Well, this lesson was really an interesting one! When I first got the information that we had to surf the Internet for some superstitions, my mind was blank for a moment! In my head I was thinking, "What had superstions got to do with English or Literature?". After that our form teacher asked us to read up on our first play by Shakespeare which was Macbeth. Gosh, was I on cloud-nine! Finally we can do some acting and drama although I would much rather prefer the famously known Romeo & Juliet. However, I found out that I would also get a chance to act in it next term for our CA2. Lets' focus on the main thing here before I slowly stray away from it! Unfortunately, I failed to read Macbeth but was able to scoop out some cool bits on superstitions. The next day came and our smart Mrs Woo decided to use a function in her laptop that was able to pick numbers at random for some sharing on superstitions. I was literally praying that my register number would not come up! I found out that many superstions relate to a variety of religion. The thing that came next was really fun! Mrs Woo used the same 'random pick' function in her laptop to call out the people who would act the opening chapter of Macbeth as the three witches! When they tried to act the scene out with a voice of a witch, I was trying really hard to contain my laughter but it was to no avail. That particular lesson was pretty hilarious! Soon I realised that Macbeth had something got to do with superstions like 'witchcraft' and 'sorcery' i guess.

Overall, I enjoyed the lesson and I think so did the others from 2CMT. This is all thanks to Mrs Woo for the smooth delivery of the lesson and also making it come to life! In my opinion, working in groups for the discussion really helps us bond with others and it was really a great feeling sharing different type of information with each other. To Mrs Woo, as a teacher you did really well! I hope you can keep making each of your lesson alive!

I had been pondering this for a while but my mind just cannot think of anything. As long as the lesson was entertaining and smoothly delivered in detail, I think everything would be fine I guess...

When I was first introduced to cinquain,I was a bit lost and uninterested. However,I soon developed a keen interest to the subject as it was a bit unique. It has to have a one word title. Two creative words to describe the topic after it. Then,three adjectives or descriptive words ending with -ing following with four words to know the topic in more detail. Lastly, write a word that reflects the topic itself. Overall,the lesson was fun. We got a chance to team up with other members and create our own cinquain. It was awesome! My group did the one on money. Everyone seems to be involved in the lesson and Mrs Woo also did a great job teaching this topic and showing us examples like the cinquain about chocolate. In my opinion, Mrs Woo should let the class to group up more often for activities like last time to make the lesson more colourful than mundane. This also help students to have motivation to pay attention to the lesson if the activity were carried out with classmates than by themselves. At the end of the day, cinquain was a fresh and new topic to me thus it was an entertaining lesson!
