When I first read act one scene two, I did not understand most of the words they said. However, when Mrs Woo went through the original text with the class, I could understand the text a bit better. Some words or phrases in the original text were not what they seemed. For example, "two spent swimmers" is used to talk about war not swimmers. In my opinion, this phrases are the words that makes the text difficult.
When me and my fellow classmates were divided into thirteen different groups for our skit on act one scene one, I was feeling very nervous that I would mess up the play and ruin my groups performance. When I got to know my group members, I was relieved that one of my friends was in the same group as me. Mrs Woo said that our performance would be after the term one holiday which gives us plenty of time to study and memorize the text.
In groups of four, Mrs Woo asked us to share the sentences that we were suppose to come up with. We agreed that our sentences were good and that we would not change it. When Mrs Woo said that the comic strips had to be handed in next week, I was shocked. My drawing was really terrible and I was really worried that I would fail. I decided then not to worry as if I put an effort into my work, Mrs Woo would certainly see that I had put in effort into my work as she is a kind and understanding teacher. I was really eager to see some of my friends work as some of them are really good in drawing. In conclusion, I think that this lesson is very fun and interesting and I would really love it if we could do this kind if group work again.
