1E2 Book of Legends

Dear 1E2 Class,

I've gone through some of your work on the Re-writing of the Legend of Mahsuri and I'm quite pleased with what I've seen so far. I hope you will carry on with the good work. I will update this space for updates soon about this. In the mean time, have a look at the pictures of some of your work. They are very creative indeed!

For today's class on the writing of the Introduction to Your Personal Legend, we've gone through quite a bit. Remember that in the introduction you must have the following:

- Where and when did YOUR legend happen?

- Who was involved? (Main Character and the "Evil" one)

Anyway, if you are not sure of the format of the Introduction - please copy the one below!

1E2 Book of Legends

The Legend of the Crying Banana Tree

Introduction

….

When we think of banana trees, we often think of the many evil ghosts that linger around the bushes. Even you are now imagining the horrid image of a white cloth flying through the air… But have you ever heard of the legend of the Crying Banana Tree? It is a story set in an earlier Singapore, 50 years ago to be exact, about a girl named Suraiya. She was the most beautiful and kind person. But in the end, she was cursed for eternity to be imprisoned inside a banana tree by an evil sorcerer named Abu.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Copy everything except replace the italics with your own i.e your own introduction and word count. Remember the word count should be around 70 - 90 words.

I will be expecting to see 20 emails (msteratai@gmail.com) from your class by 5pm today. I trust that you would do a great job on this one as well!

For those who finished early and has kindly visited my blog, do have a look at the video of The Legend of Bukit Timah done by The National Heritage Board and Nanyang Polytechnic (or if you can't seem to watch the video here, just click on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE5D6VvMoLY).

Pick out the interesting bits and tell me what you would change to make the story even better.

Remember, we are doing the writing of the CLIMAX to your personal legend next week. So start thinking!

Peace Out,

Miss Teratai @ Zhenghua
