FINAL REFLECTION ??!!

This is supposedly my last blog for this course ‘teaching the language of drama’ and there are still a lot more that I want to share with others about this course. Erm..well, I still can continue blogging if I want. Frankly speaking, I enjoy blogging very much because in some ways it can release my tension, create my confidence, develop my critical thinking skill and the most important thing is I can share ideas with my friends. It is really great!
As for this final blog of this course, the first thing that I need to say is that I really enjoy studying this subject – the lecturer is fantastic, the input that I get is really useful for me as a preparation for the next semester course –THEATRE. The most memorable assignment that I had done is writing the script for a short play which really taught me on how to direct a play. The cast, stage direction, the sequence of scene – it was not an easy task to complete this assignment. However, it was an enjoyable moment when we were trying hardly to complete the script.
Today, I have done my simulated teaching and the feeling was like throwing a ton of rocks away from my head. I have tried my best to prepare the best activities for the lesson and hopefully I can get the best mark also. Well, this simulated teaching is really helpful for me as a future teacher. I cannot imagine how it would be if I am really in the real situation at school. I can feel how difficult it is to handle 45 students at a time with various attitudes. Fuhh…Do am I really going to be a teacher? Yes you are! Come on..this is what we call as challenges. Teaching is a noble job.
Other than that, the most memorable moment I have experienced in this course is the meeting with Kee Thuan Chye. He is a creative writer and I really admire his work in the play ‘the swordfish, then the concubine’. However, the meeting was really swept away my respect towards him. After meeting him face to face, I found that he is not really a good writer. He was really obsesses about his politic view and this has made him as an empty container for me.
The last thing that I want to mention is that, our beloved lecturer Dr. Edwin is not going to teach us anymore after this as he will move on to a secret place which we don’t even know where it will be. It is something dreadful for us since we know that we are not going to have another lecturer as dedicated as him. We will miss you Dr. Edwin!!!!Waaaaaaaa!!!
One more thing…for those who will miss to read my blog after this, you can still visit my site since I will keep blogging to share everything with all of you!
