Hello everyone……. It’s me again, Azlan. I’m going to update my wordpress once again. This week, I’m going to search online for two url that can be used to teach literature. Then, I’m going to write a summary about the two url. After searching through the internet, I have chosen two url which I think are the most suitable. The url are:

 http://www.literature.com.my/                                                                                                                                                                       This website contains the literature taught in secondary school from Form one to Form five. This websites explain various aspects in literature such as plot, character, setting, theme and moral value. Students can learn a lot of knowledge regarding literature through this website.)

http://www.freewebs.com/engform4/index.htm                                                                                                                                       (This website contains only Form Four literature. One of the master piece is The Necklace. This websites is very fun as it contains exercises for students. Students can straight away answer the exercises after reading the short story online.) 

After introducing the two url, now I am going to answer the first part of my question: 1. Write a short summary about the two url I have chosen.  

The two url that I have chosen is mainly about literature that have been taught in Malaysian secondary school, Form One to Form Five. Some of the examples are Sonnet 18, The Necklace, Life Brief Candle, The Pearl and so on. These two websites have the same objective that is to share information or knowledge about English literature and to guide Malaysian secondary students in learning  English literature better. The target group for these two websites is Malaysian secondary school (Form 1 to Form 5) students, teachers who are teaching English literature and those who like to read literature materials. In my personal opinion, I think it is effective to ask students to refer to the literature material online for understanding literature because these websites are very fun as they contain colourful pictures and animation which can easily attract students to read finish the whole litearture material if compared to books. (While reading literature materials such as novel, students tend to skip few pages rather than finish reading the whole book. That what I have done during my secondary years…… Ha Ha Ha……) Students can learn more about literature as these websites contain many extra information. Students can just click on the links if they want to know more. Besides, these websites contain variety of exercises about literature. After reading the literature materials online, students can click on the exercises section to answer the questions straight away. Students don’t have to search for any exercises to do as the exercises are provided. Eventually, this can help to train students to answer literature  question better. They can do more exercises and they can score for their examination easily because practice make prefect. By practicing the exercises in the websites, for sure they can answer all the literature questions during examination. Students can also save lots of money from buying any workbooks to do. And, I think students will prefer to answer the questions in digital form rather than the questions in the workbooks. The best way to use these websites is teachers start to introduce these websites to students in school. Teachers can use these websites as their teaching materials in school rather than just using books. By exposing these websites to students, students will find learning literature is fun and they will pay their attention when their respective teacher is teaching in front. They will also start to appreciate literature.    

That is my summary for the two url. It a bit long as I have too many ideas. I want to thank you if you still continue reading my post after I have been talking a lot at the first part of my question.

Next, I’m going to answer the second part of my question: 2. Is the website that you selected effective and useful for you to understand better the literature, novel, short story, poem or literature critics.

And my answer is for sure YES…… The websites that I have selected are very useful and effective to me as an university student. Although I had learnt the literature in my secondary years, I had forgotten some of the literatures. By reading and surfing the websites, I start to recall back all the literature that I had learnt before. I think the websites are attractive too as they contain many pictures. The pictures are used to express the content of the literature. I can just imagine the setting of the short story by looking at the pictures. These two websites really help me in understanding the literature better. 

Thats all from me by the moment. Will try my best to upload some pictures or videos into my post (I’m still in the process of learning how to upload mp3 files and video) so that my post will be interesting…….. Hi hi hi……. Thanks……. looking forward once again for the next posting.
