Song is always the best thing for me… I love to sing and dance… No doubt, this week lesson is so interesting and I love it much. As usual, we were asked to sit in our group and start to come out with a lesson plan using song as our set induction. After struggle several song and several poem, at last, we decided to use back our old lesson plan. My group chooses to use. The necklace and the song “Love Story” by Taylor Swift to teach the plot since the whole song is about a love story of adolescence. By the way, we really enjoy our presentation part on Thursday. This is like a MTV session where song and lyric are given and we can sing along with them. By the way, as we are using the same song with others people’s group, we doesn’t mean to do so. But, it come coincidentally, and because we presented on the last few groups, people like not satisfy with it. This makes me sad! Everything is just so coincident! Our activity, I feel is great. As students to watch the MV and after that, a word sheet is given and they were asked to sequence the event chronologically. Then, after they have finished doing the pre- reading, a while reading activity will be carried out. The same thing they need to do, the entire story pictures are provided and they are asked to match the storyline with the picture. The pictures are all colored and thanks to Yin Chean and Sapphire for helping me out in doing this when we were doing PPBK last few semester. It was awesome pictures. At last, I think our activity is related to our song and I think if this activity is carry out in class, students will love it.

jiwsaw reading
I did have a great time in today’s class. 6 October2009. Miss Dzeelfa gives us the marks of our course. It shocked me when I got to know that our project paper actually contain 40% of 100%. That is why it makes this paper make us so tired. We need to do so discussion with our lecturer and write a few drafts before we hand up our paper. Today I look at Martin Luther King, he is so noble. He speaks in front of 200, 000, 00 peoples telling them he has a dream. I have a dream… It was so great. I admire him. Then, we are assigned to go into our group, and distribute few pieces of papers and from the alphabet of the paper; we need to go into our expert group. By the way, this is a jigsaw reading and we were divided into our expert group and discuss about what is the content of the paper. After that, we were asked to join back our previous group as we need to tell the story in our paper to our group members chronologically one by one by our group members. Miss Dzeelfa has write some questions on the board to guide us to the flow of the story. It was a great lesson as I enjoyed it much. I love to listen to story and I love to tell story. In my opinion, I think this is a very good activity as students will be interested in it at the same time they have the chance to speak and to listen to their friends. Each and every one of them can share their opinion in the discussion and I think is fun. Besides that, it really encourage me to read and tell the story when it is my turn to speak. I love ‘The Ballot or the Bullet’. It is interesting. The white always make their false hope and I think is time for the black to stand…
Presentation- Speech
1st October 4, 2009. Today is our presentation day. We had assigned to do find our speech written by those politician and present in front of the class. No doubt, everyone has done a great job. But, in my opinion, due to some of the group didn’t do their work in power point, they just read from the text, I feel like this is a boring presentation. I don’t know what their talking about. Besides that, I admit that I seldom read about politic. I don’t know who is Indera Ghani. I feel like this is a great opportunity for me to look into the weakness of myself and start to read about more and more about politic. Although is boring, but, it is good for us to know that happen in this world. Thanks to the entire presenter that do. I think I do learn something.

Indiara Ghani
Speeches can be used as a teaching aid. Like what Miss Dzeefa say, the audio recording of political speech can be listen by students and through listening, the key message can also be the lesson of the class. Students also can use the text to highlight the speaker point of view and the speaker’s style effect the messages. These lessons can benefit the students. Students can expose to politic and history and at same time understand issues champion by the speaker. However, in my opinion, I think that speech is rather more difficult to teach than a usual text because speeches involve emotion and tone. Sometimes you may misunderstand the meaning of the text and miss interpret the meaning of the text. We are assigning to find the purpose, the main point, and the writer personal points of view in the passage. Luckily we get the speech: what educated woman can do by Indira Gandhi. I was assigned to do the main point of the speech.
