Tell me about one thing that you have enjoyed about your class camp

Next week, we are going to learn how to write factual and personal recounts. For the purpose of this writing task, could I ask all of you to reflect on your NYAA class camp? Jiawei told me that amidst the frequent fights and squabbles, most of you had a lot of fun. So what had you enjoyed the most during the Secondary Two NYAA camp? In your comments, I would truly appreciate it if you could tell me one thing (just one thing) that you had enjoyed on the camp.

Jacob's Ladder - What is a suitable piece of music to convey the mood of Chapter 1?

Amos, thank you for your reminder on Friday. I had almost forgotten to come out with an entry for Jacob's Ladder.

In this weekend blog assignment, read Chapter 1 of Jacob's Ladder. What do you think is the mood created by the writer? We agreed in class last Wed that the narrative was suspenseful. There were many questions which Jacob had asked but very few were answered.

Therefore, identify the mood of the narrative account and find a piece of music or song on youtube that conveys it (N.B. copy and paste the URL of the video clip in your comments). Tell me why you think your selection is suitable. We would conduct a class poll to identify the most appropriate background music for Chapter 1.

Read on and have a good weekend!
