Reflection (Week 3)

P.s. We all chose week three as that's the only time we had group work and not only some normal lesson, and we all paid 100 percent attention to the teacher!

During CID, we were asked to describe our school environment in 4 words. I thought for some time and finally decided on the word: dull. I just felt that most of the people were too cliquish and never bothered include everyone in one activity. They were all only willing to stay in their own cliques, not wanting to step out and include more friends in their activities. Many will think that my view is wrong and negative, but this is simply my subjective perception of the school environment. This perception of mine can easily be changed if only they had been more inclusive of everyone. If only. During the lesson, I learnt that when writing blog, we cannot wrote it like a boring narrative story, but add more feelings.

During CID, our teacher gave us a huge piece of majong paper and post it notes for us to discuss on the environment of RV. Personally, I think that RV has a nice and quiet environment and could not understand why some of my group mates said that it was "boring". (WHY??)After listing out a few words, we classified them into two categories, "Negative" and "Positive". After discussing further, we were asked to present to the class. During the lesson, I learnt that when writing blog, we cannot wrote it like a boring narrative story, but an interesting journal, or else the reader will end up giving up reading it.

During the CID lesson, we discussed as a group about the environment in RV. We came up with two negative and two positive words that best describes the environment in RV. They are cheerful, calm, dull and stressful respectively.
During the lesson, I have learnt that when looking at photographs, we need to have some analyzing skills. Not only it has to depicts facts, but also emotions inside.
My friend, Leonard was foolishly playing with his basketball in class. Our teacher did not really care about him until when our classmate was presenting his words, he accidentally dropped it on the floor. The ball bounces off the floor and our teacher quickly confiscated it. Leonard was very stupid and I could not stop my laughter for a while.

CID was fun. We discussed about the environment of RV. I could only think of very negative words of RV, such as boring, noisy, full 'hatred', tired... However, my group mates didn't wrote all of those down. They are 'goodie goodie' people. Finally, they wrote cheerful, calm, dull and stressful, grouped under positive and negative. I thought that it should be grouped under lies and truth, shouldn't it? During the lesson, I have learnt that when looking at photographs, we need to have some analyzing skills. Not only it has to depicts facts, but also emotions inside.

During the CID lesson, we all discussed about the environment of RV and wrote ouranswer on . To be frank,I don't know how to answer this question. It's too suddenfor me... Interesting? Nah, it's quite dull and boring. Stress-free? Nah (again), it's very very extremely stress-FFFUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLL!! Leonard 'helpfully' suggested noisy, tiring, etc. I wanted to say,"Thank you ah, Leonard, but can you give positive stuffs?" Finally, we decided on cheerful, calm, dull and stressful, grouped under positive and negative. Leonard wanted to group these under truth and lies, he felt that negative was how he truly felt about RV.

During the lesson, I have learnt that when taking photographs, we need to frame the objects in our photo. for example, we will place our subjects at the intersection of the thirds and we will create an interesting composition.

                 “PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOTHING”

This is a quote by Henry Cartier-Bresson we learnt. I thought this might spark some thought. Sometimes, we became so bogged down in 'looking for pictures' that we forget about being in the moment and enjoying life.
