Wow! This is the first time I’m writing a blog. How cool is that? I never really imagine myself writing a blog but here I am, WRITING A BLOG! Okay, let’s proceed to the core business.
I’m writing this blog as a requirement for the subject of EDU 3217: Teaching the Language of Drama that I’m taking this semester. During the first class session, we were required to answer several questions on ‘point of view’ (narration). I got really stunned and shocked because I don’t expect our lecturer will give us a test on our first day of class. Furthermore, I kind of get short-circuited on receiving the question paper. This is the result that you get when you study or revise just to pass your exams. Serves me right! I am quite grateful though because after several minutes of pondering, I managed to recall some bits and pieces on what point of view or narration is about. Although I did not manage to recall all of them, I am still able to answer the questions given. This test made me realize that I’m not suppose to study or do my revision for exam purposes only, but I need to learn anything (especially literature) by heart so that I will not easily forget.

Hey, Shazni! This is also the first time I am writing a blog. That is why I do not know whether to write it long or short. Some of my friends commented that my blogs are too long. Well, it is true. Next time, I will write shorter and not to be so long winded.
During the first time in class, I was also surprised that Dr Edwin gave us a test whether we can remember the literary elements. It really requires us to reflect back on what we have learned in order to scribble some answers on the paper. It is just like a set induction to us that we need to open our prior knowledge, the correct file on the first day in order to attend this drama class for the rest of the day. It is a good opening session for us rather than when the terms are mentioned in class, our mouth just leave wide open and do not know what are these literary elements. Through the test, it alerts us to be ready for the drama class and other literature class in this semester and in future.
