Term 3 Week 6

Monday: Mr Chua distributed 3 sets of worksheets after we settled down. He gave us a worksheet about Anti drug abuse message that we had gone through in the previous CCD lesson. Mr Chua told us to read through the text, and he would call out a few people to read out loud, as he wanted to train our oral communication for our Shakespeare play. Mr Chua gave us an assignment on  replying to Lonesome Boy's problems like a counselor. Mr Chua went through the last worksheet after that. After much explanation about the corrections we had to do, he showed us our learning log results.  He tracked who had not been doing their their assignment. Disappointed to say, I'm one of them. I did not completed Week 5 assignment on time. Mr Chua was much more disappointed than me, for the second time. It was embarrassing for me, of course. Mr Chua made us stand afterwards. He scolded us for being irresponsible and told us to update our blog latest by Friday. I was thankful that he gave us a much longer time to update our blogs, but updating the blog is the first thing I did when I went home. Mr Chua deducted our marks, and I promised that I would try my best to update my blog. I think that I should be more responsible in the future. To be frank, I think that doing our assignment online is very distracting due to other uses on source of entertainment such as social networking sites like Facebook. I tend to get distracting by all these, but it all takes self discipline. Also, it has more advantages than disadvantages. It can help save paper, and allow us to find more information online and placing it in our blogs. I guess that it all takes self discipline, and it shows that I'm not well-discipline enough. I should learn how to discipline myself more. 

 

 

"The one quality which sets one man apart from another - the key which lifts one to every aspiration while others are caught up in the mire of mediocrity - is not talent, formal education, nor intellectual brightness - its is self discipline. With self discipline, all things are possible.Without it, a simple goal can seem like the impossible dream." - Theodore Roosevelt

Thursday: Mr Chua continued our lesson of The Mighty Mandarin after we settled down. He instructed us to read the play by giving each of us a role. My row got the role of Fu. We have to stand and read when our lines were being spoken. Since Mr Chua was hurrying us to quicken our lines, we were like standing and sitting and standing and sitting again. It was tiring of course, but it was fun and humorous. Mr Chua took the role of Min, Shang and Sung. We laughed till we were crying our eyes out when Mr Chua switch his pitch for different characters, especially Min. Literature lessons were never as funny as this one. And I really enjoyed it alot. Literature lesson was ending soon, and Mr Chua gave us some assignments, to illustrate the scene of the Mighty Mandarin's room, to complete the worksheet, and to update our blogs! Mr Chua then reminded us to memorise our lines for the actors. I think that Literature lessons are getting more and more fun especially this lesson and the upcoming Literature play. In my opinion, laughing and enjoying myself while learning is an important factor of learning too. It gives us interest in learning. Its very heart warming to see people enjoying themselves and it gives them happiness.
