First and foremost....

050109- Today is the first time I attend the class with Dr.Edwin, EDU 3234 Readings and Project Work for Teaching Literature in ESL Context. Just read at the name of this subject make me wonder a lot about what am I going to learn in this subject but one thing for sure that it will related to literature. As for the ‘Project Work’ part, I’m thinking that this subject will somehow similar with thesis that usually the other students’ will have to do during their final year in UPM. Are we supposed to conduct a research? Make a questionnaire and analyze it? Or it is just a normal proposal that we have to do to conduct some activities? There are a lot of questions mingle in my mind.

However, everything becomes clear when Dr. Edwin explains to us what we have to do for this subject. As expected, Dr. Edwin includes the journal that we have to post it online. For this time, I want to make sure that I’m able to post the journal on time because before this, I always have difficulties to post my entry on time just because the wireless connection in my laptop was corrupt.

For next week task, Dr.Edwin asks us to read the story in the modul entitle “The Son of Turtle Spirit” and “Mahabharata” and also google on the net and search for some information about Ovid, Pygmalion and Icarus. I feel that this task is quite easy at first because we usually manage to find the information, but it turns out to be so difficult because he ask to search a painting entitle “The Fall of Icarus” and poem related to the painting. I manage to find the poem but I don’t know how to choose from about 20 different pictures of “The Fall of Icarus”. Lastly, I decided to choose one and hopefully that it will be the correct one. Hopefully.
