In the last lesson, I learnt about superstitions. Personally, I don't believe in superstitions, but the older generations maybelieve in them. At class, we discussed that it may be because something happened to a particular person or family when they did something and then, they spreaded the rumours. For example, do not sweep the floor during Chinese New Year as you will sweep away all the luck. Learning about superstitions helps a little in the play, Macbeth,that we are going to act. For instance, witches usually dress in black because they represents bad luck or evil. This is shown when Macbeth died in the end because he met the witches.
For the lesson, I think that it was interesting because I got to hear many different kinds of superstitions when we shared our research with the class. Most of the superstitions were related with bad luck. I wonder why?
As for suggestions, I don't think I have any as I think that the lesson was quite fun, like getting some students up to act as the three witches. I think that my friends were really brave as I would not be able to do it with the whole class looking at me. This also trains up our confidence. All in all, it was a good lesson.

I learnt about cinquain, a five line poem, on the first lesson of literature. The word 'cinquain' is derieved from the French word cinq, which means five.The first line is the title which consist of a word, the second line is the description consisting of two words. Line three consist of three action words while line four consist of four words that describes our feelings. Last but not least, the fifth line consist of a word based on our reflection on the title. For example,
Books
Thick, thin
Interesting,exciting,fascinating
Joy on reading words
Fun
I think that the lesson was enjoyable, especially group work. Group work allows me to interact with my friends and exchange ideas while we discuss about the project.
Personally, I do not have any suggestions for improvement as I think the lesson was good enough. But I think that having more group work is better as we can know each other better during our discussion on the project.
