Learning Log 3
When Mrs Woo, my Literature teacher used her infamous 'Number Selector' - which I dreaded the most - to choose my members for the presentation of the three witches in Macbeth, I expected the worst. However,Lady Luck was on my side that day as my partner ,Xuan Yun, was in the same group as me. Ken,too was in the same group . I'm thankful as my group members are those who are quite 'sporting' - perfect for presentation . I hope that all my group members will have a smooth-sailing presentation and none of us will have any problems and overcome our fear of 'stage fright' though I'm a bit anxious for the presentation .
Then it was group discussion on the comic strip we are going to draw on what happened in Act 1 Scene 2. Shi Yao's idea to draw the comic was genius so I used some of her ideas to 'enhance' my comic strip main idea. I didn't know I couldn't draw anything but cartoons until this activity popped up. It was interesting hearing the other group member's main idea of Act 1 Scene 2 . Act 1 Scene 2 was actually about King Duncan being updated about two wars that Macbeth was leading by a bleeding captain . Macbeth won both wars courageously and got the title 'Thane of Cawdor' for his braveness .
About the lesson on Act 1 Scene 2, to be honest, it was quite dry and even after going through the passage, some of my classmates were still blur on what happened in a summary. To me, it takes 5 times for me to read again and again to understand fully what Act 1 Scene 2 is all about . I had to always refer to the modern text as the original text was confusing me a lot . It was a headache at first, but it was a major relief to understand Act 1 Scene 2 by heart .
