I met up with one of you recently at a convention, and apparently you're all in sec three already! OMG, how time flies!

I hope everyone is doing well, and studying hard. Do persevere, no matter what class you got into. As long as you believe in yourself and work hard, anything is possible.

I havent changed my email address. Its still fazylah at gmail dot com, so if you ever want to contact me, do drop me a line.

In the meantime, I have been posted to Admiralty Secondary School, and will be using this LJ to post relevant stuff for my current students (sec 1 lit, sec 2 lit, sec 2 history). Feel free to unsubscribe if it doesnt interest you. (And feel equally free to continue to subscribe if it does!)

Cheerio
Ms Fazylah

 Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begings
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her hankerchief
Quietly turing the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free.
She (We gave her most of our lives)
is leaving (Sacraficed most of our lives)
home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years. Bye, bye

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy our baby's gone.
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me.
She (We never though of ourselves)
Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years. Bye, bye

Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade.
She What did we do that was wrong
Is having We didn't know it was wrong
Fun Fun is the one thing that money can't buy
Something inside that was always denied
For so many years. Bye, Bye
She's leaving home bye bye
 

1)What is cosplay? 
According to wikipedia, cosplay is a Japanese subculture centered on dressing up as characters from manga, anime and video games.  

2) So, I want to cosplay for the Learning Fest. Where do I start?
Easy. You can cosplay any character you want from any manga, anime or game. Here are some simple steps you can follow to start you on your cosplay journey.

GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR EXAMS!!!!

Haha, yes, the MYEs are finally here, and I hope all of you do really well.
*waves pompoms*

Something which I learnt from today: Revision Packs are a Good Thing. I didn't think that you will have so many questions to ask because I assumed that you would have gotten all those questions answered when revising from your English notes and English file.

So for the final year exams, I'm going to compile a Revision Pack for you, so that you can get everything quickly and concisely.

Whatever it is, I hope you do well for all your subjects! We have faith in you: don't let us down, okay! Haha.

Hi, everyone!

Its great to see so many trial posts. *waves*

Remeber to include your views about last week's lessons! What worked, what didn't, what you learnt, what you feel you should have learnt but wasn't taught, and what you don't understand.

Cheers!

Hi all!

Since Ms Fazylah is addicted to blogging, and you guys aren't filling in your English Journals anyway, I'm having you create an English Livejournal instead.

We'll see how this works out.

Obviously, you will need to follow the school rules with regard to online blogging.
1) no bitching about real people [if you do, at least be smart enough to come up with pseudonyms for them].
2) no posting up of embaressing/ potentially damaging material.

MYrules
1) All of you will need to have an lj account.

2) All of you will need to sumbit your lj username to me.
You can use your personal lj account if you already have one and add your English Journal entries to your personal lj, or you can create a whole new lj account specially for the English Journal. Either way is fine by me, as long as i can identify you when you post in your English Journal.

3) For the sake of privacy, you can choose to lock some parts of your journal so nobody else can read it. If you are locking your journal, you MUST make sure that ms_fazylah can access your English Journal posts. (If you are unsure how to go about it, look for me after school with your TPC and I'll show your how.)

4) No matter how "uncool" it is, English Journal posts must be written in gramatically correct English.


5) The English Journal has two components: Lesson Reflections and Journal Writing. Lesson Reflections must be posted at least once a week, and Journal Writings must be posted at least once every two weeks.



Lesson Reflections should include:
a) What you have learnt in English lessons that week.
b) What you should have learnt in English lessons but did not understand.
c) What you think should have been taught, but was not covered in lessons.
d) What you enjoyed about English lessons that week.
e) What you hated about English lessons that week.
f) (optional) complains or constructive criticism about the lessons that week.

Journal Writing:
Journal writing is less structured. It is basically a space for your to express your thoughts about anything in particular. (I will elaborate on this is class)
