitions but sometimes we are forced by the elderlies to believe in superstition. Next, I will move on to the part about the Macbeth. It was really a joy to see some of our classmate go up to act in front of the classes about the Macbeth Part 1 Scene 1 which is really funny as it trains our speaking skills. At first, when I heard the word Macbeth, I wasn’t actually expecting witches to be in the play as the word Macbeth doesn’t seem to have any link with three witches, but even though the witches did came out in surprise to me and I need to go up to act as one of the witches, I still enjoyed the lesson.

Basically, I have no comments about the lessons as it was really fun, I just hope lesson keep being like this as it is fun and enjoyable while being able to learn something from it.

I just hope that the teacher could use more of the number selector as it really is fun keeping us in suspense to see if which lucky person will go out and present on their work. It is really a joy to have the number selector selecting about our index number.

I have learn that cinquain is a poem which is made up of five lines and each line can only have a specific word capacity. The first line is the title which is the title of your cinquain then followed by the second line which is to describe the title which two words. The rule of the third line is to have three verb ending with a -ing at the back. The rule of the fourth line is to discuss about the feelings you shared for the title which four words only and finally the last word is to have an overall reaction about the title.  Cinquain is really a very fun and exciting thing to do as when you are bored you can just create your own cinquain easily.

It was very exciting and it was a group work so we can all share different views and have fun joining and creating words to form lines after lines. It was a really great experience for me.

 I think that the teachers should give us more examples as the one on skateboard is quite little as it’s the only one and I also encourage more time given so that we can make our cinquain more perfect .
