Narratives
We started class with discussing with partner about the lesson we studied last week in a minute. Then the teacher let us checked answers the assignment with my partner. After that she reviewed the lesson is "Factual Recount" and explained the text which was assigned to do as homework last week.
Then,the teacher taught the new lesson was "Narrative" she began this lesson with showed the detail in the PowerPoint before gave the handout. She let us to describe the sentences and read the text was "Secrets" from the PowerPoint.
We studied about "NARRATIVE" Do you know exactly? what does it mean.
Well, it means like a story or recount of events, experiences, or the like, whether true or fictitious such as a book, literary work etc., contain such a story. The basic purpose of Narrative is to entertain the reader's interest in a story. The author spoke or wrote account of connected events for the reader to understand the emotions and images of the story which the author wants to convey.
Next, she gave the handout with us and presented about new issue which is "SECRET" for today by giving us to make a cross in circle diagram on page 52 on each line to show what we feel. Joining the crossed with a pencil line, then we had to discuss with our partners why you chose like this.

Later, we read the text which is "SECRET" by skimming first. Then, we used language features in Orientation.
The story is about Kylie moved into her new house with her mother and Philip who now is her step father. Her father and her mother were divorced or separated. Her mother didn't pay attention to her. She had exploring the yard and found an egg in the yard at the back of new house and now she kept it as her secret.
Kylie was dubious because she always noticed small details of people's appearance. She got up onto her neighbors' yard. There was fence which hens and roosters lived. Later, she saw rooster pecked and twisted hens. It made her angry.
Sometimes in the afternoon, she saw raggedy hen and her slip between the pickets to escape. Her secret became bigger everyday. When her mother and step father wouldn't be, she was happy. She sat on the fence, sharing the secret with hen.
Philip had shown Kylie and her mother about the bore well in the back of the yard and told to her that not to open the lid of the bore well but she did. Later, she looked on her photo album, missed her father and wanted to live with him.
After we had finished reading, the teacher gave us to answer the question from this story and add three fairly short sentences on page 55 as our homework.
1. Why did Kylie feel lonely?
Because her mother and step-father weren't interested to her. They always let her alone.

It's time to ask question 
What did you learn today?I learned about Narrative and read the story which is "SECRET"
What did you find easy?In my opinion, Analyzing language features in Orientation is easy for me.
What did you find difficult?In my opinion, this story is difficult as a result of its vocabularies. However, I tried to use the strategies that I obtained from last subject,English Reading Strategies, to read with it.
What did you solve the problem?I tried to pay attention in the classroom and imagine the image of this story that the author wants to let the reader know.
What are your attitudes towards the lesson?I think that this story is difficult as a result of its words. Students haven't to stop reading when they find unknown words. They need to use the strategies in reading and practice to read more in order to understand and analyze the text as well.
