Once Upon A Time At Mercusuar Senior High School

Once upon a time... One day, and they live happily ever after...
Are you familiar with these expressions?
Yeah, they are always found in narrative; fairy tale, fable, legend etc.
the lady shepherd and her sheep

During these couple weeks, we have been studying this topic in semester 5 English class. It's very interesting since everyone loves a happy ending story. But what makes it more interesting is that we can create our own story and express it in various ways such as comic, drama, video, story telling, etc.

The first time thinking of narrative activity, I planed to make them watch a video, analyze the story and then ask my students to make their own narrative story in a video. Yet, everything changed under certain circumstances, and one of it was the simplicity. I thought narrative video would spend more time and energy for preparation while my students do not have plenty time after school as the class for semester 5 always finishes at 4.30 pm and they also have so many assignments.

Due to this reason, I eventually switch the narrative activity to puppet. They just need to prepare the story, write the script, the background and of course the puppet. Some students wanna use dolls and the others try to apply their creativity by exploring their talents in drawing. So I find it more attractive as they can do whatever they want to perform well.

And last Friday was the day for IPA 3 performance. They did it very well. Here are some pictures that I captured during the class;
Group 1 performed the story of The Duck and The Turtle
big smiles.. :D
so seriously performed their puppet

my lovely students in their 1001 actions
This week will be more interesting as the groups that haven't performed will do their puppet show.. I am looking forward to seeing their performance and of course there are always many great things to learn from them..

Happy teaching to all teachers.. Happy studying to all students..
May you all have great classes during this week!!

Stay blessed,

Easter (7 words on the cross)

Today the Christians all over the world celebrate the most important day of our faith story ever after. Why i say it’s the most important  day? Coz i cannot imagine if Christ did not substitute me and you, we can surely know where we’re going today.. “ETERNAL DEATH” i can say it for sure... Praise God MY LORD did it for me, for you and all of us not when we know HIM yet when we were in the darkness..when we were still captivated by this world, HE came and sacrificed HIS LIFE just to set me and you free. So, in this remarkable day i wanna share a little bit what i’ve learnt during the 7 weeks of passion until today. The great lessons i learn are from the 7 words of Jesus on the cross and the greatest redemption He did on the cross. The seven words on the cross I would never ever imagine if i were in Christ position, hanging on the cross, tortured, got mocked by the rulers, what would be the best words i say if i were hanging on the cross? I know for sure, cursing... however The BIB

If "Hot Blooded Woman" was made into a Drama"

"Hot Blooded Woman" Well, I just finished reading a manhwa (Korean manga) that has really stolen all my attention. i ever read it some years ago when i just entered university. Recently i have been curious again with this manhwa so i decided to download it. this manhwa is very amusing.. i bet ypu will laugh loudly like a crazy one and forget all the pain when you read this story.. so just try! After reading, a crazy idea came to my mind; what if this manhwa was made into a drama, who would star it? so, here is my own consideration who is more suitable to play the characters of "Hot blooded woman"; 1. the main character Park Sin Uoo would be very perfect for Lee Min Hoo. i ever thought of Kim Hyun Joong but later i made up my mind as Kim Hyun Joong would be better playing as an angel.. yup, he's not suitable for being Sin Uoo.. :)   2. Kang Ha Ji would be suitable for Moon Geun Young. I felt kinda difficult to find a korean actress for Ha Ji as this gi

When God says 'Not Yet' (again)

 Surrender.. this is the only word that best describes my feeling today. The disappointment might have taken place yesterday but today God has turned it into surrender. I got a new email yesterday from the New Zealand embassy telling me that my scholarship application was not accepted yet. Here's the mail... Dear Haniva, Thank you for your recent application for a scholarship and interest in undertaking post-graduate studies in New Zealand. Although the number of scholarship places for Indonesia has increased, so have the number of applications, and it was challenging for us to have to select only a limited number of these from many often strong applications. In making the selection and shortlisting potential candidates for the scholarship, we had to ensure that a number of criteria which have been set by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) were fully met.  Unfortunately, there were many applications, including yours, that did not fu
