PUNS AND WORDPLAY

A prelude to Week Two's lesson :)
Please read Act 2 Scene 4 of Romeo and Juliet
I will go through the scene with focus on the language and the puns/wordplay in it. 
Have a restful weekend!

The Mushroom                                                                               
A mushroom walks into a bar, sits down and orders a drink. 
The bartender says, "We don't serve mushrooms here."                                                                                         The mushroom says, "Why?! I'm a fun guy!"



Puns Contest                                                                        
There was a man who entered a local paper's pun contest. 
He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

THANK YOU!

First session for Term 2 worked out well. 
Thank you to the 25 students who logged in and helped move the discussion ahead! 
Could not have done it without you :)

P/s: Those who attended today's session, (Kailing, is it?) could you email me the 6 pages worth of discussion notes that you took down, please? When the system ended the class, it closed all the whiteboards we used and I didn't get to record anything we discussed at all :(

Thanks again everyone!
Love,

REMEMBER THIS?


Date chosen for Sec 4s: 19th April 2012
Sadly, tickets for the 18th are no longer available. 
Alternatively, you may wish to attend the show on the 24th April, on your own. 
I'm excited about the show :)
Check out the trailer here

Please submit your names to your Lit rep before flag-raising tomorrow morning if you are still keen on going. I understand that some of you have indicated that you would rather go on the 18th. Do decide if you can join us on the 19th instead :)

Do note as well that once you submit your name, you will be made to bear the eventual cost of the ticket. 

Hope to see all of you there! :)


CA1 COMP4 (LAST CHANCE)

Dear S4s

The ClassMarker task above will remain open till 1am, 23 March. 
I strongly suggest that each and everyone of you give the test another shot unless, like 
Ong Rui Zong of 4CR, you have scored 46/50 :)

I will key in the marks for those who attempt the quiz before this final deadline. 
Those who do not bother will receive a ZERO grade for their efforts. 
Please remind all your friends and classmates to get it done.
Thanks! :)


Love

WELCOME BACK :)

Dear S4s


I trust that you have had a relatively rested March holidays and are ready to come back to school for the last few weeks before Prelim 1 :)


I've uploaded the slides for CA1 Comp3 (Essay) de-brief into the Repository on School Portal. Please find some time to look through the slides and see if you have any queries or clarifications to be made. 


Do continue to work hard for all your subjects. 
Approach your teachers for help.
Have faith in the reward for resilience.
Trust your abilities.

My bounty is as boundless as the sea, My love as deep; the more I give to thee, The more I have, for both are infinite. (2.2.16) 

Here's to Term 2 everyone! See you! :)




Love
Ms.Annisa

ONLINE SESSION @ WiZiQ


Dear S4s
I've scheduled a session on WiZiQ to finish up the de-brief for the essay on Lord Capulet. 
If you are keen to attend the real-time session instead of merely waiting to print out the slides from the School Portal and reading it for yourself then do sign up for the class.

Signing up is simple and painless. All you need is:
1. Your name
2. A working email address 
and
3. A password. 

For the session, I will only be activating audio so you will also need:
  • A headset/earpiece/earphones to follow the session.
The online de-brief session will start at 7pm, local time, tomorrow (Friday, 09 March) and will last for about 60minutes

Please ensure that your parents are aware beforehand that you are attending an online session so that they can give you some time to set up etc.   

You will be able to join the class even when the session is under way. Better late than never. 

If all goes as planned, you will be able to ask me questions (via pm/chat function) and it will appear on everyone's screen. 

Fingers crossed this works!


@GheyKachu aka Hendry of 4BN
for helping me with the trial run!
(Sorry to make you watch the clip!)
lol

See you on WiZiQ! 

Love
Ms.Annisa

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! (WILD RICE PRODUCTION: ROMEO + JULIET)


Dear S4s

The teachers are keen to bring the Secondary 3 and 4 Literature in Englishs students to the play, directed by Ivan Heng, on either the 18th or 19th of April. We will likely be attending the matinee show (afternoon show) which will start at about 3pm.

I would strongly suggest (short of making it compulsory) that you attend this play and watch as the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet come to life. You may wish to browse the information on the play here.

If we order tickets as a school, there will be a discount from the original price of S$39! :)

So, keep the date and post a reply (fast!) with your name and class if you wish to attend the play.

Please reply by 5pm, Wednesday, 07 Mar 2012.

CA1 COMPONENT3 (DEBRIEF)

Dear S4s

Handouts for next week's debrief are already up on School Portal. Please ensure that you do the necessary before you come to class next week.

There is quite substantial ground to be covered in Wk 10 pertaining to the essay and so I will not be slowing down for people to copy off the board. If you complete the handout given, I promise that you will have an easier time following what I go through in class :)

Happy Friday in advance, people!

Love
Ms.Annisa
