Today’s (5th August 2010) tutorial was fun. We had to draw our fable as in comic strip form in a mahjong paper. My group consists of Kirubayini, Adeline, Renuga and myself. Our artist was Kirubayini. Painter was Adeline. The script writers were Renuga and I. All the groups were given 45 minutes to finish the fable but all of us took about an hour to finish it. It was fun to see all the groups taking their time to create a good piece of work.
Our second work on a mahjong paper is to write an essay of 200 words about traditional literature. Our group mates didn’t read up on it before we came to class so we used Renuga’s PDA phone to get the definition of traditional literature. We started off with that definition and used our own words to complete the essay. We had to write an introduction paragraph, three paragraphs consist of the body and the last paragraph consist the conclusion. It’s been very long since we wrote an essay, oh wait, we took writing class last semester. Hmm, it seems so long. Well I am sure most of us have short term memory loss. So it was a nice experience to write an essay and the best part Adeline kept counting after each paragraph. Everyone was sure that the essay would go more then 200 words but I had my doubts.
Again Kirubayini became the writer. Adeline was the counter of the words. Renuga and I were giving idea for the essay. Adeline did give some idea for the conclusion. Our final product was short of 15 words but we didn’t bother much about it because we couldn’t think anymore after two hours of tutorial. This tutorial was very educational because for the past three weeks we played games and watched movie but this time we did ‘some’ work.

I cannot forget this moment.I really enjoy drawing the cartoon strip. Instead of using a dull passage to teach fables or folktales, I think cartoon strip is a better teaching material that can be used in class. It is short and easy.In fact, the pictures assist the students to understand the plot of the fables and of course it will help the students to remember the folktales easily. =)
