Microsoft Publisher

Assalamualaikum & hello guys...

This is my 10th reflection and in today's class we learnt about Microsoft Publisher. Personally, I found that this programme is very useful not only for teaching and learning purpose but we can also use it in our daily life. In fact, almost everywhere we go, we will find at least a small piece of written form that related with Microsoft Publisher. For instance, browser, pamphlet, poster, name card and others.

For this task, we have to do it as a pair work and my partner is Nur Safrina Abu Bakar, my permanent partner:-) However, each one of us has to come out and create our own masterpiece of name card, book cover, poster and pamphlet. Plus, we also have to create a news letter according to our own topic and creativity. For this task, we have to work in a group of 5 and of course the group must mix races and gender. So, the group members for my group are Nur Safrina Abu Bakar, Azliza Ramlee, Rimala, Siti Suhaili and me. Our group choose to create a news letter about cooking. Our target readers are our own friends in our cohort.

Honestly, this is the first time for me to create a name card, pamphlet, poster, book cover and news letter on our own. At first, I feel afraid that I can't do this task. However, with my friends' support and their giudence, I finally manage to do it. This is show that group work and team spirit are important. As a group, we must always help and support each others. Since we are now stay in college and far from our family, we can only count on our friends for support, comfort and help. We cannot live in this world all by ourselves. We need family and friends to accompany,
protect and support us.

Assalamualaikum....

How is everyone now?I know that everyone is busy completing the 2nd assignment right?

Actually, this is my 9th reflection. This week, me and my partner, Nur Safrina Abu Bakar, are struggling to finish our second assignment. To make it easy, each one of us pick a particular video clip. For example, I get the video clip of the 'Earth Song' by Micheal Jackson. So, each of us has to work on the video clip in order to make sure that we can use that particular video clip for teaching and learning process in the classroom.

Basically, what am I doing with the 'Earth Song' is, I take a look at the video clip. After that I try to figure out what is/are teaching point (s) that I bring out from that video clip. Besides, I also have to look up for CS. This is a challenging task for me since I have to make sure that the lesson plan that I have created by using that particular video clip is beneficial to be used in the classroom and it also beneficial to the pupil.

Honestly, I still in the process of finishing the assignment. I try my best to finish it on time. Hope ma'am will like it:-)
