Learning Log 4

I have learnt that teamwork is really important as working together with other people may result in a conflict of ideas and this is where teamwork comes in. Some of us have to compromise butDescription: Description: Link in the end, it's all for the best. Also, as my team members and I have different schedules, it was quite a challenge to pick a suitable date to meet up. But we managed in the end


I thought all the performances were really good but there are a few which stood out such as Melvin's group's performance. I though his voice was really witchy and that shows that he was really into the play. Also, I thought Rui Yun and Cindy's use of the make-up was really good. It really made them look like witches.

If my group were to be given another chance, I would definitely be more involved as I wasn't really the most co-operative member. Also, I would practice more with my group and get better costumes and props. I hope to better in the upcoming play

Learning Log 3

During the last lesson, Mrs Woo used her number selector to select the groups for the witches demonstration. I was quite happy with my group as my group members were people I knew I could work with.  I am quite excited as I have never done something like this before - acting as a witch and I am definitely looking forward to practicing with my group.

The lesson on Act 1, Scene 2 was a bit rushed as our class was behind time. I found the lesson interesting as Act 1 Scene 2 was mainly about when Macbeth was at war. I learnt that Macbeth was very brave. I also found that the weapons they used for the war very interesting as it is very different from what we use nowadays. I found that the original text was really hard to read. It is really different from the language we use today.

The group discussion on the comic grid was interesting as I heard other ways of summarising the story into one sentence. This is going to be quite a task for me as I am not the best in drawing but I hope to do my best as this assignment will be counted in our SA1. 



Learning Log 2

This week, we had our classmates act as the three witches from Macbeth. I thought Faisha totally rocked as her voice was really witchy. As for me, I need to figure out my witch voice and work on it. I think that it's a little nerve-wrecking when you're actually performing as the whole class is watching you and you're afraid that they might laugh but that was definitely NOT the case for me as I was laughing myself at my group's performance as for some strange reason, I found it absolutely hilarious. I definitely need to work on controlling my laughter. As for the other groups that performed, I thought they still weren't too sure of using their witch voice as they were embarrassed. I can't blame them as I felt the same way too. All in all, I think there's still room for improvement.

I thought the discussion on superstitions was really interesting as I heard of suerstitions I never knew existed such as ' step on a crack, break your mother's back '. There are many superstitions from different cultures and I'm really interested in them. When I got home that day, I googled some superstitions and found many new ones.

Today, a few of my classmates presented some of their superstitions and I learnt of many new superstitions. Not many people believe in superstitions but I do. I find them very interesting, especially when they're related to ghosts.

Learning Log 1

I have learnt that a Cinquain Poem is a short, five-lined poem. The first line states the title. The second line describes the title in two words. The third line states the actions of the title. The fourth line states your feelings for the title and the fifth line concludes the whole poem.

I thought the lesson was fun as we did group work. This gave us an opportunity to interact with one another and get to know our classmates better. We all had really different ideas so it was interesting listening to all of them.

I think having games will make our lessons more fun but without them is also fine. Since we're learning a new topic this year, it makes us all very interested.
