Learning Log 2

  Last few lessons, me and some of my other classmates were chosen to demonstrate act 1 scene 1 of the Three Witches of MacBeth. We demonstrated three times where each time, three students demonstrate. We had to read out the script with emotions but some of my classmates did not read it out with emotions but they had tried and it was obvious that they had put in effort for their demonstration. Although they tried their best, they still have a lot of rooms for improvement.

  I hav to admit, from the start of the year, for literature, this is one of the most interesting work I had to complete. I was amazed at how many different superstitions there are, and i am unaware of most of them. Although i do not believe in superstitions, I would not want to get involved in any of the bad ones like crossing a black cat's path. Some of the superstitions spooked me out too.

  I was surprised at some of the superstitions my classmates had came up with. It was very interesting. I am also very curious at how the superstitions are made as some were unreasonable. The presentations by my classmates made me want to find out more about the superstitions. After that Wednesday, i have been researching on the superstitions that i had found out from my classmates during the presentation.

Learning Log 1

I have learned how to write the cinquain poem itself. A cinquain poem is a five lined poem in which the first line consists of one word which is the title, the second line consists of 2 words which are descriptions, the third line consists of 3 words which are actions and must end with the "-ing", the fourth line consists of four words which are feelings and the last line, which is the fifth line, consists of a one word reflection of the title.


For the lesson, we had a group work. Our task is to complete a cinquain poem. The group work helped me to interact better with my classmates and improve on my poem-writing skills. I also learned that i have to respect other people's ideas even if the ideas are stupid and not laugh at the ideas they have contributed.


Give us a hard copy of past years better cinquain poems so that we can learn from them and improve on our own cinquain poems.
