Predictions. This word makes me wonder about the days of my grandparents when their predictions were true which resulted in people believing in them. I for one think that they are just nothing but plain strories and lies(sometimes illogical). I mean no one can tell the future! Well, not one that I have met before.. Anyway, I fully do not believe any predictions at all made up by people. Although some may be true, I don't think people have special powers or anything but I think they were just lucky at that point of time. Some people might believe them but in the modern days, I think fewer people would still think that it is true. Based on my experiences, predictions happen in my everyday life. For instance, weather forecasts in news. Although this is a prediction, I do not entirely think it is fake though as most of the time they are true. During the lesson, I enjoyed myself thoroughly with the presentations of my classmates with each of their experiences. With Mrs Woo's number selecter, it is possible to keep everyone awake and ready for the lesson! Thank you for another awesome lesson. No suggestions for me now.

I have learnt to project my voice when speaking in front of my classmates. I also feel it is important to portray emotions and feelings during performances like the MacBeth scene acted out in class. For example, the witches' scene is best to be acted out in the tone of the witches themselves. It should not sound monotonous all throughout the scene. I think being expressive is a significant aspect in performing be it in front of your classmates, on the stage or at public. It is more entertaining to the viewers than a boring tone. For the superstitions lesson, I think different people has different perspectives about it. I have learnt to respect other religions and the superstitions they believe in. We learn to understand the diversity of races in Singapore. I think it is crucial not to humiliate or discriminate them to sustain a multi-racial life here. I look forward to the next Literature lesson as this was more interesting than the cinquain one.

I have learnt that a cinquain is a five line poem with the title at the first line, which consists of one word. Line two has two words of the description of title. Line three has three words that tell the action. Line four has four words that express the feeling. At the end of the stanza, the fifth line is a word that recalls the title. I enjoyed the lesson very much as I have learnt a new style of writing a poem. Also, Mrs Woo gave a helpful example so we could get the idea of how to construct a cinquain poem. I got to experience writing one with my group before doing it myself. I feel that there should be more examples as the notes handed out only listed one.
