It must be our favourite love song . it was a very fun day to learn about love and we also know the meaning of love between romeo and juliet .. Thursday, March 4, 2010
Term 1 Week 7 (Fri) Today learnt about sonnets . The sonnet is one of the poetic forms that can be found in lyric poetry from Europe. By the thirteenth century, it had come to signify a poem of fourteen lines that follows a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure. The conventions associated with the sonnet have evolved over its history. One of the best-known sonnet writers is William Shakespeare, who wrote 154 of them (not including those that appear in his plays). A Shakespearean, or English, sonnet consists of 14 lines, each line containing ten syllables and written in iambic pentameter, in which a pattern of an unemphasized syllable followed by an emphasized syllable is repeated five times. The rhyme scheme in a Shakespearean sonnet is a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g; the last two lines are a rhyming couplet. An example : If I profane with my unworthiest hand This is my holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this, For saints have hands that pilgrim's hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmer's kiss Have not saints lips, and holy palmer's too? Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. O then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. Then pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair Saints do not move, through grant for prayer's sake. Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take. Mr Chua go through with us the question and he also explained the question . Unfortunately we do not have enough time to finish the whole paper . Then Mr Chua told to do this worksheet as homework . Wednesday, March 3, 2010
Term 1 week6 I like today lesson . We learnt about imagery . Imagery is used in literature to refer to descriptive language that evokes sensory experience. When Mr Chua came in , he gave us a piece of worksheet about imagery . Its an imagery about the scene Romeo & Juliet. He wanted us to do the question together as a class . This images were used by Romeo to describe about Juliet . Romeo described Juliet as torch , jewels and a dove . The are the quotes : Torch : 'Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! ' meaning :Torches are used to bring light to dark places. When Romeo says that Juliet 'teaches the torches to burn bright' , he is saying that she is brighter than any torch . Light is a symbol of beauty . Jewels : 'It seems she hangs upon the cheeks of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear.' meaning :The literary divice used here is personification. Night is imagined by Romeo to have a cheek. This mean that night is given human characteristics . Diamond sparkle light cast on them and they sparkle. Ethiopia is a country in Africa. People in this country have dark skin. Objects that shine like diamonds in the night sky are th stars, and the Moon. Dove : 'So shows a snowy dove trooping amongst crow, As yonder lady over her fellows show' meaning :The literary device used here is metaphor, since Juliet is directly compared to a snowy dove. These birds are beautiful. The rest of ladies in the Ball are compared to crows. These birds are ugly . After he had gone through the passage . He told us to composed a description of our loves loves one using the format used by Romeo and hand it in by Friday . Friday, February 12, 2010
Term 1 week 5 10th of February Today , we have learnt about a scene on The Merchant of Venice . When Mr Chua came in , he gave us a piece of worksheet which contains lines of Shylock and Portia Which says that Shylock wanted a pound of flesh from Antonio and also Portio explaining the bond to Shylock . The lesson was thought by we were given 10 minutes to finish the question . After we have done the question , we pass our worksheet to the row leaders and then Mr Chua discuss with us the question that was on the worksheet . He uses the 'Bottle of Happiness' to choose the students to answer the question . After we have done discussing about the first worksheet . Mr Chua gave us a second worksheet to work on at home as homework . But before we do it as homework , Mr Chua wanted to explain the passage which contains th lines of Shylock and Antonio . After i read passage , i understand why Shylock hated Antonio . Its because Antonio have insulted him before . He called shylock a misbeliever , cut-throat dog and he spit on Shylock's jeweish clothes . i felt that this lesson was good because i understand more about the story on The Merchant of Venice . I like the part where we broken into groups and we have to read out the dialogue aloud . The part that we should improve on is that we must be quite when the teacher is teaching and listen to the teacher's intruction . Friday, January 22, 2010
Term 1 week 4 Today we did nothing much . Today we learnt about mercy . We were told to give the meaning and an example for mercy like : Mercy : a refraining from harming or punishing offenders, enemies, persons in one's power, etc.; kindness in excess of what may be expected or demanded by fairness; forbearance and compassion . sentence : He will know how to repay us in kind for mercy shown to him. Then after we have done finding the meaning and sentence for mercy , we have to work with our partners to find the quality of mercy and we have to search for it in The Merchant of Venice text . Unfortunately , we did not have enough time to finish the worksheet and we have to do it as homework . But before we can go for our recess , we have to hand in our drawing of the setting of the 3 witches . Wednesday, January 20, 2010
Term 1 Week 3 Today Mr Chua came . He told us to line up outside the classroom . We went to the ACES gallery to learn a new scene on The Merchant of Venice . The Merchant of Venice is believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598. Classified as a comedy in the First Folio, and while it shares certain aspects with Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play is perhaps more remembered for its dramatic scenes, and is best known for Shylock and the 'pound of flesh'. The play's antisemitic overtones can be troubling to modern audiences. The title character is the merchant Antonio, not the Jewish moneylender Shylock, who is the play's most prominent and more famous character. Then Mr Chua told us that we have to search for the charater traits and pass it up on Friday . We were divided into groups . I am going to search for Shylock character traits . After he done telling us what to do , he told us to act out the scene . He asked for volunteers to act out the scene but none of us raised up our hands . Since , no one raised up their hands , Mr Chua randomly picked 6 students to act out the scene . So they act out the scene . But unfotunately , we do not have enough time to finish acting out the text as the bell have already rang . That all for today lesson . Friday, January 15, 2010
Term 1 Week 2 Today Mr Chua was absent from school . So , another teacher came in to relief our class . Her names is Miss Shala . She is a Literature teacher also . Today we learn about a famous writer which is William Shakesphere . He have wrote many story like Macbeth , The Merchant of Venice , Romeo & Juliet and etc . So today we focused on the story Macbeth . Macbeth, is a play by William Shakespeare about a regicide and its aftermath. It is Shakespeare's shortest tragedy and is believed to have been written sometime between 1603 and 1607. The earliest account of a performance of what was likely Shakespeare's play is April 1611, when Simon Forman recorded seeing such a play at the Globe Theatre. It was first published in the Folio of 1623, possibly from a prompt book for a specific performance. It was about a scene where 3 withces dicussing on where shall they meet up again with Macbeth . After we have read and understand the script . We were supposed to draw the setting of Macbeth . We were told to do this as homework and hand it in to Mr Chua next week . We ended the lesson after the bell had rang . |
