First Entry - First CL's Class & Critical Ice Breaking.

Date : 13 January 2010 - Wednesday.
Place : K-Broadcast, Library KPMIM.
Time : 11.30 a.m. - 1.30 p.m.

Today, Miss Shazwani enter my class for a first time and it means that Critical Literacy class for this semester is officially started. Firstly, she create a good atmosphere in building the chemistry with the class members by recognizing each particular person in the class. For me, it is important to build the chemistry with the class lecturer as i think that it will help in our studies in the future. I also have asked some seniors about this subject and they find it quite difficult because it needs us to think critically about something. So, I am sure that having a good and nice lecturer will help to enlighten our difficulty to study in this subject. Next, she admit herself that she never teach this subject before but she will try her best to teach and guide us through this challenging subject until the end of this semester. After that, she tells us the rules in her class.

After that, she also brief us about what we will face throughout the semester. It also includes the briefing about our upcoming assignment and it's percentage. During that session, she also introduced us with the text book that we will use. As expected, in this first class, she is not going to give us any lecture. But, she is making an Ice-Breaking session, but also related to Critical Literacy. We have to divide ourselves into two big groups and after that, we have to select a person in the different group and we have to explain what we know about the person we have chosen. To make it more interesting, or to kick-start our critical thinking, Miss Shazwani asked us to pick a shape to symbolize or describe the person's personality. The shape that we have to choose are triangle, square, circle and wavy line. Each person in the group have to make sure that we do not take the same person in the group.

As for me, I choose my friend, Atikah Hani binti Yaacob during the session as my subject. She is one of the closest female friend that I have in the college, so, I guess I know a lot of things about her. I describe her from what I know and I explain it briefly so that everyone can know about her. There are also some things that they didn't know about her. I pick triangle to describe her, as i said it symbolize scarf - her stance, tissue - her inner feelings and peak of a tower - her determination. Suprisingly, she also pick me as her subject. Specifically, all the things that she explain about myself is accurately true. Every members in the class also enjoyed the session so much as we can share our thoughts and opinions about someone else in a creative way.
