it's story time!..

This week we had a discovery of very promising story-tellers! And who could they be? (drum rolls...) None other than Teresa and Catherine!

Monday. Teresa was obviously nervous for her presentation. She even came late just to make sure everything's going to be alright. And yes it was! Everything went absolutely fine as she delivered the adventures of Winne the Pooh. She used picture-in-sequence technique. I was really fascinated by the presentation because I never thought Teresa to be a humurous kind of person. But during the presentation I wasn't able to help myself but laugh. The activity was also motivating since we were given prizes! LOL! All in all, Teresa did a great job. Brava!

Wednesday. Catherine was supposed to do her part but Sir Tantoy wasn't around for some reasons unknown to us. Sounded as a blessing in disguise for Cath so that she can make her report "bongacious". As of my part, I just used the time propagating my mini-business of selling sweets and other delicacies.

Friday. Cath's moment of truth! She managed to deliver her part well. She also used picture-in-sequence method. The story Pippi Longstocking was hilarious! I can't imagine seeing a girl like Pippi. But I kind of saw someone like her way back when I was a little kid. Anyway, I was motivated by the activity since it was a game in which two groups were formed to answer the questions. I was the one given the job to answer the last question in our group. It was "Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Ephraim's Daughter Longstocking". The other group was declared as the winner due to Marvie's lightning speed. But we later on discovered that they got an error somewhere. So, it was really our group who deserves the winning prize! Urrghhhhh!... ( gikaon na rabas pikas grupo ag prizes, maajo gani naa pa nabilin kay kung wa...nah..mag-rally jud ming Cath2x..hihi..) In the end, it was a well-done presentation. Cath deserves a cheer!

Watch out because more story-tellers are bound to execute their skills!

Til next time!

God bless!

a week of hurdle!..

Its a wonderful day! Although its a little bit rainy, I'm still glad since I got the chance to surf in the net. It just completes my day!

And now I'm here to relate my encounter in Children's Lit. subject. This week, as what my title shouts out is a week of hurdle! Whose not afraid of Midterm exams?! Well, I am not one of those "cool" students. Whenever exams are fast approaching, I just get pressured. And because of that, I really am worthy to be entitled as "Most Naning". And this week just proved of my another "naning" moments. In ChildLit, we only had Monday as the day for review prior to the exam. But we had an activity for Charlotte's Web. Pamela made us complete a picture puzzle. Anf the Wilbur group, our group, turned out as the winner. It was so funny since the Charlotte group complained because it was difficult for their part since it was a web. Hahahahah! I have nothing to say for that. Anyway, nobody complained further when Pamela gave us each a Curly Tops chocolate. Hehehe. ( chocolate ra juy katapat oi! )

The exam was just alright. It wasn't a piece of cake but it didn't break my head either. Thanks God both movies were memorable. If those weren't, then I have no idea how on Earth would I be able to answer those questions!

That would be all. Thanks for reading my blog!

God bless!

Some words...

Aloha!..

I'm here in front of the computer screen, trying to figure out some words that would somehow make a sense. I must really, really think fast because the timer is moving and I must pay for every second of the time that I'm going to spend here.

And now, some words are starting to appear in my mind..words which goes this way...

ChildrensLit has been so much fun and cheer this week! And why wouldn't it be? Pamela's report which was all about Charlotte's Web was made into a film showing! I really like the story! It brought me pain in my stomach due to extreme laughter. It also brought me a bucket of tears due to some dramatic moments. I can't help but laugh at how those farm animals were communicating. It led me thinking that perhaps, animals are indeed speaking unto us but we just don't know how to listen. Or worse, we just don't like to listen.

I admire Charlotte's bravery and loyalty. I hope I can be like Charlotte. Uhmm..no, of course I don't want to be spider! I love being human! What I mean is.. I hope I will become like Charlottte in terms of her attitude in friendship and in every relationship. How I wish I can find someone like her. Well..I think I've found the 'Charlottes' in my life. I just wish that they would stay forever and ever.

Uh-oh! I must not forget that I don't have all the time in the world. I've got to go!

I hope you found some sense in these some words of mine.

God bless!

ChildLit..impressions..

Another sem. has opened and new subjects are ready to attack us!..hehe.. Well, I think this "impression" blog of mine about this subject is a bit late but just let me express it anyway. I am a self-confessed book-lover, story-lover since the world begun. And this subject has more than ever inspired me to this kind of love because of its nature. And more than that, we are given the chance to hone our story-telling skills which is a vital quality that a teacher must possess.

So far, this is a fun subject! My assigned topic for the upcoming oral presentation was "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien. Our instructor allowed us to borrow the books for our assigned topic in their "majestic cabinet" / the ENGMASOC Collection. During the Christmas break, I indulged myself into this book. And I really enjoyed it! It's as if Tolkien has brought me to Baggin's adventures too. And now, I'm into planning as to what should I do with my presentation. Uh-oh! This sounds another mountain coming up...but, I know I can flaten this mountain by God's help. Char..hehe..

And this week, our instructor allowed us to read a story by Edgar Allan Poe entitled "A Tell-tale Heart". It was a group activity too which made us gave our own outcome of the story. When I read it, I can't describe my feelings. It was a sort of "dark" and "gothic" which really gave me goosebumps. It wasn't eerie or scary on a brutal way but somehow there's a sense of darkness in it. Funny thing is, I can't afford to get mad at that killer guy. In some way, I felt a sense of sympathy too him. E. A. P. is a weird kind of writer, I can tell.

We also had a film showing of the movie entitled "The Bridge to Terabithia". I thought it would just be another fantasy story/movie. But it proved me wrong! In some ways, it brought out the child in me. I remember that I was like those two kids some years ago. I was like imagining things and putting them into writing. But somehow, as adult life approaches, I sometimes forget these seemingly childish-stupid ideas/imaginations in my head. The movie reminds me to continue what I once started because eventhough this world is a big bang "REALITY"...I think it's good to have a sense of fantasy and illusion sometimes for it somehow makes this slippery world a better place (at least in my mind).

This has been the busy bee's activities and impressions in Child'sLit.

See yah when I see yah!
