Hey e2s

As promised, some online revision before the test tomorrow. Sorry i wasn't able to put this up earlier. Do me a favour, spread the word around and try to get your classmates to come on to read this by today. Thanks and all the best for the test!

Common test 2 - Situational Writing (Informal Letter)
Duration - 45 minutes

You were told prior to the test that the letter will be based on literature text Red Sky in the Morning, meaning you would have to use some facts in the story to write your letter.

Planning - 1) Recall what PATF means (check EL file for past examples), 2) Make sure all points given in the question are addressed (remember that good planning rewards you one bonus point)

Writing - 1) Do not waste marks on format (Address, Date, Salutation, Closing), Structure of letter (Greetings, purpose, points, closing)

The key is to really assume that you are writing to a person and not just writing to pass a test. Show the marker that you understand the requirements by not just inserting facts but also personal comments and thoughts. Remember to include appropriate greetings and closing thoughts. Again, refer to past examples.

Checking - Not the most important of all but definitely helps you gain many valuable points. Check for good paragraphing, good tenses, accurate spelling and punctuation.

A lot to digest here. Take your time. And most importantly, during the test, relax and do not rush into writing. Good planning makes better writing.

Tada! today we have a new classmate :)
i didn't really get to talk to her, hahas.
to me, i think our teachers didn't give her good impression.
that's so sad.
teacher didn't inroduce, and just let her sit behind.
i was a bit shocked?
i thought it was suppose to be a nice day for her. *sighs*
kk, what mindmap we suppose to do?
is it counted for marks?
when is the due date?
when is our common test?
ohhhhhhhhh!
e2, the literature blog has been created.

MEISHAN,

Dear e2s

thank you those who posted entries. ;-)

the following are names of students who have yet to present: hoski, jia le, cheng xuan, rendy, luqman, william, afiqa, lian hong, nur afiqa, zhi xin, hiang xin, chen yew, cheng xuan, genewaye (let me know if i missed you out)

jeremy suggested putting up the top marks for show and tell here. i think it's a good idea. so when everyone is done presenting, i'll do just that. in the meantime, please be good and do the necessary preparation.

hw for today: research on any festival, do a mindmap and be ready to share it with your classmates. bonus points for those pretty mindmaps

so glad monday's over

Hey e2s

Nice showing today! I was really impressed with ching ping's hidden talent. And i'm sure you all agree with me that Ben P did a better job today. Kudos to 1E2 once again. So to the rest of you, standard has been upped once again. I urge you to really prepare your speech and avoid the mistakes that your friends have made the past few sessions. These include not having enough eye contact, reading from the cue cards, not speaking loud enough and not having enough content. All the best to my brave warriors coming on next.

Here's the list of presenters on Thursday
Meishan, Hoski, Jeremy, Yoong Jin, Greg, Zheng yang, Liyun, Charmaine, Diane, Rendy

Ms Lim

p.s. some of you didnt show up for the 'photo shoot' today. please bring your items tomorrow, okay?

hey e2s

just want to congratulate those who did show and tell today. i can see the effort you ppl have put in especially the girls who came with cue cards. it's been good so far and i am eagerly awaiting someone who can topple vanessa's high mark (18/20). for the rest of you who have not presented, please do come prepared. i want to give you good grades, but you need to work hard for it. with that said, best of luck to those presenting tomorrow. do not disappoint.

ms lim

p.s. forgot about handing out worksheets in class earlier. shall leave it in my pigeon hole outside staff room. do help yourselves. chocolate frogs still up for grabs.

hey there again

did something quite silly earlier. posted the entry on your original class blog. cannot really remember what i said in that post. i think it's probably just one of those greeting posts. anyways, can we have more to post here instead of just rambling on at the chat box? need not be official work stuff but bear in mind that there should not be vulgarities or anything that may hurt another's feelings?

already feeling the monday blues
