LDV reflection (3rd May 2004-16th May 2004)

Sheela Anastasia Salleh

Assignment, assignment and more assignments had been clogging our minds this fortnight. With datelines for Social Studies and Numerical Literacy in tow, it seems that I’m wishing I have 25 hours in a day.

These two weeks, we had been focusing in the topic of environment and many activities focused in this topic. For example, we had been doing an activity from the course book about birds in danger. Taken from the course book, this activity required us to read the text given and to answer the questions given. I think this activity had attract my attention as it was fun and it had also made me aware of the disadvantages of tourism as the text was about the threat faced by the birds in Hawaii. Never before I imagined that wildlife are suffering in that paradise island.

 Other than that, we had also participated in an activity which required us to sing. As I aware that the class loves singing, I think many of us enjoyed it. Once again, the activity focuses on the environment. The song sung by us was actually the famous ‘recycle’ song. Here, my listening skill was put to test as the song was very fast and it was very hard to catch the singer was singing about. After a few repeats, I managed to get all the correct lyrics. The activity was fortifying as other than improving our listening skills, the song had also taught us how to recycle and care for the earth.

In the other hand, one more mind fulfilling activity we had been doing was an activity in which we are given a scenario in which a woman have worked in a pet shop that actually selling illegal wildlife. Here, we had discussed whether she should report it to the police or keep quiet. We were also enlightened about the possible consequences of her actions.

Join now!

               In all, the activities we did this fortnight had make us more aware of the environmental issues and it is amazing that even tough we had been studying this issues for more that 3 months now, we are not bored and there still many things we do not know! It seems endless.  I hope that we will learn a lot more not only about environment but also other topics in LDV!
