Watching Movies During Lessons?
Hello to all, my babbling brood!
This is the first entry and the topic for the fortnight is......
Watching movies during English lessons and completing English class/homework based on them is fun! Do you agree? Or do you disagree?
Do write your thoughts in proper English (because I will be reading them and probably respond) and address them to your classmates. You are also allowed to respond to your classmates' comments in a civilised and polite manner. That means no name calling or hard feelings to one another.
We all must agree to disagree.
As all of you have experienced, Miss Ang never takes a simple 'yes' or 'no' when she asks a question. Likewise on this class blog, I expect you to support your arguments. Be it a four-liner paragraph or a four-paged essay, I want your response.
Lastly, if your parents might ask you why is your (pretty) English teacher (ahem) requiring you to blog, please show them this post: -
Blogging is current the technology rage in Singapore (and worldwide) and it is essential for students to be IT-savvy in their work and research in order to be on par or ahead with our fast-paced society. Through class blogging, students are tasked to think coherently and analyse introduced topics before acquiring confidence (and supporting arguments/evidence) to share comments with the class. At the same time, they are given an opportunity to practise and hone their writing skills and grammar as their comments are moderated by the English teacher. Also, discussion of the posted topics in and outside the classroom encourages class cohesion through this form of online interaction.

I agree, as the movies shown during English classes will help us to have a better understanding of the lessons and the language. In addition, it will spark our interest in the English language (and will keep us awake! Haha!).

I agree.Watching movie can improve our listen skill and it makes the lesson more interesting and exciting.And I think the teacher can let us say our own opinion in homeworks.
Of course agree! But depends on what kind of movie eg.? i don't know >.< anyway the movie must keep us awake througout when watching provided it's boring or watch before.

hi Ms. Ang
hmm...I'm quite agree. As long as the movie interests me...hahahaha
For your information, I like action movies. It will make us attracted to the movies and I like the scenes of car pursuiting each other and people shooting each other with heavy loaded guns! I think most of my of the boys will like it too! I don't know for the girls anyway....
I can watch other movies actually...
Anyhow, I hope you will offer more of action movies in our lessons!

sup peeps!
i know this sucks but i
disagree:P.watching movies
in my opinion can make a big influence at certain things.
i suggest we go back the basics
n just flip through those textbooks.miss ang:))

its a musical? i have my sources...hahas. Dont be disapointed Kevin.
Brandon 2E2
i totally agree that watching movies would make the english lessons much more interesting, provided i am interested in the movies shown. i think at the same time it would improve my english language. it would also make me look forward to your lessons.

To ARCHIE:
What's "sup peeps"? I also didn't quite understand by what you mean - "in my opinion can make a big influence at certain things."
Please explain (and leave out the abbreviation [shortform]).
To KEVIN: For starters, we'll start with only 20min of a musical ok? We'll have a variety of shows later on if we succeed in the first one (ie. if you're all well-behaved).
To TINA: Well, I can't satisfy everyone's taste in movies, so we'll see how a musical goes, ok?
hehe.sorri miss ang,what i meant was to say hi everyone(sup peeps).i initially thought the cyber lingo way of it doesnt make sense too:D
Some of us might treat the lesson as a slacking period and some inappropriate scenes might be applied in our life.But i do believe tht movies is a creative way of teaching english:D
Archie.s.a
yeah,i agree movies will make a English lessons more interesting(not that Miss Ang lessons are boring)but can we watch cooler movies like M:I:3,garfield,flushed away....... :)
maybe we should vote on what movie to watch
King Lam, if it was M.I.3, Kevin wont mind having Ms Ang's lesson for the whole day!

I agree that movies would really make English lessons more intersting (not that I don't like English classes :P ) but I would like to recommend(my english very bad)thatwe watch shows like maybe Titanic and Harry Potter :P

To Adriel:
'Titanic'? So we have a romantic here in our midst! That's nice... =)
i agree - it will be interesting to have movies in class as it to make english more interesting and will make people awake when people asleep
hi Miss Ang,
i think wayching movies will make the lesson alot more interesting. i am alright with almost any kind of movies except movies like matrix and action movies(sorry kevin). But i think making this change will keep us awake during the lesson:)
-XoxTessAxoX-
seems like no one agrees with you Kevin...
Brandon
NO HORROR PLEASE!
To Brandon:
No, darling, no horror movies will be screened. I'll be picking movies which would suit to the general taste of our audience.
maybe we should watch harry potter but definetly no horror! or i'll never sleep again!
Maybe we could watch comidy...(once again my english may be very bad :P) thought i dont know many nice ones..but Titanic is really good... I have DVD at home...maybe we could watch freddie.VS. jeason... just kidding :P its horror beyond horror i could bring the Titanic DVD( i so want to watch it with the class :P ...hehe) maybe action movies would be nice...Such as M.I.3 or underworld evolution but its classified M18...can't watch...Brother won't let me... keep all the fun,thriller and horror to himself...so sad that's all folks

Hi children
I am able to access this finally from my table. Can you try accessing and commenting via the school library?
If so, it will be more convenient for everyone. =)
i totally agree. watching movie is interesting then reading from the book. it can help to impore my interest in english and easier to understand better becuase got actions... =]
Elo miss ang and classmates...
i certainly agree! it will be so much fun... as long as the show can give us knowledge...hahas:)
in fact, it can bring us more intrest in learning english...
done for now... reebik!!!Ennis
btw. am nicola (hahaz) =]
pss...Nicola, dont use short form, Miss Ang will get angry. Hahas
hi everyone..
i agree that watching movies will be a good start. i like action movies and movies that make me feel touched. maybe it will also make the lesson lesson more interesting. :)
i ageree with what you people have said and i would also want to watch movies in class rather than to study all day long.
it would be boring if we always study and not doing somthing new.
i suggest that we watch a movie that make us realise how important our studies are and how we should treasure our friendship and so on....
rajiv -_-'''
i agree it will be very entertaning to watch as more things and ideas will be showed to us and we wil learn more things than usual -.- .

I think that watching movie while having english is excellent. Because this keeps us awake when we wants to sleep ,or when we feels bored.But of course the movie must also be interesting and meaningful,or it will be no use.Watching movie during english lesson also encourage us to watch more english shows and improve our english while listening the actors speak good english. "_"
disagree cause it the movie is too BORING everyone might fall alsleep instead of learning !!!
I agree,because it will be more interesting in the lesson.It also improves our listening,expically for foreign students.Movie can give us more impression.But i think we cannot just watch it,we must learn something from it,otherwise it's useless
I agree...as english lessons was somtime boring,but if there's movie,it willl be much more interested!=)
i do not agree because watching movie is waste of time and those education movie ms ang show us is very ...... i did not say ah
Watching movie during lessons?i surely agree n strongly agree n very very very the agree because it is more easy to understand n keep us awake,have more interest in English...
agree...it's because if we learn like a normal class, it surely would be boring(for some lesson)...but if we watch a show and do a class work about the movie surely it would be fun because we get to speak up in class and if somebody fail the assignment surely you can tell that the person is not paying attention in class...and surely watching movie would keep us all awake...
that's all...bubbbye...lenny...
I think that watching movies during English lessons is a kind of way to improve my English skills/standard. So, I agree with it.:)
I agree.If the movis is intresting,it will make us awake and improve our English.We will be looking forward for every english lesson if there has movie to watch...=D
Em... this is Alan , and I agree about da movies . It makes most of da students in our class interested(maybe...I did not say "all",but "most")and stay awake . As for da type of da film to be watch... I think Ms Ang should ask da rest of our classmates what film to be watched . As for me , I like da film...um...maybe 2fast2furius tokyo drit.
Ya. I really agree with all of them. It would be very fun to watch movies in the class as we study everyday and we won't even fall asleep(which i sometimes do)hehe..
It would also improve my english which is very poor and maybe we would even look forward to your lessons!
Himalee,2e2
i totally agree. It maybe very boring during some lessons so it could be a better idea to watch movies.
I agree agree agree because I agree!It is fun to watch movie during lessons as it will be more interesting and enjoyable.I will also have a chance to know more actress and actors in the world.It is COOL!
jasmine,2e2
I agree. It makes the lessons very fun, interesting and enjoyable.
As student will be keen to learn in english not like other subject wanting to sleep during the 45 mintues.
Assuring you that 90% of the students will pass their english with at least B3.
I agree. English lessons are quite boring for me. So i prefer to watch movies than to do some other activities. In fact, all the students wouldn't be sleeping during English lesson.
i agree that we should watch movie. it will be more interesting and we can learn more out of the textbook. in addition, we can improve our comprehension. it can also keep us awake.

i agree. it can keep ua awake in the english lesson. It can improve our language and increase our interest in english. therefore, many pupils will pass their english.
