Reflection 2

8 August 2014

     Today, we were doing a group work during the English lesson. After we got into groups, we started to decide on which myth we are going to choose and we did a mind map base on the myth that have been chosen and presented it to the class.

            From today’s lesson, I have understood more about myth after the presentation. A myth is usually related to the religion and culture of different race, different country and places. Different people might hear different ways of myths because everyone tells the myth in different ways. For example, from what I have read about “The Midus Touch”, the King touched himself and he became gold too but from the story that I have presented today, the King did not touch himself but he touched his daughter, Princess Zoe.

            Today’s lesson is very important to us, because it could help us to have a better understanding on what is a myth and how is it different from a story. A better understanding can let us to feel easier in the upcoming lessons. I am going to use what I have learned today in the future lesson by transferring the knowledge that I learned on the group works or individual works that we are going to do.

            From today’s lesson, the myth about Zodiac is the most interesting to me story among the all myth presented because I am curious about the origin of zodiac when I was small. There are so many zodiacs in it and why is rat the first? This myth is very interesting because the zodiacs are very clever. Some of the animals in the zodiac are very good to their friends because the ox and horse helped their friend during the race.

            The IB learner profiles that have used during today’s lesson are communicator and knowledgeable because we communicated among the group mates while doing the group work and we understand about the myths that we were going to tell before we did the presentation.
