Our class (2 CMT) did our acting of Macbeth Act 1 Scene 1 on the three witches on (13/04). I was accompanied by my group members, Shadleen and of course, Jasmine.I was appointed as the second witch.
Before the day of the acting of Macbeth, Mrs. Woo told our class the marking criteria of the performance. 30 marks was the highest mark one could get. 10 marks for individual acting, 10 marks for props and another 10 marks for costumes. Even though my group has the intetion of doing well for the act, it did not turn as well as what we wanted to. Even for the much time we had to prepare for the performance, our group did not prepare well. Honestly, most of the things doned was last-minute. We did not rehersal together before, given that we were mostly busy, either because of the different CCAs we had and of course the homework and tests we had to complete and revise for. We did not prepare really well for the props as we did not really have an idea of what we should do. It was such a performance which did all of us, utterly devastated and not to forget, disappointed. I was even shocked of what we did on that day. The group which let me mostly unforgetable was Sanjna group. It was really an 'thumbs up' performance.
Hopefully, the act for Romeo and Juliet would not repeat what had happened itself.

Learning Log 3
On today [7/2/11] lesson, it was fun and eventful as we get to gather in our groups. My group members includes Jing Yan, Fatimah, Calisa and Jia Ying. Mrs Woo assigned all groups to write or create a story about somebody whom told you something and it came true.
As neither of my group members did experience such a thing, we create an imaginary story about a car accident. It started from an old lady whom sat beside 'me' in the bus, and as the bus was quite empty, it created the spooky ambience with the old lady talking to 'me'. As what she had told me/predicted, 'my ' sister had died. Althought our story was simple, our group did took much time brainstorming the 'extraordinary' story.
Other groups like Dawn's group, whereby his friend predicted that his dad would be involved in an accident on the way to KL and after on having his car scratched by stones, I thought things like maybe his friend was the mastermind of all this[LOL] or even he was just joking and scaring him?? Steffi's group was about a dream which occured to steffi's mum regarding an oral examination, where she dreamt that the oral picture would be a market. My mind zap to thinking about her mum must be too anxious or worried that she even dreamt of it!
Mrs Woo had also explained in depth that not all predictions might be true. After all groups had presented their answer, i realised that almost everybody wrote predictions about bad stuff, there wasnt something like 'dreaming winning the lottery' or 'dreaming the lottery number'.
The lesson today was entertaining as we get to share our answer to the class and learnt things that occured to certain people which we did not know about at first.
My only feedback is for lessons to be more interactive online games so we could boarden our knowledge and creativity. :)

Learning Log 2
On one of the Literature lesson that we had, our class was given the homework of writing down 5 or more superstitions that we believe in. After i went back home, i went to the Internet to browse what the Chinese had believed about superstitions. I found out that many of them, there were some which also said about ghost or even spirits. I chose to copy down those which were more believable or realistic. Some of them were about Chinese New Year whereby we should avoid sweeping the floor as it might ''Sweep the good luck away''. After a few days or so, we went to discuss in groups about what we wrote. Some of my classmates were chosen to present their answer to the class. I remember clearly that one of them wrote that if you are pregnant, avoid going to the zoo or so, as the baby might look like it. Mrs. Woo had also explained even more deeper about that to the whole class. Another was about cutting fingernails at night and opening an umbrella at home. Those were examples which I hadn’t heard of before. I feel that our lesson and assignments were very interesting and new in me, my having that lesson, I learnt things which were not included in our textbook etc. whereby we also gain knowledge from. In my opinion, I feel that our lesson could be improved by assigning different people to search on unique superstitions believed by different races. As by doing so, we might also learn to respect what other religions believe in.
After today lesson (24/1/11) about Macbeth, I learnt more about how the three witches would express themselves and the voice they used. Pupils like Lionel, Liang Wei and Jasmine were randomly selected to read the script of Macbeth, Act 1 Scene 1 to the class. I feel that making our voices sound squeaky sounds weird and funny. Although it sounds weird, when they read it aloud to the class, we simply enjoy it as we manage to get alot of laughter out of it. In my opinion, I feel the lessons that we had were simply more and more fun as it seems to be. I feel the lessons that we had were a very 'LOL' lesson has we could just laugh till our heart content. The lessons could be further improved by proceeding further on at a faster speed, as by doing so, i think we could absorb more.

Learning Log 1
From the numerous literature lesson that we had, i learnt about CINQUIANS, how we should construct a cinquian and most importantly, their rules.I also learnt the meaning of cinquians whereby 'cinq' is derived from a french word, 5!!!I have also learnt that the cinquain are written five lines.In my opinion, i feel that writing a cinquain is much more easier than writing a poem, as writing a poem requires more thinking and considering, by making it rhyme. My group created a poem regarding the toilet ,it was really fun and interective for us. In regards in writing a good poem, i feel that we must have enough practice as 'PRACTICE MAKES PECFECT' it also requires a great level of english for describing and expressing what your feelings are.
I feel that the lesson that we had were interesting and fun as we get to COMMUNICATE with our PEERS on writing a cinquian.We also get to think out of the BOX by brainstorming words which could be placed in that line PREFECTLY.I think our lessons could be improved by making literature lesson more anticipating and compeitive instead of SIMPLY fun and excitement. We could also have more practises and exercise to make ourselves better writing a cinquian :)
