Opinion on live stage
A few days ago, we have done some live stage performance with our partner. Some of us had picked randomly by our lecturer, Dr. Edwin to perform it in front of our class. It is so exciting because everyone had their own style in acting. We had to act based on the extract Bingo, by Edward Bond. We were free to choose our own style during acting and the audience had to predict where the place was taken and who the characters were. Are they close friends, or foes, or family, or etc.

Blog 3 : Reflection on selected poems
Reflection on selected poems
As I read the poems Macbeth by William Shakespeare, The Four Ages of Man, As You Like It, and Oedipus Rex, I found that there are some differences among them. For example, in Macbeth, the poet perceived his life as an actor. On the other hand, in As You Like It, the poet perceived his life as a man. The Four Ages of Man and Oedipus Rex has the similarity where the poet faced a lot of challenges and conflict in their life. All of the poet has different perception of life.

Blog 2 : Reflection on the handouts
Reflection on the handouts
A few days after we start our class for EDU 3217, we received handouts to guide us for this subject. The handouts are about drama and theatre, and there are many subtopic included. The handouts really help me in understand the subject better. This is because, the handout’s details are arranged and there are spaces provided so that it is easy for the students to write additional information. Besides, we can prepare before entering the class by reading the handouts first.
The handouts are very user friendly because there are using point form and simple sentences. So, it is easier to understand by read the handouts compared to read the book.

Blog 1 : Reflection on ‘Point of View’ exercise
Reflection on ‘Point of View’ exercise
On the first class of Teaching the Language of Drama, I was very shocked that my lecturer, Dr. Edwin gave us as exercise. There were several questions about ‘point of view’. I didn’t expect that he will test us on the first class of this subject. The first thing that I expect he would do is discuss briefly about the course outline, nut I’m totally wrong.
It’s quite difficult for me at first to answer the questions because I haven’t prepared my mind to answer the questions. In addition, I didn’t do any revision regarding that topic. However, after a few minutes, the idea came. I managed to recall some of the information, and thus answer them.
From my opinion, it’s good for the lecturer to give such this exercise, without telling the students first. By this way, the students will always prepare and not study only when the exam is just around the corner.
