In quarter 3, I learned about Thai literature in the unique style
by working as a group in a big project. Every class, the teacher will assign different roles for us to work on. These roles are presentation group, government group, opponent group and examination group. All of us will have a chance to show our ability and develop different skills through working in different roles.
The presentation groups role is to present the literature in front
of the class. Each group will receive different titles of the literature. My groups literature name is A Man Heart ( ). We can choose different styles to present. My group chooses to do a drama in front of the class to present the story. We practiced a lot for this drama and get impressed by the audience. We try to insert the emotion of the character while we performing this drama to make the audience understand the feeling of each character. We also make a board containing the detail of the literature, including the writer of the literature, main idea of the story and also what we have learned from this literature. In the end, everyone impressed with our presentation. After the presentation, another group will ask a question about the literature that weve presented to test our understanding of the story. From this role, I learned about the many Thai literatures. Not only the one that I presented, but also from my classmates presentation. I also practiced my drama skill and learn to become brave and believe in myself. The most important of all is teamwork skill, we have learned to corporate with each other and to make our goal becomes successful. We cant finish our work if we dont help each other and listen to different opinion.
Next is the government group. We learned about the basic
structure of the debate. The debate includes the government group and the opponent group. In the debate, the goal is to argue with the opposite team and make the other believe that our opinion is correct. We have to support our opinion by finding the firm evidence, example, or try to make the opposite team wrong. In this role, Im the audience of the debate and I listen to different point of view from my friends that involved in this debate. I learned to listen to different points of view and try to analyze the information while listening to the debate.
I involved in the opponent group. At that time, the topic of the
debate is about its better for the parent to give freedom to their children than the parent that create a boundary for their children. Im the opposition group so I have to argue my friend that parent who creates a boundary for their children is better. Ive to search for the information that could support my point and find different reason to say that my opinion is correct. When the debate time has come, I was really excited. The debate involved of six people, three from the government group and three from the opponent group. Im the third speaker of the opponent team. Ive to listen to the government team sharing their opinion first and then I have to raise my hand to argue their opinion while they are speaking. After the speaker of the government group finished talking, I have to sharing my opinion within three minutes and thirty seconds and the speaker of the government group will also argue my opinion. I have to sharing my opinion while trying to argue with the opposite team at the same time. At first I dont think that I can do this, but it turns out that I can do it pretty well. Im proud of myself in the end. From this role, I learned how to search and analyze the information to support my point, finding the evidence and think of different reason to support my opinion, and also have good aptitude.
The last role is the examination group. Ive to create an exam
for the other group to test their understanding according to their presentation topic. Ive learned about the main idea and detail of some Thai literature including the main idea of the story, the writer and many more. From the whole activity in this quarter, I learned lots of thing from it. I learned about different Thai literatures and the detail such as the writer of each story, the main idea of the story and many more. Also, I learned to work as teamwork with my teammate and try to help each other. The most important of all is to believe in myself and do my best. According to the schools ESLOs, this activity teaches me to become an innovative thinker because I have to be creative and original while doing the presentation. It also teaches me to become articulate communicators because I have to tell what I understand to different social groups. Not only that, I also learn to become a leader for the future because I have to build teamwork and leadership to achieve common goal.
