the chronicle of Hang Tuah : the new Prince Of Persia

as we have our reading today,,we learnt about new topic that is MAIN IDEA..

main idea of a passage or a paragraph tells you the general idea about a topic..

for me..this topic is quite difficult as we have to find the main idea which is sometime hidden..

we also have to use our own word..

when looking for main idea in a passage..we should list down the :

1. topic

2. main idea

to enhance our understanding..we did have some activities on this tpoic..

Miss Zu played a video then we have to list down the topic and the main idea..

this topic is difficult for me..

so..i think that is all for today as i want to do some revision on this topic..

and one more important thing is,,Miss Zu is no longer angry..

today was the worst day ever..Miss Zu are very angry with us..it is started when we tell her that we could do the presentation on last introductary paragraph today as some of our group member are not coming today..they involved in the sending of memorandum of peace at Putrajaya..Miss Zu said that she don't care what ever it is, we must present it today as she said that we should have a back up plan earlier..for example..each one of us should have a copy of the introductory paragraph..then the presentation is started..the level of Miss Zu anger increase as the first group work is not very well..worstly..she said that the essay written by  the first group was the bad essay that she ever read..then, she ask the group to get rid from there..then, she ask my group to present..my group essay is not good as well as the former group but it is much better..Miss Zu helped in correcting some  part of our essay..i feel glad that Miss Zu ask us to make a copy of our essay and distribute it to each group..she said that our grammar is bad but we do apply the correct technique of writing essay - ( 1) intoduction - hook, transitional sentence and thesis statement 2) body paragraph - topic sentence : topic and controlling idea, supporting detail and concluding sentence )..i do appreciate the cooperation given by group members especially Ujang, Amy, Izhan and Apis..

 

..the lesson continue..

the lesson for the topic sentence was continued today..and not forgotten, the introductary paragraph that we have done last week also continued tooday..yesterday, Miss Zu asked us to bring our laptop as we will write whole paragraph on the intoductary paragraph that we have done and apply what we have learn in it.. but, our group have to rewrite it as Miss Zu said it is not that good..so, today we have the new intoductary paragraph on the gender issue..while completing our essay, Miss Zu came and reprove on our grammar..ah..we all bad in grammar..but Miss Zu said that the new introductary paragraph that we write is much better..( "_ )

at the end of the class..some conflict occur..Miss Zu seem so disappointed with what has happened..
