Learning Log 3

After two glorious Literature lessons, we finally had our third, and just as expected, it was marvellous! This time, however, our literature lesson was mostly subjected to discussion in groups which I found a ton of fun.

We still remained on the topic of “Superstitions” but this lesson however, like I said was different because in our groups, we were told by Mrs Woo to discuss about a true incident regarding a superstition that actually occurred to us. This assignment was a little challenging because each one of us definitely had to wrack our brain to think of the ideal situation to fit the question. For many of us, including myself, we simply could not manage to think up a situation, so we were forced to create a made-up story to fit the bill. I found it fun hearing about how some of my peers came up with their stories.

There were, however, those who actually had experienced such situations themselves, really surprised us with their experiences. Anyway, back to my group… I found myself in the company of Qi Herng, Lionel and Dawn, this time and we finally managed to select Dawn’s story, not only because it was the only account among us which was actually true, but also because we felt that it was the most interesting. Anyway, after much rephrasing and rewriting, it was time to present our ‘masterpiece’.  Apart from waiting eagerly for Qi Herng to read ours aloud, I also found myself anticipating the accounts from the rest of my classmates. I found some of the accounts written by my classmates quite humorous while others were pretty creepy, especially the accounts written by Amanda’s group and Rachel’s too.I found myself feeling grateful that the accounts were only made up.

All in all, I must say that I found our group’s and the others’ account to be really good. It was certainly a lot of fun laughing along with everyone as each representative of the group read out their accounts. For the third time, I found that it was definitely a great lesson and cannot wait for the fun we will have in the following lessons to come…Can’t wait!

Yours truly,
