We had our first Literature lesson on Wednesday . We weren't quite sure but we followed what had been told . Anyway , Mr Chua ( our Form teacher as well as our Literature teacher ) came in to class and asked us to write each of our name on an ice-cream stick . It was fun though :DD . Most of us decorated it while the others just wrote their name . He then , asked us to put each of our ice-cream stick into a bottle which he was holding while walking to each of our tables . After finished collecting all of our sticks , he then , list down a few rules . It was not interesting though . But , with no choice , we had to listened .
His rules were :
1) Never to add in or take out any sticks from the bottle .
2) When he's talking , he expect everyone to silent their own mouth .
3) Not to interrupt when he's talking .
4) Whenever we are not able to hear , raised up our hands for him to repeat himself .
5) We have to be punctual in the submitting of our assignments .
6) Before he enter our class , he expect us to be ready for lesson by putting our Literature file and the worksheet given by him to be on the table at every lesson .
Well , so far that's what I remembered . After listing down the rules when everybody have fallen asleep , I guess , he asked us to take out a blank piece of foolscap paper . He asked us to do an exercise on Cinquains . We were all blank at that point of time . I was wondering actually . He laugh and teach us what is Cinquains . After 10 minutes of teaching , he asked us to copy an example . Which is a cinquain on our school . It was fun actually . A few minute before the bell rang , he asked us to do a cinquain on ' Me , myself ' . We were all excited . My partner and I , Indra , discuss . It was quite difficult still . Ha ha . What is Cinquains ? It is a short poem which have to be in the middle of the foolscap paper always with at least a shape in each poem . Example -

This is an example of a cinquains . We are not able to repeat any words like play . Once you wrote play , you are not able to insert any other words like playing or playful . This cinquains has a shape of a Chrismas tree . There are many more shapes of designs we can make . First , we have to write the title . The next line , we have to write about our characters . Next , write something with -ing at the back . After that , we are supposed to write a sentence about ourselves . Finally , write other words that refers to the subject . Remember ! Not to use a word twice .
After finishing the cinquain , he gave us homework to do . Which is cinquains on ' Literature ' . We moan at first but , its had to be done . So , we wrote it down on our dairy . The work is to be passed up the next lesson . Pity us ! '___' " The bell rang . We greeted goodbye to Mr Chua and , he walked out of the class .
