Learning Log 2

During the lesson on superstition and presentation of Macbeth (act 1, scene 1), I've learnt a lot about superstitions that I had never heard before. They are, for example, do not wash your hair before a test or you will forget everything you had studied. I do believe that superstitions are not true, but it is alway better to be safe than sorry. I did not think of why superstition and Macbeth are related. But after the lesson, I learnt that perhaps Shakespeare wrote Macbeth with 3 witches is because they believed that there were witches all around them. It was also fun when 3 of our classmates were chosen to portray the witches as it was hilarious to see them pitch their voice really high. I had also managed to recite a few lines of those witches like " Fair is foul and foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air". I think that this lesson can be improved if everyone can research on more numbers of superstitions and we can learn more about it, especially ones that are around Shakespeare's era to understand his plays we are learning

After the lesson on Cinquains, I had learnt another method to write literature. Cinquains are special to me as it is very interesting to write a Cinquain, like for example, "cinq" means 5 in French, but in those 5 lines, there are only less than 5 words in each line and in each line there are some rules to follow. During literature lesson, I enjoyed it very much as I got to see other group's Cinquains and interact with my group members in order to create a good Cinquain. I had fun during the lesson as my group members and I thought of ridiculous ideas and themes for the poem. I liked the number selector especially as it creates a lot of suspense. As for improvements, I suggest that everyone should do different Cinquains so that there are more varieties.
