Thursday, March 11, 2010 term 1 , week 8 today , mr chua never come to school so ms marliyana took our lesson. she gave us a worksheet and asked us to do a brochure about love and its qualities . it was a very interesting lesson . she gave us 5 minutes to go around finding for 5 boys and 5 girls in our class and ask them what they want their future lover to be . she explained to us that love comes in different types of forms . example ; loving someone in a normal way , loving someone as friend and loving someone so much that we would sacrifice for them . we were given a simple task to just go home and ask our parents or gradparents what they know about love . before i forget , we were told to write a poem or a letter to our loved ones and write lyrics from a love song . 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 .
