Learning Log 2

Demonstration by peers:Though the lesson is enjoyable,but it's being repeated.Two weeks ago's monday lesson,we had demonstration on Macbeth Act 1 scene 1 but we had the same lesson two weeks ago's wednessday lesson.It's not easy if you go up and act as the witches.Most people will be embarrased to act as the witch as the witch's voice sounds funny and they would be laughed at classmates.

Discussion on Supertitions:I had learnt more supertitions I don't know from other people in my group and they are interesting.Though,the lesson was being repeated just like Macbeth Act 1 Scene 1.Last week's wednessday lesson,we got into groups and had the discussion on supertitions,though we haven't present due to lackage of time.This week's wednessday's lesson we got into groups again,though different group and had the same discussion on Supertitions again and had some presentations.To be honest,it's getting a little annoying as we kept having the same lessons over and over again...Here's what I should be presenting.

a)If a black cat crosses your path,you'll have bad luck-Black cats have often been considered evil.black is the colour of evil,and cats are synonymons with witches.If a Black cat crosses someone's path,it creates a line of evil that you will have to cross to get past.

b)Walking under a ladder brings bad luck-Once upon a time,criminals were hung from ladders set up against the side of a buiding or wall.The triangle shap that was created was believed to make a door to evil of hell.Pushing through it brought that evil over the person and brought them bad luck.

c)Break a mirror and have seven years of bad luck-It was believed that mirrors contained a person's soul.If the mirrror is broken,the persons's soul is released from the body,which is a good reason for bad luck.

d)Protection with salt-Salt was a precious and expensive commodity a long time ago,and because it was so important,it was given magical propeties.

e)If you find a four-leaf clover,you will have good luck-As four-leaf clovers are extremely rare,it it believed that if you ever find one,it will bring you good luck.

Presentation on supertitions:My group did not get to present as there's not enough time.By looking at other group's presentation,I learnt many more supertitions that I don't know.

Overall,the lessons are enjoyable but it will definitly be better if the lessons are not being repeated anymore as it had been repeated twice and I think that's one of the reasons why our class are way behind others.
