The Personal Response section of this term's assessment for English takes up 20 marks. You will be asked to write your Personal Response for one of these three stories: The Pelanduk, The Dyke or The Five Brothers. You have to learn all three and answer according to what is required. The question may be phrased is other ways, for example,
- Who are your favourite characters in the Five Brothers and The Pelanduk? Why?
- Which is the most exciting parts of the stories, The Pelanduk and The Dyke, and why do you like them?
I have given out the Personal Responses for all 3 stories which I believe will help you to do well. As this is an open book assessment, you are allowed to have your book with you when you answer the question. You are allowed to underline, highlight and make notes in your books. However, you should NOT copy out all the sentences into your book or to attach any pieces of paper onto the pages.
Make use of the book and your own handwritten notes in it to help you "memorize" all the 3 personal responses written for you. If you do not like what I've written, you may write your own personal responses but PLEASE ask your parent to help you write them so that there will not be any grammatical or structural errors.
This will be tested in Week 7 (National Day week). Thereafter, you will have to present one part of your Personal Response in Week 8 and 9. This will be done in front of your classmates during the EL periods. This will take up another 12 marks. For the presentation, you have to show that you are prepared and have rehearsed properly.
Refer to the Rubrics on how you will be assessed. Remember to show this to your parents too.
