Most of the actors didnt memorized their lines . i am getting worried about the performance . As most of the actors in my group does not cooperate well . While the actors are acting, director,set decorators & wardrobe designers was to sit infront of the stage and watch the group's rehearsal . They were told to write down their feedback on a piece of paper , and the feedback is to be shared after the rehearsal is finished . Most of my feedback was positive . Which is my voice is loud enough,there is eye contact ..

After the 10 mins , we were told to settle down and give our overall feedback to the whole class . Most of our feedback used little thinking skills . After hearing a few feedbacks, Mr Chua showed the actors "Romeos & Juliets " how to fake kiss , mr chua choose Daryl as his demonstrator.. It was really awkward for Daryl but funny for us

It was humorous as Mr Chua read the lines of Min, Shang & Sung . We kept laughing when Mr Chua tried change his voice from a low pitch to a higher pitch .. My classmate and i enjoyed the lesson so much .. As the lesson was about to end, Mr Chua reminded the Actors to memorise their lines .. i am getting so scared, performance is getting so close

Today Mr chua had not discussed about AYLT but he showed videos of the plays done by sec 2 during 2009 .The first play was about Venice of Merchant. The play was okay but i could hear the voices of the characters .The next play was Romeo & Juliet . The way they did the play was interesting , but i could hardly hear their voices . But the play was acceptable as they did not took the debating workshops like we did .

Mr Chua said that we were going to do a rehearsal soon .. I hope my group would co - operate with each other and come for meetings and practise ..

Term 3 week 4



we continued with the Literature lesson . Mr Tyrus asked questions again . Its like a routine of his. I was prepared to be called but i guess i was lucky because i wasn't called to answer his questions . All of Mr Tyrus quetions seems logic if you had not read the text but had understand what Mr Tyrus lesson you might be able to answer most of the question .

Term 3 week 3 :

Monday :




Mr Chua arrived on time for lesson as usual . about older Elvis . He continued the lesson about " Are you lonesome tonight ?" He went through the scene 1 of " Are you lonesome tonight . " Mr chua asked us afew Questions of the meaning of a few words in the text . Mr Chua asked this question which i thought it was really really hard : why do you think Redhead is called Redhead ?



what i thought Redhead is called Redhead maybe because of her hair is red, or maybe that Redhead is not an imporatant person to elvis so he don't even bother to remember her name, or maybe Redhead is described by her personality which is short tempered .







thursday :







We then studied about AYLT scence 2 . About younger Elvis Presley . but before that Mr Tyrus asked question about what will learnt so far . Example, what is Elvis's Brother's name ? etc ..We were given a worksheet on the scenes that we have gone through .











This is a picture of Elvis Presley when he was older ..

Term 3 week 2

Term 3 week 2

There is no Literature lesson on Monday because of Youth Day .

Wednesday
We learn about Elvis Presly .we learn that he is popular . But died because of overdose of drugs. I read the text about " Are you lonesome tonight ." My conclusion of " Are you lonsome tonight " are as the followings : i think Elvis Presley took drugs because maybe because his career just took off and he had been pressurized by his friends or family. Another reason why he took drugs maybe because all of his family members left him, and he is al alone with nobody . The People that left him are the most closest to him, they are his mother, Gladys , his wife ,his daughter, Marie and his brother, Jesse.
We were told to write on a fodscap about what we know about him ..

Then Mr chua wanted to us a video of Elvis Presley but cannot because someone off the audio just for fun . Mr Chua was furious .. We ended the lesson like that .We had no time to watch the video as the bell had rung.

This week we had a drama class. We had to volunteer ourselves. Ms Malyana gave us a scenario about robbery, the volunteers were told to act out a scene where they had to go into a house and steal something heavy.After that scenario, we had to create a moving picture.

The pupils cannot talk, the moving picture is like a silent movie The volunteers was creative and they did quite a good job in making the moving picture.Ms Maly add a few more students inside the 'the silent movie'. From a movie that is about traveler inside the jungle the 'the silent movie turned into a fairy tale where trees can walk. The whole story was very funny.

After finishing the moving picture, Ms Maly told us to get back to our sits and she gave us a small little piece of paper. We were told to write a feedback on what we had learnt and what we want to learn.

FRIDAY

We had no lessons because it is a public holiday ( Good Friday ). But still i have to type about something that is related to Literature. No School

Do you know that one of the earliest known literary works is the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem dated around 2100 B.C., which deals with themes of heroism, friendship, loss, and the quest for eternal life. Different historical periods have emphasized various characteristics of literature. Early works often had an overt or covert religious or didactic purpose. Moralizing or prescriptive literature stems from such sources.The exotic nature of romance flourished from the Middle Ages onwards, whereas the Age of Reason manufactured nationalistic epics and philosophical tracts. Romanticism emphasized the popular folk literature and emotive involvement, but gave way in the 19th-century West to a phase of realism and naturalism, investigations into what is real. The 20th century brought demands for symbolism or psychological insight in the delineation and development of character.

This week we had our Common test papers back. After a few minutes of going through the papers. We were told to put our things aside and push the tables and chairs to the side of the classroom. Ms Malyana told us to spread ourselves around the space in the middle of the classroom. She told us to close our eyes and imagine walking.
There are a variety of walking , heavy steps, light steps etc.
Ms Malyana told us to walk in different speed . At first, walk at the speed of 1 then 2 and till the speed of 7. Then, she told us to create a group. The group has to be multi-racial. My group consist of two Malays and a Chinese. They are Zaimah, myself and Hong Rong. Ms Malyana said that we will have to perform the story about Macbeth. The performance was sheduled on the 9th of April on Friday.Its like 3 weeks from now. We had to create the costume and props by ourselves. This teaches us to be independent.

this week we learn about the topic on LOVE. We were given a paper and make the paper into a brochure. We had to create a name for our brochure. My brochure name was " A Another Love Story" Then we had to asked 5 girls and 5 boys what qualities their future partners must have . Out of the qualities i have asked my friends, the most essential for me is Honesty. We need honest because if we are not honest to each of our partner, the other partner may not believe in what we are doing now.

Also according to greeks LOVE is ...

EROS ,
passonate love or longing

PHILA ,
brotherhood & frienship . Involves loyalty to friends,family and community

AGAPE ,
a divine, unconditional & self - sacrificing affection . The highest & purest form of LOVE .

Our holiday homework was to to write a love poem for our loved one, write down my favourite love song lyrics and also interview an married adult and ask them what is necessary for a loving and successful marriage .

Term 1 week 9

Term 1 week 9



on monday we learnt about a shakespeare's sonnet :



Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate:Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer's lease hath all too short a date:Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimmed;And every fair from fair sometimes declines,By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;But thy eternal summer shall not fade,Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

My guess this sonnet is about a girl



on wednesday we had a Literature remedial we were group into a group six. The group consists of pupils from 2 Thinking and 2 Dynamic . I think it is good to be group from a mix of pupils because we will learn how to work with people who we don't know .

On Friday, we were brought to somewhere in school ,and had to partner someone and asked them question we had made on the Literature remedial on wednesday . i thought the ideal of questioning people is great its like an interview .

Term 1 week 8

This we we had three lesson .

First lesson was on Romeo and Juliet . We were group into two . We had to do a mind - map about the character traits of the characters in Romeo and Juliet . My partner and i had to a mind - map on Romeo . The character traits we found was eloquent,intelligent,charming and gentleman. My partner and i work together very well . We take turns drawing and writing.

Second lesson we elobrated on the the 'what is mercy' . One of the people of each religion was told to read out what they wrote about how their god is merciful .

A Buddhist example of God's :

Let thousand of people receive the light of mercifulness
Let thousand of people bathe in great grace of human
Let thousand of people transend from the sea of suffering
Do not compare with others ,
Do not compete with others .
Establish a right of objective
Do not hesitate and do not hinder yourself .
Accept the suffering and live with the sufferings

A Christian example of God's mercy :

God loves someone .No matter how many times someone sins against him,he gives us chances . For his glory and mercy endures forever . A love that outdoes wrong and a love that covers multiples of sin .

A Hindu example of God's mercy :

Hindus believe in reincarnation and karma. Hindus are exepected merciful like Brahma,who is himself merciful.

A Muslim example of God's mercy :

Allah lets us repent our sins as long as we pray to him and beg for forgiveness through our daily prayers .

This lesson is very important because if we do not respect other religion or races, racial riot and civil wars might start.

The third lesson was that we were group into a grou[ of two and were brought to the movers and shakers . we were given a piece of paper and was told to answer all the answers . My partner and i worked together very well we don't squable over minor problems

term 1 week 7



this week we learn about the Qualities of mercy .



this week we were asked if it right for Shylock to kill Antonio ?

In my opinion, Shylock was not right to kill Antonio because in every religion thier god / gods teach them to be forgiving and to have patience .if Antonio insulted Sylock's religion , Shylock should have walk away. if he had stayed there would possibly have a racial riot .



we were also asked if was it right for the court to say that Shylock must not be a Jew and must be a Christian ?

In my opinion , the court was not right to force Shylock to be a Christian . As everyone has the right to believe in what they want to believe in.If Shylock wants to be a Jewish no one can stop him in believing in .

term 1 weeh 6


Term 1 week 6

This week we learn about whether Antonio or Shylock is the good guy or the bad guy .
The question in the worksheet was :

"Do you think Shylock is right to demand to murder Antonio ? "

My answer was yes . Shylock is right to demand murder Antonio because Antonio is not able to repay his debt, and the bond Shylock wrote clearly said that he is allowed to cut one pound flesh of Antonio if Antonio does not pay his debt.
In real if you do not pay your debt to the loanshark . They will do anything to harm you.

Example , harm your family members and make you feel embarassed .They make you feel embarassed by vandilising your house .
