Term 3 week 3 Learning Log

^Monday^

Literature lesson went on as per normal. Mr Chua told us not to refer to our handout about Elvis Presley as he wanted to test us on the Older Presley scene that we go through on the previous lesson. Some of us were called up to answer a few questions being asked by Mr Chua. I was thinking and trying my best to make my own sentence in case I was called up. After that, we were given a piece of homework on 'AYLT' which is to be handed up next lesson. I think that the ‘recap’ session is really useful as we are able to remember most of the story line of it.

^Thursday^

During the next lesson, we continued on 'AYLT' scene 2, younger Presley. This time round, the boys are told to read on Younger Presley while the girls were told to read on Gladys Presley, who is the mother of Elvis. Throughout the whole scene we learnt something new, 'the john' in America is known as the toilet. I think that during the time they are poor as Younger Presley said that there ain't a Cadillac on the block and Gladys said that there's barely a car on the block and they don't live in Cadillac country. I also think that Elvis and his mother's relationship is close as Elvis seems to be devoted to his mother. This is because his mother wanted chandeliers in that house which I think refers to the mansion and then Younger Presley said that "every room, even the broom cupboard and the john and garage too will have chandeliers, open the fridge, little light will be a chandelier". That's it for now. Also Gerry left him and he thought that Redhead wanted to leave him too.
