Week 3 - I

1:33 AM

Week 3: Monday - 24 Nov 08

Today, I have learned an important topic and lesson ; Juxtapostion.

What is Juxtapostion?

Juxtaposition is placing 2 variables, side by side and their contrast or similarity are shown through comparison.

By referring to Macmillan English Dictionary For Advanced Learners

Juxtaposition is to place things together or describe things together so that people can see how they are different.

The Example of Juxtaposition.

(Picture of the women's body and the pear are courtesy from www.damnilikethat.com/ & www.pbase.com/)

So, what are the similarity that you can see from the above pictures after being juxtaposed? YES! the SHAPE! :)

For this lesson, i would like to use a 'human body' as the sample of juxtaposition.
I have been surfing on the net, and i found something interesting that i want to share with you guys, something creative, something that i never know about it so detail before, and of course, something that we can relate with this lesson which is Juxtaposition.

In this article, these 2 person named Trinny and Susannah were revealing the 12 women's body types .The purpose is to help you to identify your shape, and the clothes that will highlight your assets and minimise flaws.Therefore, i think it must be something that every women should know and it will be useful. :) Why i said that it is interesting?It is because they were using various objects to describe a body shape!!
So, - which are you? ;)

In Class Activity:

This activity is a method to get the idea, which is by combining 2 words.
..this is a very interesting activity that i really enjoyed! :)

Given a list of Words.

Next Step :
Choose 3 set of numbers between 01-99.

i chose :
2 2 , 1 0 , and 8 4

Now, combined the words from these 2 columns ;

2 2 is lightning rock
1 0 is flower head
8 4 is oil mountain

Then, construct a sentence by including both set of words in it.

1) Samsor saw the lightning break the rock into 2 pieces during the heavy rain.

2) The flower that has been thrown by the bride fell onto Lisa'a head.

3) Alex bring along the massage oil when he is climbing the mountain.

Now, draw a picture based on the sentence created.

Now, lets have fun!!!
I have something to share with you. Something that is similar to this class activity.
Have you ever think of any of the existing words in the world that are using 2 different words in one word?Well...these are some of the words that came across my mind. :)
