Reflection...Again...oTL

WEEK 4

Let's see....
I'm supposed to do an entry titled My Family this week but I already covered that last week that's why this blog is so quiet this week. Going to be busy again next week with a new entry titled My Friends.

So, on last Monday's Multimedia and Web class we were presenting a presentation using Prezi about types of essay.
Everyone needs to choose one type of essay from what was given in the first class. 
There are narrative, descriptive, process, cause and effect, compare and contrast, and argumentative essays.
I choose to do a cause and effect type of essay because it seems like an easy type of essay.

I wanted to do the narrative type in the first place but I realise that many of my coursemates will be doing the same so I switch to another type of essay. 
I said this, because narrative is a choice to many people when it comes to writing an essay and with that assumption, I just knew that many people will be doing a presentation about it.
In order to avoid a clashing with other coursemates' presentation's content thus making the class boring because almost everyone is doing the same type of essay presentation, I decided to change and choose others.
Cause and effect essay is the second choice if I were to choose between other type of essays.

I'm not the type to be the first to present something. 
Even though I've finished the slides earlier than everybody else, this doesn't mean that I want to be the first to present.
I let about half of the class to present first before deciding to present mine.
And it was after I was referred to my lecturer and after the 5 mins break.
Thank you for saying my name before you went out for the break, Madam Nadiah. If you didn't, I wouldn't be presenting my slides that day, so truly thank you.

As I predicted, many of my coursemates chose narrative essay as their presentation topic. Heh.
It was a boring one because many of us talks about the same thing and duh...narrative essay. It's like the easiest essay in the world. Although I agree that there are people who can't do narrative at all but why can't they choose other type of essay? Be adventurous a bit here. We're just doing a presentation and do an essay sample for it. We're not going to write it for an examination so do other type of essay for a change.

I wanted to say that to their faces but I did not dare because I was retreating to another easy type of essay too to avoid the clashing, so I'm not worthy of saying it. 
I wonder what was going through my lecturer's mind during this whole class with almost everyone doing the same type of essay in the presentation.
Must be boring.
I'm sure many of my coursemates were also thinking the same thing. It's boring.
If it's not, then why there were people who were talking among themselves, finishing their Prezi presentation, browsing the web, looking through their Facebook and even playing games and not paying attention to the presentation?

Even I find it hard to pay attention to my friends' presentation especially the ones doing the narrative type of essay presentation but at least I tried to pay attention to them. I'm sure many of us were also like that, struggling to pay attention to the presentations.

All in all, I don't think it's a bad class. While many of us choosing the same type of essay, there are also others choosing other type of essay to present. The one I remember the most were Andy's presentation because he was the only one doing descriptive essay. I think he was the only one. I don't really remember but yeah, I guess. His presentation using pictures really grasp what is a descriptive essay and I'm happy for it. Someone finally doing things differently! That's what I thought at that time.

Stay awesome Andy!
