Interesting Class of Dr. Edwin. . .

Wow.. Wow... Today, when i got into the class early in the morning, i heard our coursemates said that there would be a poet come into Dr. Edwin's class. After heard of it, i found it was interesting because i want to know who is the poet actually. I have been waiting for Dr. Edwin class for two hours plus. At last, i was in the class. The moment i step into the class, i saw many people with the unfamiliar looks. I have no ideas about the existing of them. Then, coursemates said they are the cohart twinning students. Then, in front of class came in two beautiful ladies and Dr. Edwin. The two ladies came from British Council. They introduced themselves. And finally i saw the poet. She introduced herself and she is from Birmingham, United Kingdom. But, when she was young, her parents and the whole family had moved to Jamaica. Firstly, she wants us to form a group of ten. Then, we sit together and she passed the paper around. It is a poem titled Lulu. She wants us to read aloud with the whole class, then read by ourselves and the last time read aloud with the group members. So, we did what she had assigned us to do. Then, she asked three questions about this poem. First, she asked what do we know? Second, What do we think we know? and the last, What do we want to know? And every group would elect a member to declare their answers in front of the class. Know what? It comes out with a lot of funny answers but it really fun and make sense. Then, She wants us to write the own poem based on the role of narrator, Lulu and mother. Then, we would recite our poem in front. And there are some love poem, comedy poem and many many more. We are havin so much fun. And, just a while of the class, it is already five in the evening and it is the end of the class. She gave every group member a British Council note book. Today, i really learned a lot of new things. Although it is only two hours class, but i learned the ways on how to teach poem interestingly to the class instead of boring environment.

Tutorial again...

Today is the tutorial class again. And it is the presentation day for our position paper as well. We used powerpoint to do our presentation. For this session, Mr. Omid called up all the volunteers to present their work. And today, there are only eleven people presented. I found that they are really present very well in their presentation. They come out with many different kind of thinking, argument and supporting ideas. So, the next class we will still continue with our presentation and the due date of our position paper.

The Review of "The Andy Warhol Diaries"

Today, Dr. Edwin did not attend class but he assigned us to watch the review of "The Andy Warhol Diaries". So, we watched it together for one hour review. From the beginning of this review, i found that it is very boring. And the whole class of us do not know what it is all about. It keeps on flash the different kind of pictures with different colours and shape. The flashing of pictures started from year of 1976 until year of 1982. After the review finished, only then i know it is all about the contribution of Andy Warhol in his life. He has a lot of contributions. For example, the little painting of Elizabeth Taylor, Campbell's soup painting and etc. It is quite interesting though because it is the six years hard work by Andy warhol. So, next class Dr. Edwin will discuss with us on the text of "The Andy Warhol Diaries".

Mr. Omid's Tutorial class...

Today, Mr Omid is going to discuss the thesis research with the whole class. At first it is quite boring though. But, after a while, Mr. omid assigned us to get into groups with the people who are doing the same topic in position paper. We discuss to each other by giving our own opinions and so on. Then, we need to show up our first draft for position paper to compare with our group partner. From here, i learned a lot and i got to perceive a lot of new ideas for my position paper. At least, i got to know what should i write for my arguement because i could not find any idea to suppport my thesis statement. Although it is just a three hours class but time passed exteremely fast today. We end our lesson by comparing our position draft.
