Dear Mrs. Woo,

   I must say that the Macbeth performance is a very interesting and interactive play that requires loads of teamwork… not to mention TIME!!! But it was a great experience to perform to an audience and to observe how other performers show their creativity with their props, actions and how they deliver their speechJ

  Before the Macbeth performance, my group and I were scared that something might go wrong during the performance or if one of us will have a nervous breakdown of some sort. Even though there were some imperfections, we really did our 100% best and stick together as a teamJ. Some of the unplanned imperfections are, we completely forgot to bring some of the props, the sound effect is missing, we were short of a witch broom stick, and finally, we do not even look like witches….

  After the Macbeth performance, my team and I were smiling and talking. We were not worried for our results as all of us knew that we did our very best. I should also say that all of the groups put I a lot of effortJ Most of all, everyone enjoyed themselves.

  I benefited and learnt a lot through this magnificent experience with the class. I have learnt to plan my time properly and interact better with others. I think that this play was a complete success!

Dear Mrs. Woo,

    After I searched the internet for predictions to share with my fellow classmates, I have learnt that only a few predictions came to pass and others are just myths, comments or simply fake. There is one president who predicted that there will be robots and technologies far beyond creation (this prediction was made in 1958, if I’m not mistaken) and it did come to pass! Robots that can play soccer, space travelling and many more. One of the predictions that never came to pass is that the world will explode in 2011. ~_~

    I have learnt that predictions can be quite misleading and can really hurt you. For example: One day, early in the morning, you get a text message saying that your beloved one will die in your house next year. How can we start a day like that? But some predictions are just too good to ignore, one of them is when you are told that you are going to prosper in the future. J

On the day when my classmates shared their events about a prediction, it was really interesting and creepy at the same time (one of them includes talking to a ghost). I used to ignore predictions people or strangers tell me but after today, I think I am starting to believe some of them… Like Dawn’s, Wei Qi’s and Amanda’s events about their encountered predictions. Overall, the lesson on predictions is interesting and enjoyable J

  I hope that the next few literature lessons would be even more interesting and exciting!

Dear Mrs. Woo,

     I have learnt that people make up superstitions when they are not sure about certain things. For example, when we do not know how the sun rises and sets, people make stories or make-believes to answer the question.

Some of the superstition I heard from other classmates are just nonsense, some say that we should finish all the rice that we get in our plates so that in the future, your husband or wife would be pretty or pimples. These are just stories to help the children finish all the food given to them even if they did not want to. But I enjoyed the class very much.

I think that you should have given us more superstitions to make the class more interesting.

I also learnt some things during the presentation on act 1 scene 1 in the literature drama on Macbeth. I learnt that acting as a character is pretty hard as we need to sound, walk and act, like the characters that we are playing as. And acting is not one of my talents.

I think that the lesson is very fun and enjoyable because we can learn from other students about the way a witch sounds like. And also learn from their mistakes.

I suggest that we should get into groups and practice our witch voices so everyone can have a go.

Dear Mrs Woo,

      The literature lesson on cinquain is really interesting as it is new to me and I enjoy writing and describing things with the cinquain. It is easy and simple to write a cinquain as it only requires 5 lines and a few words.

      Some things that I have learnt from the cinquain lesson are, the word "cinquain" is delivered from the French word cinq, which means five. This explains why cinquain is a five-line poem. There are also some rules we should follow when writing a cinquain.

     Line 1 should be a one word title. Line 2 must be a two word description.  On line 3, I should write 3 actions that describe the title. Line 4 should be the four word phrase on my feelings of the title. And the last line is a reflection on the title (one word).

*no suggestions for improvement*
