Term 1 Week 4

Dear Square Pants Slayers

I am disappointed.... after waiting from Wed 27/1 to today 29/1, I decided I could not wait any more. I have spoken to Petrus and Zach on Monday 25/1, telling them that due to the off day on Wed 27/1, the team has to arrange a time on your own to meet up and discuss lesson 3, then post your worksheet and personal reflection by 27/1 8pm. However, I waited 3 days, and I still see nothing.

Team, the project is 15 weeks long and we have 15 lessons to cover, however, it does not mean that just because a public holiday or school holiday fall on our lesson day, the project is going to extend to 16 or more weeks. Instead, for every holiday that fall on our lesson day, it means that we have 1 week less to meet, but we still need to complete the 15 lessons by hook or by crook!

So when I see you guys on Tuesday 2/2, I'd expect you to have at least
1) selected a project title and
2) listed down some guiding questions
If not, we'd have to do 2 lessons on Tue 2/2 and you know how short that 1 period is..... you'd still need to do homework after Tue to complete the tasks on Lesson 3 and 4. Either way it means working extra on your own, either before or after Tuesday 2/2.

One more thing, till now, your personal reflections have been quite trivial, I could not see from your personal reflections, what you have discussed during the lesson. Did you watch Avatar? Did you see how the lead character, Jake Sully, record his videologue? Note the difference between the content of his videologue and your personal reflection. Our personal reflection serves as a means to document down our discussion of the week, so that we can look back after 15 weeks and recall what you discussed during the lesson. This is especially useful when you start writing your project report. Understand? So I hope to see an improvement in this area too.

Lastly but not the least, Oliver, how about a shoutbox so that we can leave messages for each other?

OK that's all, see you guys on Tuesday!
