Learning of letters in Dr. Edwin class~

It's been a week i never see Dr. Edwin. But, today he attended into class. And he is as usual loves to make jokes. Hahaha.. Everyone of us keeps on laughing. Before the class started, we were actually viewing for the DVD which have not finish viewing in the last week. After finished it, Dr. Edwin asked quite some kinds of different questions based on the movie. And we answer him on what we think of this movie. Later on, he moved to the most interesting question- As you are a teacher, what kind of metaphor/images that you want to go for?? We answered it one by one. Starting from the row behind until the front row. And it came out with a lot of funny images. This makes me laugh non stop in the class. The most funniest images we got is by Nalini. She said "if i am a teacher, i am like an ATM Machine which stands on the knowledge provider rather than money provider." Everyone of us is laughing and laughing included Dr. Edwin as well. LOL.. This is so happy and interesting. Additional, Dr. Edwin done a little bit of letters with us and the class ended in this chapter. Next class we would study on the new chapter... Winks *~

Finally... it is my turn!!!

Today, it was the last week of presentation for our position paper. Everyone in the class is feeling happy though because we knew that the Hari Raya's holiday is just around the corner. But, we still have our research paper to go on and we are feeling stress. So, one by one of my coursemates went up to the stage and presented their position paper. While Mr. Omid was sitting behind to observe every of the presentations done by us. All of my coursemates done a very good job. They did very well in their powerpoint presentation and the creativity of their works too. Finally, it was my turn to go up the stage and present for my position paper after i have been waiting for three weeks time. I was quite nervous at first but after a few seconds, i felt more comfortable with the stage. And i presented it with full confident. My title for my position paper is Godfather's Death by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. This is an interesting short story and it teaches us to think in critically way. I learned a lot of knowledges while i was doing this position paper. It taught me many kinds of moral values and all these could be used for my future. Anyway, today was a great day of Mr. Omid's class. He is a kind and friendly like our lecturer- Dr. Edwin! I was pretty happy though after finished this presentation. Next session....to be continued~

Presentation day . . .

And of course their presentation as well. But, today have not reach my turn yet. Mr. Omid said next wednesday everyone of us must finish present everything. So, i'll be presenting it on next wednesday. hehehe... And, Mr. omid praised Elizabeth for the best presentation. She really did very well. Her input for everyone is clear and we understand well too. So, i am waititng for the next presentation. Bravo!!

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.
