Term 2 week 2 (TUE)

Today we didn't do much of acting because it was time to concentrate on our upcoming acting.Miss Malyanah had mention to us that not only us that were acting Macbeth.But is actually ALL OVER THE WORLD that is participating in this exercise.She had also shown us some videos on other students from different parts of the country reenacting the Act 1 scene 1 of Macbeth.The first video consists of three girls in a small forest doing the scene,then it was three boys.It was a little bit weird though if a guy would act as three witch,but they did it perfectly.For the last one,it was a stop-motion video,which was done perfectly of course.Even though we couldn't hear the sound of the video,it was still magnificent as is was creatively done.

After watching the video,we were told to go into our groups of three for the Macbeth.My group consists of me,Beatrice and Doreen.Miss Malyanah told us to discuss on what to do for the upcoming act which is going to next Thursday.My group discuss about the props as we know it is an important part in the act.We were told that we needed to use recycled items for our props,so that we won't waste our precious money on the act as it is unnecessary for all of us. Haha. After all the discussion were done,we went back to our sits and greeted the teachers good bye and went for our recess.

Term 2 week 1 (THUR)

For today we did mostly acting.Today we got our common test paper back.I couldn't remember what i got for the test,but don't worry when i get my paper back i will post it.The we started off with was an awesome period.Firstly,Miss Malyanah told us to put four tables to the side of the classroom then,she had asked the class for at least 10 volunteers to come out and stand in the centre of the classroom to act.Zuhairi was the first one to raise his hand up because he adore acting so much and he might have a good chance in acting maybe in the future. Haha. :) The class got many brave volunteers.Those who come out and volunteered,bravo to them. As for those who were forced,too bad is your lucky day. Hehe. The class do have a lot of popular actor and actresses.One of the actresses is Sabrina.She was born to act.

Then once the class got 10 volunteers,Miss Malyanah told them to act as burglars.These burglars are attempting to break into a mansion that is full of expensive jeweleries.Miss Malyanah told them to act like what a burglar will do if he/she were to break into a house.Then after they acted as burglars,Miss Malyanah told them to go back to their sits.Then she told us that she wanted us to do a play.This play could have as much actors as they want to.The first actor which is the first volunteer to come out to the centre of the classroom will need to think of something to act out in order there is a subject to be played on the play itself.Once the first few actor/actresses had started their act,many will keep on joining in the play with different kind of acts.With different kind of acts,the play will be much more interesting.After more and more people had started to join the play,we see many different acts such as DJ,Hosts,Reporters etc.Then the bell had rang and our lesson needed to end.Even though time flies so fast,still we had an another great lesson of Literature. ;D Signing off,Syafiqah. :)

Term 2 week 1 (TUE)

Today was our first lesson for term 2 ! Back to school. Since it is a new term,so our literature lessons have been re-scheduled. OK,today Miss Malyanah took the class for literature.Today's lesson was more relaxing for the whole class.There was not much in theory on today's lesson.Firstly Miss Malyanah told us to shift 4 tables to the side of the classroom,so that we can have an open space for us to walk around in the centre of the classroom.Miss Malyanah told us that the lesson today was all about teaching us on how to act and also practise for the upcoming drama that we are needed to do.The drama that we are going to act out on is from the act 1 scene 1 of Macbeth,so excited all of us were.Then she called out all the even number students,my index number is 14,so i was needed to be in the centre of the classroom with the rest of the even number of students while the rest just sit and watch the act.After our act was done,it was the odd number students that were needed to be in the centre of the classroom. Haha. All of us were needed to the same thing which is just walking around the open space with a number of speed.From a speed of 1 to 10.

After that was done,Miss Malyanah told us all to stand in the middle of the classroom to join the others that were standing there.This time,we were needed to act as a little child happily skipping,a gangster trying to scare people off and lastly an old grandmother walking down the street with a crooked back.Each of us must at least act out all of those three characters.When the teacher had given instruction to change characters,then we are supposed to change.After doing all that act outs,we wrap up the lesson as the bell had already rang.We greeted the teacher goodbye and went off for our recess. Signing out,Syafiqah. :)

Term 1 week 10 (FRI)

Today lesson is so unique.Miss Malyanah came in with a few strips of black cloth.All of us didn't know what she wanted to do with today lesson.Then after greeting her,she explain to us about the strips of black cloths.We were told that today we are "going" on a "imaginary trip or so called land".As for Mr Chua,again he didn't come for the lesson.So its going to be Miss Malyanah lesson again.Then she hand out the blindfolds to all of us.Each of us got one blindfold.Once she was done giving out the blindfolds,she instructed us to shut our eyes and put on the blindfolds on top of our eyes.Even though is a little bit irritating for the eyes,i just put it on.

Then,our "trip" started.Miss Malyanah closed the lights and started to let us imagine things such as....
  • Choose a place you like the most which you'll feel very private...
  • What do you see/touch/smell/feel in that place.
  • Then what will you pack when you are going for a trip? (E.g valuables,clothes, etc.)
  • What transport are you on? (boat,plane,car, etc.)
  • Where are you reaching to? (E.g Italy,Bali, etc.)
  • What do you saw?
  • You saw someone that you never thought you would see at that moment.
  • Something unexpected happened.
  • Needed to solve the problem as soon as possible.

During the imagine period,i imagined myself sitting on the sand from Bali.I smell the aroma of the fresh air coming towards me.I also felt the smooth surface of the sand.After all the imaginary things has ended,Miss Malyanah wanted us to stand up and untie our blindfolds and slowly open our eyes.When i open my eyes,my eyes got irritated because of the bright lights that were in the room.But soon after that,my eyes went easy by itself.It was such a relaxing literature lesson we had.To my surprise,some even had fell asleep during the 'imaginary journey'.Again,we got a worksheet from Miss Malyanah.The worksheet was about the imaginary stuffs,we needed to write down what we had experience during that period. To THOSE who slept during that period,had to create their own feelings because they didn't imagined instead the went to sleep. HAHA. Signing off,Syafiqah :D

(Its kinda awkward but it was fun as we get to walk around the class) :D.

After that,we have to choose at least one of the qualities from our friend's qualities that we just wrote down on the brochure.Miss Malyanah then taught ask about the quality of love from Greeks.Then we were given homework to do.We were needed to finish up the brochure and hand it up on the next lesson.We greeted Miss Malyanah good bye and started of with our next lesson.Signing off,Syafiqah :)

Term 1 week 9 (FRI)

Oh how delighted i was.Mr Chua is back from his MC.But still Miss Malyanah had to teach us literature because she is a trainee teacher and she needs to know on how to teach the students well.I was fine with it.OK,so today lesson was about asking our classmates questions,because by asking them questions,we can get a higher chance on passing our exams for literature.

Firstly Miss Malyanah told us to get into our bravo formation which is in pairs.My pair was Sabrina.Then she told us to marked our partners worksheets,so that she know we are not cheating.Once that was done,we were told to lined up outside the class.So all of us took our literature file and stationery's and we lined up outside in an orderly manner. ;D. We went to the Art Gallery which is just at the end our class corridor.At first i didn't know what we were going to do,then Miss Malyanah told us that we are going to get into pairs but it must be of the different gender.We kept on changing partners after the third time,we stopped doing so,because Miss Malyanah told us to get into lines.My first partner was Gerald followed by Azfar and i forgotten the last person who interviewed me.After the interviewing was over,we headed back to class and the bell had rang once we entered the class.The teachers dismissed us for recess and we went off.That's all for our literature lesson for today. See ya. ;D

Term 1 week 9 (WED)

Mr Chua was absent.So Miss Malyanah took over the class for today.Today lesson was all about Romeo and Juliet.Miss Malyanah explain it quite well.She expresses it nice though. Haha.We were given worksheets to do.Then we were told that there was going to be a literature remedial after school at 2.30pm to 3.30pm.All of us was quite excited because it was our fist literature remedial in the NE Library! And we also didn't know what we would expecting for the remedial. How cool isn't it ? ;D. Then the bell rang and we started with our next lesson.




After school ! we stayed back for our literature remedial,which is at 2.30pm.All of my classmates including 2Dynamic class went to the NE Library and gathered there.It was delightful to feel the coolness in the room. Haha. We like the air conditioner very much! Once we reached at the NE library,we were assigned into a group.We were needed to combine with Dynamic.During grouping our class and Dynamic class just couldn't keep our mouth shut.Miss Malyanah had troubled getting us to keep quiet as we are in the library.Then we watch a video on Merchant of Venice.It was kinda cool to watch a old movie. Haha. Then we were given worksheets to do,of course it was related to the story that we had just watched.Then all of us were given a few minutes to do the worksheet as a group.After the minutes were over,we couldn't complete the worksheet,so the teachers had decided to let us finish the rest of the worksheet and passed it up the next Friday.That's all for the day for LITERATURE =D. See ya.
