- Term 3 Week 7 Learning Log -
Mr Chua did not come for the first lesson, so I will not linger too much on that day.
For the next lesson, though we were suppose to have an in-class essay, it was pushed back due to his absence for the previous lesson. Instead, we were brought to the Indian Corner on the 3rd floor, where we were given a briefing about things we need to take note of during the play. It was interesting to know about all these things as it would be best if we could do the play to the best standard that we could.
Soon, we were seperated into our groups for our rehersals. It was a bit of a mess, as some of my team mates were still unsure of their lines, how to pronounce certain unfamiliar words, and all of the other team mates will have to correct him or her. It was also extremely noisy, making it hard to hear our team mates' lines.
We were later gathered together again, and Mr Chua wanted to show the teams doing Romeo & Juliet how to act out the kissing scene. Since I am acting the Merchant of Venice, I won't explain about it. However, it was hilarious when he got Sean to be Juliet and the entire class was cheering and laughing their heads off. That was most probably because we are all 'dirty minded'... Yes, kids at our age are like that. But many people from other classes were watching as well, expecially when the bell rang and all the students came out from the classes, and sees Sean on the stage with a male teacher practising a kissing scene... Well, okay, no more on that topic.
For now, I will just have to say that was the best Literature lesson ever because of the late comedy at the end. But of course, we also learnt some important things to take careful note of while acting.
