beyound class

we are suppose to do two beyond class. my film club count as one beyond class. is every Thursday and we watch all source of movies. comedy, action ,drama ,romantic, tragedy. is held in the human social science building, we have a pop corn machine and we enjoy pop corn while watching movie. is every Thursdays at 12:30pm and is just like a movie theater. last two weeks Thursday we watch matrix, but didn't finish it. we continued it last week Thursday. matrix is  a science fiction movie.it talks about  a man living two lives. By day he is an average computer programmer and by night a hacker known as Neo.  he always question his reality. it got a lot of actions in it. Neo finds himself targeted by the police when he is contacted by Morpheus, a legendary computer hacker branded a terrorist by the government. Morpheus awakens Neo to the real world, a ravaged wasteland where most of humanity have been captured by a race of machines that live off of the humans' body heat and electrochemical energy and who imprison their minds within an artificial reality known as the Matrix.  is a must watch movie, I liked it.

GROUP WORK

 Today we didn't have to go to our English class so we took the advantage of that to work on our English group project. in our English class we have a group of three or four people assign to do a presentation on grammar schmammar. the fist presentation was on Wednesday about how to use apostrophes. we were given options to do a presentation in class and the teacher was going to video it and put it on you tube. my group has the second presentation, we were going to do a video so we decided to use our English period to meet at the library today at noon  and get it started.one of the student in the group was late and she had almost everything to get started so we had to wait on her for half an hour. as soon as she get in we had the key to one of the student study room in the library. we decided to do a presentation in class because we didn't have enough material for our video. we came together as a group and discuss about our presentation. so now we are prepared and ready to go on Monday for our presentation. I am a little bit nervous standing in front of the class for presentation.

Class Discussions /Activities.

   we were suppose to discuses or talk about'' my mothers tongue'' today in class but I guess most of us the students didn't read it  so we were smite enough to convince Mr. Sweeney and he made us work on something else. Todays class was like everybody was doing whatever.so I will go ahead and talk about what we read on Wednesday. '' superman and me'' was what we talked about in class on Wednesday.is pretty much an interesting story by an Indian boy who is now a writer. Well most the students see it as a boring story and I think is because they were not really prepared for class. I also found it boring the first time i read it but when i read it three times,  it was not that boring but  interesting and I liked it.we were all given the chance to come up with at least two questions about ''superman and me '' to discuses in class. that comes the funny part of the class. most questions were funny and stupid if i may say. We discuses most of the questions and ignore the stupid questions of cause. class discussion on Wednesday was very interesting we came up with different ideal to the question.To me i think group work or class discussion is the best for especially English classes.
