Term 2 Week 3

  Monday:  Ms Maly came in our class and told us to move our tables aside again. She then briefed us about the Macbeth play that we were going to perform. She gave us 15 mins to change into our costume. I heard that the play covers 30% of our Mid-Year exams. Thus, I rented a costume, but ended up buying it. Unfortunately, we were told to redo our play as many people  did not have their costumes, and most of us forgotten our lines. We had to redo our play on Friday.

  Friday:  Ms Maly told us to change into our costume and return to class in 10 mins time as we were in a hurry. Mr Ang was observing our class. After changing we went back to class and picked our slots as we wanted to have a private play. Before the play, Ms Maly instructed us to show a gesture. We had to imagine that we are each holding a bow in our hands and we are supposed to aim. After that, Ms Maly told us to release our arrow and shout," Hoah!" I think that this brought up pur self-confidence and high spirits as everyone shouted loudly. I felt the sense of confidence of our class at that moment. We went out to wait for our turn. While waiting outside, I tried to imrovise my play by getting powder to create an visual effect. My group members, Jalilah and PeiQi contributed by getting better props and suggesting actions to be performed. Ms Maly had to come out serveral times as we were too noisy. We were all excited. When it was our turn to perform, we spoked the lines with wickedness and emotion. After that, we pretended to stir something in the cauldron and we blew the powder facing the camera. We then made a sound effect, " Poof!" and all of us squatted down to create an illusion that all of us had vanished. After the whole play, Ms Maly told us that we did a good job.

    Term 2 Week 2

    Ms Maly and Mr Chua came in to class today. Mr Chua sat at the back of the class to view our class performance. We pushed all our tables and chairs to the side as usual. Ms Maly told us to get into our groups and briefed us about the play that we are going to act on 9th April. I think that we were given a very short amount of time to prepare our costumes and so. We were told to volunteer oursleves. Ms Maly needed 10 students. Putri came out to volunteered herself, but no one came out after that. So, Ms Maly had to choose another 10 students. She chose another 9 students that are often roudy and noisy.

Ms Maly then taught us a new skill of acting called the moving picture. Ms Maly told us that 2 Thinking did a very good job. Benedict had to start of a moving picture as an explorer. Then, the volunteers have to add on to the moving picture to decribe more on the environment and people. Slowly, more classmates volunteered themsleves by adding more moving motions into the picture. I am one of them who came out. Some of my classmates act like moving trees, illegal tree choppers, butterflies and rabbits, more explorers and so on. It really gives me the sense of belonging and teamwork. After that we went back our seats. Ms Maly each gave us a piece of paper and we have to write down our reflections and a suggestions to improvise the lesson. We do not have any Literature lesson on Friday as it is a public holiday. My reflection for the week is that I find that the Literature play could bring our friendship with each other closer as the play requires teamwork. This makes us happier and merrier. This activity is like a bonding activity.
