Term 3 Week 6

I know it’s quite late since I have last posted, so I am just going to write down what I remember.
Monday: So we were still on the last scene of “Are you lonesome tonight?” and so we were discussing on how drugs affect not only you but the people around you as well. It was sort of a “Say NO to drug” week and it was also relating to Elvis taking drugs so I think Mr. Chua decided to cover on the story of a boy named Jack and how drugs affected his life. Each of us got a copy and read it together. Mr. Chua decided to test our reading skills and how loud can we project our voice since we went for the debate course. Thankfully, I was not called but some of classmates read really soft and most of us could not hear. This shows that they are really shy or they are lazy to read and don’t went to project their voice loud enough for the class to hear. Well the story was about this boy, Jack, who was curious about drug. He thought there was no harm in trying and that he can stop anytime. But guess what, he was soon hooked to drugs and could not stop by then it was too late. The drugs had taken control over him and soon Jack craved for more like he was a young boy craving for candy. And the story goes on to explain the effects and how it affects everyone. The campaign slogan this year is “Life Does Not Rewind” meaning there is no turning back. Once you have started taking drugs you can’t stop and the affects can be deadly. This was what we covered on Monday as lesson time was short.

Thursday: it was quite an interesting lesson this week I had so far. We covered “The Mighty Mandarin” all in one period. We were divided into different groups and we read different characters. Our group got Sung the Mighty Mandarin. What’s funny is that when it got to the three brothers Ching, Chang, and Chung it was like a piano. They sat to stand really quite and sit so the next brother could stand. Anyway, once we finished the play, Mr. Chua gave us two worksheets one is to fill in the blanks and second is a piece of blank paper to draw the set of the Mighty Mandarin. And soon the lessons ended as per normal. We didn’t do much of thinking but we still had o think on how to draw the set.
Well this was this week’s entire lesson, can’t wait for the next.
