ASSALAMUALAIKUM

In our second class, we started to brief and study the Unit 1 which is AN INTRODUCTION-WHO PRODUCED THIS TEXT, FOR WHOM AND WHY? In this topic, they are the question key. The question are :

1. Who wrote the text?
2. Who is the intended reader?
3. Why was it produced?

In this unit, we had read the article from the reading book and the title is ' CONVICTED KILLER BACK AT WORK'. This article was quite interesting. Miss Wani had told us to think why the writer wrote the title of the article like that. Our class become so interesting with the discussion and the shared of opinion among us. Then, Miss Wani told the 10 elements that we need to have in order to review the article. The elements are as below:

1. Topic- consists of the headline of the article and predict what you think the article will be about.
2. Content- consist of what, who, where, when,what.
3. Source- where we might expect to find the article.
4. Audience- who will be our audience.
5. Rhetorical function- what is the writer is trying to do.
6. Purpose- what is the purpose of the text.
7. Perspective- what is the stance taken in the text.
8. Positioning- the notion of positioning follows logically from the perspective.
9. Impact- the effect to the audience about the article.
10. Visual literacy- the relationship between headline and the picture.

In my opinion, this 10 elements can help us how to analysis an article. As we follow the 10 elements, it will be easy to us to understand the article.

I admit, this subject is quite boring and make me feel sleepy, but i really appreciate what Miss Wani had done to us. She played us a song to make us not too boring in the class. She played the song from CHRIS DAUGHTRY ( WHAT ABOUT NOW?)

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky.
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

The sun is breaking in your eyes
To start a new day.
This broken heart can still survive
With a touch of your grace.
Shadows fade into the light.
I am by your side,
Where love will find you.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?

Now that we're here,
Now that we've come this far,
Just hold on.
There is nothing to fear,
For I am right beside you.
For all my life,
I am yours.

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?

What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,
Baby, before it's too late,

This is the lyric of the what about now song. This song is really sad when we heard that. But it is good when we understand what this song is all about. thank you once again to Miss Wani for your good effort to make this subject fun.
