blogs...

It was a real disaster for me when I started my first blog. Anyway, things were so much easier after that. In fact; I started to enjoy blogging and reading other’s blog. A special thanks to our lecturer who had made the blogs as one of the requirements in this course. Blogging actually helped me in many ways. It is a way of being reflective. Studying is not merely reading books and answering test papers. Reflection is important to make sure how far we have learnt and understood what we have studied. Blogs regarding this course had helped to know how people think of plays and the issues in it. Everyone has a different way of looking at things.It was very apparent when I read my friends blogs as all of them have different perception on the same topics. All of us were dealing with same topics but none of us have the same idea on the topic. So, it is clear that blog guides us to be different from the other through the way of our thinking. We look at things from different perspectives thus we have different things to share about in our blogs. Reflecting about the plays through blogs encouraged me to enjoy reading the play. My focus has shifted from reading for exam to reading to appreciate the newness in the play. It was enjoyable to reflect about the issues in the plays to what we see and do in our daily life. I really love my blog on Teiresias. I would apply blog postings when I am a teacher because I realise blogs are a way to express ourselves. Students who are quite in classrooms may have brilliant ideas in mind. Blogs would be one of the best ways for them to show their creative thinking and application skills. Literature students should always be reflective in order to love literature.Blogs gives birth to a lot of reflective thinkers.So, I think it should be something familiar to all the students.
