oh what a night!

I hope you guys had fun last night, those of you who came. Zaki you owe me money. Here's a nice picture for you to enjoy:
















Okay, I'm kidding. That's not really a nice picture, though I did want to share it lol. Here's another one:


Thanks to Minnie and Cedric from 4E5 for taking the group shot!
Anyway, I have settled your tasks for our class play. There are discussion threads in the Asknlearn Forum "Othello" for actors (A), sound+lighting (SL), marketing+publicity (MP), makeup+costume (MC) and props+set (PS). The people in charge are marked with -IC.
Here are your tasks as follows:
1. Linda - MP, Ushering-IC
2. Celine - MC, Ushering
3. Nur Shahirah - MC, Ushering
4. Patsy - PS, stage crew
5. Quraisha - A
6. Michelle - MC, stage crew
7. Siti Shahirah - MP-IC, Ushering
8. Kelvin - PS-IC, stage crew
9. Danial - scriptwriter, MC-IC, SL
10. Syazwan - A
11. Amanda - A (Emilia)
12. Shu Juan - MP, Ushering
13. Sarah - A (Desdemona)
14. Greta - MP, SL
15. Fatin - PS, stage crew
16. Khairiyah - MP, ushering
17. Devi - PS, stage crew
18. Zoey - A
19. Hong Yang - A (Cassio)
20. Mervvyn - scriptwriter, A (Othello)
21. Ashik - PS, stage crew-IC
22. Zaki - SL
23. Zhi Wei - SL-IC
24. Zane - scriptwriter, A (Iago)
Deadlines!
Scriptwriters: 5th June, 2359 Singapore time, the script has to be in my inbox. You have my email, msstraatenrocks at g mail dot com. The time is recorded so don't try and be funny. Once I have approved and sent back the script, you need to disseminate to your classmates so they can get to work.
Marketing and Publicity: You don't need the script to start brainstorming for ideas. Think especially how we can solve the problem of the budget. Costumes can be borrowed, set and props can be loaned to some extent, but there will be things that need to be bought. Do look into it. Think also abt the ticketing and how you intend to push the play to the rest of our school. Remember, no one knows shit about Shakespeare (hey, that actually sounds kinda interesting), plus everybody hates Lit for some bizarre reason. So you really have to work.
Okay, I have to vamooze now. Leaving for airport in 1.5 hours. Bye people, have fun. See you on the 18th!
Love
Ms Straaten

since asknlearn is so stupid

I'm going to give you a list of detailed instructions.

1. Log in to Asknlearn.
2. Go to the Lesson tab. It's on the right of the page, somewhere in the middle.
3. Under 'Latest Lesson' you should see something called 'Unseen Prose' with my name there.
4. Click on it.
5. There should be a document attached to this lesson, called 'draculaexcerpt1'. Download it.
6. Click on the 'Unseen Prose Quiz'. If you cannot find it in the lesson, or worse, you cannot find the lesson, go to the Quiz tab and look for something with my name on it. Take the quiz and submit your answers.
7. Next, click on the 'Unseen Prose Forum'. Again, if you cannot find it in the lesson, you can find it under the Forum tab. Read the document that you downloaded and answer the questions that I have posed in my post. Answer the questions as a forum reply.
8. Now you need to go to the Homework tab (cos bloody ^Y#UI&*(#&^@ Asknlearn won't let me upload the homework to the lesson) and look under Latest Homework. There will be another 'Unseen Prose' thing there with my name on it. Click on this.
9. The homework comes with a second downloadable document - 'draculaexcerpt2'. Read it and answer the homework questions. You need to submit your answer through Asknlearn, not type as a Word doc and attach (because that way I cannot mark using the function in Asknlearn).

If you have any problems, you have my number and my MSN. Good luck.

P.S. I'm counting the marks for this, so please make sure you and your friends all do it. Thanks.

lit supplementary

Alright, tomorrow's Lit supplementary will be in the form of ELEARNING. Yay!

Anyway, the lesson will be available on Asknlearn between 9am and 11am tomorrow morning. I will set permissions for you all to view and take the quiz and homework, so you can take the two whole hours to do it, although I think you will need only one.

If you have problems with Asknlearn, I will be online and you can contact me through MSN (fangsgiving at catholic dot org).

Have fun!
