2nd Class
Today is the 2nd class for us in Resources' Course. Pn. Foziah gave a brief explanation about what type of task that we are require to do for this entire course. There are 5 module that she will be given to us. As I listen to her explanation, I realize that there are a lot of work to be done. Looking at the size of the portfolio that she' shown to us give me a big picture on how important it is for me to be prepare mentally and physically...hehe. Since the portfolio will be evaluate, I won't take thing for granted and will work hard in preparing it. Besides that, another thing about today's class is I identified one of the skill that I'm lacking in, that is 'typing'. Pn. Foziah told us to improve our 'typing' skill by practicing a lot of time. She even demonstrates to us the right body' posture when typing that is to sit straight. As the new beginner like me, it is difficult. But I'm sure, with her guide, I'll be able to master the high level of typing skill in the end of this course. Overall, today' class is interesting for me!

1st week
Hey guys..
We had our first resources class today. Frankly speaking, I did not know what to expect. Would our lecturer be fierce? Soft-spoken? shy? (hehe..) But I think Mdm Foziah was the one who was surprised. It seems we could be heard from the 5th floor :-S ("err, is that even possible? Maybe, considering that there were about 75 of us crowded in the small waiting area!")!
Soliloquy: Hmm.. she looks very fierce. Aiyo, please don't let her treat us
like kids. I have had enough of that at the other side.
My lecturer, Mdm Foziah, is a nice person (:-D). I could see that she was very open-minded and could put herself in our shoes so she understood what we liked and disliked. However, being the lot that we are, we didn't respond to her on certain occasions and this got her a little but overwhelmed. (Not to worry Mdm, it time you will see that we are actually the most boisterous lot you have seen).
For this first lesson, it was sort of an introductory lesson as Mdm Foziah did not want to bombard our brains with all sorts of stuff. She too was tired as she had just finished a project which she had been workin on for some time. She briefed us about what the course was going to be about and talked to us about how she wanted the class to be. Gentle but strict, that Mdm Foziah.
We were let off early but we had to get some things done:
1) To install Photoshop CS3 into out lappies
2) To get ourselves an 8gb pendrive to store all our documents
3) To create a blog where we could talk about our experiences in the course.
I'm glad that whatever doubts I had were vanquished (so to speak hehe..). This course would be one filled with fun and exploration. Even my lecturer was not the grumpy and fierce kind. I thought that this was just one of thosw courses that taught you how to MAKE or FIND resources for the classroom. I'm happy it's not!

Hi Everyone! PEH080024 Maher Vann Singh
First up, let me tell you that this blog is mainly for me to talk about using and developing different resources to teach English in the classroom.
It's also where I reflect on the lessons; about what I like about the lessons and what improvements or suggestions I have regarding the lesson.
I know the blog doesn't look that much now, but give it time. I'm sure it will look amazing with time.
