REFLECTION: 2nd Week


Second week…more things to share. First thing first; electing the leader and treasurer (and this was where the problem started). Pn. Foziah asked for anyone who volunteered to be the leader a.k.a KK. You know the culture of our polite and shy and humble M’sians, no one wanted to volunteer (including me, I knew I couldn’t). Pn. Foziah seemed didn’t like the situation. Then, she required several names to be nominated. The first name being suggested was Hazwan (or his commercial name, Bahak). Then, someone nominated Faiz. (We took a very long time just to find someone to be the leader). Pn. Foziah asked if there’s other name to be added to the list, then Atikah suggested Dominic. We were very lucky that Dominic volunteered himself to be the treasure. Fuhh!! One problem solved. Next, came back to the leader election. To save the time (that have been wasted), Pn. Foziah made her decision and choose Hazwan. Done! Enough with the election.


I didn’t know why we’re so passive that day. When she asked us questions and hoped for response, we didn’t open our mouths to give feedback as expected that made her blood boiled. She’s so upset. She claimed that it’s because there were more girls (she meant young ladies) than boys (gentlemen) in our class. Maybe… Then she gave us a set of questionnaire to be answered (HONESTLY. I did response honestly, hehe).


Move on to the most important part. We have been introduced to a term; touch typing. Typing without really look at the keyboard and not pressing the keys (letters) one by one (this was what I understood). (But then, I searched for the definition from the internet. 1. Typewriting in which the fingers are trained to hit particular keys; typist can read and type at the same time wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn 2. Touch typing is typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys. Specifically, a touch typist will know their location through muscle memory.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_typing). So, I still didn’t have the touch typing skill as to type, I needed to find the keys and I couldn’t read and type at the same time.


Besides, Pn. Foziah also talked about the blog (she asked us to update our blogs), portfolio (we were asked to compile our portfolios) and the collection of teaching aids. So, after the class I should work on these things slowly.
