edu3234- using songs to teach literary text

On 15 October 2009, my group presented our assigned task which is using songs to teach literary text. We have spent quite a few days to search and discuss for this topic. We have presented a text by Hillary Tham entitled ‘Offerings’ and we choose an evergreen song as well. ‘The One I gave My Heart to’ is the title of the song. It was sung by the late Aaliyah in 1997.
To my surprise, two groups have chosen the same songs and with the same literary texts. However, I found their choices amazing as this song really fits the storyline of ‘Cinderella Girl’. I realized that many of my classmates enjoy their time in this class as they are up-to-date to new great songs. Songs is a good choice when the students lose interest in the classroom. They may listen to the songs and sing along if they want to. Sometimes song depicts reality in life thus this is a good opportunity for teachers to instil moral values to the lesson that they taught.
In the activities provided by us, we stated that songs can be used at the set induction stage in which the students are instructed to listen to the song and underline specific info that the teachers will further explained in the next stage. The next activity that we suggested is find picture or captures a few photos that describe relationship. The students will then be asked to come up with a tagline for their photos.

edu3234 jigsaw reading

On 8 October 2009, I learnt jigsaw reading. Actually, I am quite puzzled with the name itself since I have never done activity like this before. I thought that this activity is like organizing sentences into the correct order but actually it is not. The whole class was given a speech by Malcolm X and I noticed that every page of the speech has been alphabetically ordered. I choose the front page of the speech that had alphabet “A” written on top of it. I felt grateful that I made a good choice as I well understood the whole content of my part. I heard complaints by my fellow friends that they did not understand what the text is all about. Some of them confused with the storyline because they said that they did not know what happened before that contributed to the consequent actions in the pages that they read.

Our task started when we were asked to gather in groups who had the same alphabet in their pages. In the assigned group, we had to note down the names of people and places mentioned and also search for the issues that Malcolm raised in his speech. After that, we came back to our groups and explained the result of our discussion. Miss Dzeelfa then told us to identify six elements in the speech which are purpose, key message, speaker’s point of view, tone, characteristics and other elements that we think interesting or our own personal opinions.

Our class ended after Miss Dzeelfa concluded the lesson by explaining the benefits and shortcomings of using jigsaw reading in the classroom. She told us that jigsaw reading can be used in class at any size or instruction by teachers of all teaching abilities. So, I will consider this activity to be included in my lesson plan in the future as i agreed with Miss Dzeelfa’s explanation that jigsaw reading can ease the burdens of the students from having to read the texts from beginning until the end. This will definitely makes the students overwhelmed with the lengthy speeches.

edu3234 speeches

Today, I learnt about rhetoric speeches. This type of speech is actually employed by politicians and activists hence its purpose is to persuade through speaking and writing. Miss Dzeelfa provided us with examples of how to utilize this kind of speech into classroom learning. I am ont surprised with expected responses from my fellow classmates about this speech. Majority of them are shocked to see the lengthy speeches that we have to read.

In this colloction of speech by many prominent figure, I am impressed with Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech. He highlights the dream of Afican American. I thought the sentence 'I have a dream today' affected me in such an amazing way. So, I wondered about African-Amerrican's feeeling as well when they listened to his speech,definitely, many of them will love it it.

My group's task for today is analyzing Earl of Spencer's speech for obituary of Diana, Princess of Wales. Seeing at the title itself made me eager to read the whole speech. After all, I am relieved as the speech is not too long.

I realized that using speech by famous people can actually help teacers to activate their student's schemata. They may have already knew bits and pieces about J.F Kennedy and Diana, Princess of Wales, for example. This speech also broadens our students' knowledge abour politics and history. The students also may get inspired after listening to this speeches of influential figures.

edu3234 parody

On 15 September 2009, we learnt about parody. It is also called send-up or spoof, in contemporary usage. Parody , a work created to mock , comment on, or poke fun at an original work is a devastating form of literary criticism. The wise parodist imitates with understanding and even sympathy. It can be aimed at good or bad poems. Other than that, it can be an odd form of flattery.

Miss Dzeelfa taught about the parody of A.E Housman. His poem entitled 'When I Was One-and Twenty' attracted Hugh Kingsmill. Kingsmill wrote a parody of his poem with the title 'What,Still Alive at Twenty-Two.'

In the original version of a literary work, the story always end with 'happily ever after.' The parodists believed that such ending is too good to be true so they change the story to suit contemporary world.

In my opinion, although parody serves the purpose of delivering reality in a piece of work, i still prefer the original version. The happy ending of a story is like a n escapism for me from the harsh reality of this world. Our class ended after Miss Dzeelfa gave us a task to create our own parody.

edu3234- last day of postion paper's presentation

We presented our paper personally with Miss Dzeelfa. I am surprised when I noticed that only a few people came to her room to present it as i thought that a quarter of my classmates are supposed to present it today with me.However,that was not my real concern today since i spent the whole night last night to crack my brain to come out with a good position paper. Finally, I am satisfied with my work. I am also happy as I was able to present the three supporting points fluently today.
Hopefully, my written paper also would be as good as my power point presentation. Again, I will ensure that I commited with my assignments and produce a great works.

edu3234 2nd day of position paper's presentation

3/9/09
I enjoyed today’s class. It is basically because of Geeta’s controversial stance that provokes a lot of reactions among my classmates. She talked about a short story “A Great Injustice”. Her stance is “Abortion is the best solution to the unmarried mother.”The class started being interesting as a few of classmates rose up their hands and argued her position. They claimed that Ah Nya should not abort the child as they said that Ah Nya did not know what is destined to the child if she lets the child enters the world. Farihan expressed maybe the child will have a bright future as in the short story “The Merry Maid”. Sakinah leads a wealthy and good life with her adopted parents although she is actually was born out of wedlock by an Indian girl. She was raised by a Malay family and the family treats her well. So, I think Farihan has her points there when she stated that maybe Ah Nya should let the child alive. Hani also chose the same short story for her position paper. She proposed a similar stance that is “The unmarried mother should be given the second chance.” What she meant here is the society should forgive her for her wrongdoing and give her a second chance to amend her mistakes. Hani asserted that everyone is not free from making mistakes. Ah Nya is unfortunate since pregnancy out of wedlock is unacceptable in our society and thus the society blamed her for it.
