plain presentation is out!!!!!!!!!


All this time a presentation mostly done in a plain way,some man sit in front of us or just standstill and speech. Well, in one of my classes, a peculiar way of doing it done by my classmates,a role play and I will too as my turn comes hehheheh. It was the teacher’s decision to make our class more fun and exhilarating . too bad I haven’t accessed pictures of them doin presentation, but I will upload em as soon as possible. The topic in the presentation was about the securitizing act done in global environment. As we can see in Al-Gore’s( former US president’s candidate) film , “an inconvenient truth” which achieved an Oscar award by last week, he tried to make an environment issue matters in everybody’s mind. That our planet is in harm coz of global warming ,bla bla bla. One of the man in the presentation group acted as Al-Gore and it was successfully amusing the audiences. While the other man played as a presenter in one famous talkshow in Indonesia, and he made a parody of it hehehhehhe. The famous talkshow is called “kick Andy” and his was “kick me now” lol. As the background they played a snap screen of “an inconvenient truth”. They featured our teacher to play as an expert of the phenomenon. Al-Gore actor also did a speech representing Al-Gore’s actual speech in Oscar. Finally the rest of the class was also participating in question and answer about Al-Gore’s action and his hidden agenda in doing such campaign. We tried to conclude whether it was a politization or securitization of environment issue, and I supposed the presentation worked!!!!! Wat a brilliant idea u got there mate!!! Hahahhhha….it was a different presentation which combining an entertainment and academic analysis. It didn’t strain our mind. It’s a good way of studying. The teacher in this class was one of my favorites anyway. In our former class, he initiated the class to do a ‘learning cell’ in every meeting. It encouraged us to read the nite before and to speak our mind in the discussion the next morning. We were asked to write a resume of wat we had read and to make at least three questions to ask in class. The class were divided into some small groups, and the discussion happened in the group. We were given about 30 mins to discuss our questions and tried to answer them in the group. After the time up, then all questions came unanswered were proposed in class, and the teacher encouraged other group to answer with him to complete the answers. Damn man, it was effective. Long before the semester is done, we have finished reading the whole book and get understood ( I supposed). Wat a good teaching method. The class is not ruled solely by the teacher but us, the students. That’s wat democracy is all about.
