In Literacy this round, we are studying old English and root words. My favorite root words lesson so far is “Express Yourself”, which is about Dict, Scrib/Script, and Graph/Gram. My favorite word in this lesson is calligraphy because calligraphy is one of the activities that I used to express myself when I’m bored. Besides learning the root words, we also have different activities such as reading articles about William Shakespeare, and we did a video which we choose our hero and create a fake exhibition plan. Early before we doing all this practice we also draw a picture and turn it into a mini personal narrative which I chose to do a poem.
This is my personal narrative poem:
When I was in government school I hate drawing
I thought that it was easy
But no, not even a piece
Even a mini sketch of an ant
One day, there was a drawing teacher
He asked us to draw anything we want
I tried to draw but it destroyed all
And I wonder who created drawing up
5 minutes more he said
I was praying and trying
God, please help me I’m stuck
But there is no luck because I have to try
I opened my eye and saw four colors near me
There are green kiwi, blue, brown, and golden sun
I grabbed one by one and drew it all up
And finally, I did draw something
I drew a refulgent ocean
With sun nearly set into the deep tenebrous water
My wig flew away like I’m on the top of the world
My first drawing ever has visible
Drawing is not that hard
As we open our heart, the thing will get better
Just try and stay patient
The quiet gift will give you soon.
“How you draw is a reflection of how you feel about the world. You’re not capturing it, you’re interpreting it.” -Juliette Aristides
