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.
