Yesterday the students did their presentations for the character they had chosen from "To Kill a Mockingbird". I have posted two of the powerpoint presentations below.
I must say that everyone did a fantastic job. I'd like to thank all of my students for their hard work this term. They had to watch a movie and read a novel in English and then prepare their presentations. So, it was a lot to do.
Aw,Fai and Ging got very passionate when talking about the treatment of Tom Robinson in the story. You could feel that they really cared about this character.
Kantong, Earth and Nam introduced us to Scout,the young narrator of the story and even though they hadn't done this sort of thing before they produced a wonderful piece of work.
Ying, Pid and Namcha showed us their powerpoint on Atticus, who was played by Gregory Peck in the movie, and whom they had all fallen in love with. Ying told us a heart-warming story about how she had read the book with her 80 year old neighbor, who had lived in America for 40 years, and remembered it all like yesterday.
And finally, Nu, Jeab and Juice produced a very professional presentation on the character Jem, Atticus's son and Scout's sister.
All in all I was bowled over by how good everybody was and how everybody really took to the book, and found a meaning in it for themselves and for society as we know it. It seems that perhaps we have lost a lot of bad, but we maybe have lost some good as well. Or maybe nothing has changed at all and that's what makes this story a classic for every generation.
