Reflection

Looking Back...

I'd never thought learning could be this enjoyable. The past two semesters with Mrs. Alxen was stupendous. Our first semester was all about Oral Communication, here we learned how to be an exceptional speaker, as well as knowing the different types, and parts of speech. This semester was actually cool because here we divided into different groups, and we would always report about the topic at hand. Then after reporting, we were required to do a play presentation where each group would be given a chance to enact the examples of speech, as well as giving each group member a chance to show their acting skills.

 It was fun i tell you, i enjoyed seeing my classmates show their funny side, and at the same time their true personalities. I also remembered watching the movie titled "The Great Debaters". Me and my group mates watched it together at my house. "Who is the judge? the judge is God! Why is he God? Because he decides who wins or loses" I simply adore that quote from the movie. But who could forget about the job fair? Here we were given an opportunity to make our own company, and even recruit our classmates though a job interview. It was a heck load of experience, and loads of fun altogether.

Second Semester was purely based on write ups and outputs. We learned how to paraphrase, summarize, and even criticize. We also learned about the difference between biographies, and literature's. Basically, this is where we learned how to do professional reading, critical reading, and many more. Even though the write ups and outputs nearly kept us busy, and even stress out, i enjoyed it. Lastly, i want to give thanks to our teacher Almira Xenia Cunado, or Ma'am Alxen, for teaching us how to speak effectively, how to learn effectively, and even write professionally. In the midst of all the stress, time, and deadlines (Not to mention quipper) It was all worth it in the end. I'd also like to thank my fellow group mates, and classmates for the fun and cooperation, as well as the laughs we shared together. Who knows? Maybe we'll all be great speakers, and writers someday, It's just a matter of time, and practice. Power.
