First, the instructor introduce to the lesson by gave us to write my feeling as a child. Then the instructor let me put a cross on line in the circle, at an appropriate point, to show how my felt as a child and join the crosses with a pencil line. After that compare the picture with my partner and talk about similarities or differences in my childhood memories.

Next, the instructor described about narratives that have Text organization and Language features and gave the example of narrative.

Last week the instructor assign us to read the story “ Secret ” but everybody in my class didn’t read it.

 After that the instructor and us read the Secret by Tim Winton in part one. It’s about a young girl called Kylie who feels inadequate and lonely by her mother’s lack of care and love and missing father figure in her life. Kylie is having trouble dealing her parent break up, she doesn’t know why her dad has left.

Later, the instructor let us to work in groups of 5 people and assign us to analyze the story and complete the summary of the first part and add three fairy short sentences. After each group  present the their summary.

Next, the instructor assigned us to read the second part of the story and do homework in page 57.
The problem that I found in this class,
- Some verb phrase  and vocabulary that I don’t know
- Using incorrect grammar
- Analyzing Text organization
 

The way solving the problems,
- I can find the meaning of the word by using dictionary.
- I can check correct grammar in the internet.
- I have to read the story many times.
Learning in this time I felt happy because the instructor was very kind and gave good suggestion for work.

After that the instructor gave us to work in groups in 5 people for helping  write a recount.

My group wrote the recount in story An extreme holiday at Central Salaya that was story about went shopping 

and did activities in holiday with some friends. When we had finished the instructor gave us to present about our recount. Later, the instructor gave the sheet narrative and assigned us to read the Secret.

Course introduction

I had a discourse approach in reading class.

This is my first class of this semester. Instructor of this course is  Asst.Prof.Usa  Noytim.

Before we started the learning , the instructor asked us to organise  the classroom in two semi-circles. After that  instructor introduce the course ( e.g.  course  description , aim , objectives , content , teaching and learning  activity , evaluation  and assessment , learning  materials as well as 5 domains of learning )  

We learn about discourse  markers and do the worksheets.  And the last, instructor reflect learning experience on weblogs, give a list of discourse markers for learning myself  and assign us writing weblogs every time that we learn this course.

The first time , I feel  worry about  this course  but   when I started learning for a while. I feel better and enjoy the course.
