Week fourteen – Final exam and portfolio!!!


    

Week 14th is the final week for this semester. We have come to this week after we have learnt many new and useful things throughout the whole fourteen week. As we have learnt many things, this week is the week where our knowledge will be tested.  The exam consists of four questions on what we have learnt in this course. Overall, I am satisfied with my answers.

For me, the questions are more to critical thinking and application questions. We have to think deeply on how we are going to apply the teaching materials that we have learnt in order to English language. For example, there is one question that we have to write a summary about a story about animal story, a legend, a myth, a funny story or folklore since Malaysia has many kind of stories. Before choosing the story, we have to consider its suitability for students in primary school. Then, we have to design a storyboard for the story in preparation of animal video. Here, I have to think quickly and not to forget to make sure it is suitable for children. I choose The Hare and The Rabbit because I found that it is suitable for children as this story is about two animals who are want to race in order to find who is the fastest animals in the world. I realized that it is not easy to choose suitable for children as we have to consider the suitability of content, the teaching point that we want to teach them, the familiarity, and the moral of the story and so on. After this, I will try to be more critical in order to choose the best story that can make them to acquire more knowledge especially about English language.
