Term 1 week 4 (FRI)

Mr Chua gave us the last reminder to give our blog id by sunday(29 January 2010).All of us were like uh-oh! But for those who have yet to pass up their blog id will need to pass it up before sunday.

Mr Chua had asked our class to get into our 'Bravo' formation.My partner for 'Bravo' formation is Jerod since he is sitting next to me.Today,we receive a worksheet called "What is Mercy?"Mr Chua gave us 15minutes to complete the worksheet with our partner.Me and my partner completed the worksheet even before 15mins! Is called teamwork! ha ha.Next Mr Chua ask the Buddhist,Christians,Hindu and Muslims students to tell why our god is merciful.Most of the people had no idea what to write.So,Mr Chua decided to give this as homework.For this lesson,our homework is to ask our parents why our god is merciful.We went back to our seats and the class greeted goodbye to Mr Chua.Then,we prepared for the next lesson.Thats all for today lesson.Bye!=)

Term 1 week 3 (FRI)

On Friday,22 Jan 10

The lesson was interesting.This year's literature is much more interesting compared to last year's literature because this year we got to experience dramas from various books or countries.The very start of lesson,Mr Chua gave us a pop-quiz.Most of the questions are easy.It's about the characters from the story,Merchant of Venice.After that,Mr chua asked us to read the script of Merchant of Venice for 5 minutes and if we don't know any words we must asked him.We must first make a guess what the word means then Mr Chua will give us the definition.Most of the words we didn't know the meaning .We were ask to guess what were the meanings,so we just guess blankly. Haha. We were needed to search the qualities in Portia's line.There were a lot of points.Phew! And the Bell rang.So disappointing.In the end we have to do it as homework. Haiyo. Mr Chua check the work that was given by Miss Shalar.Luckily,i wrote my index number,name and class.Those who didn't ,had to stay back after school to complete it. also had 2 homework for the weekends.First is the character Traits and secondly is Qualities of Mercy.That's all for Friday's lesson.

1st Literature lesson

Hello peeps!I am Nur Syafiqah

This is my literature blog!I will soon be posting more about my literature lessons.
Wednesday,6 January 2010 is our first lesson of literature.During the lesson,we learned something called Cinquain.Cinquain is a general term applied to poetic poems forms using a 5-line pattern.There are specific forms within that category that are defined by specific rules and guidelines.An example:-

Evergreen
Strict Wonderful
Inspiring Caring Achieving
Evegreen is my second home to me

Home

We are not able to repeat any words like play.Once you wrote play,you are not able to insert any other words like playing or playful.This cinquains has a shape of a Christmas tree.There are many more shapes of designs we can make.First,we have to write the title.The next line,we have to write about our characters.Next,we write something with -ing at the back.After that,we are supposed to write a sentence about ourselves.Finally,write other words that refers to the subject .We must always remember,not to use a word twice!

After finishing the cinquain,he gave us homework to do.Which is cinquains on 'Literature'.We were fed up at first but,it had to be done.So,we wrote it down on our planner.The work is to be submitted on the next lesson."The bell rang.We greeted goodbye to Mr Chua and,he walked out of class.
