FOUNDATION OF LITERATURE ( REFLECTION )
Title : Romeo and Juliet
This story is about 2 person, Romeo and Juliet when they are fall in love. Juliets from Capulets families, Prince of Verona, and Romeo from Montagues families. Each from they family disagree with they relationship. But they hard works to keep with they relationship. Juliet desperately visit Friar lawrence for help. He offer her a drug, which will put into a death like coma for forty-four hours. She is to take it and, when discovered apparently dead. Romeo then learns Juliet 'death',Then he buys poison and drunken it. Finally Romeo and Juliet died with drunken poison. This stories is same with my stories, when I fall in love to someone and she's love me too. But she families disagree with have relationship with me. I think this story is very interested for people's. The stories is very sad and touched heard people's whose read the stories.
Word Processors in The Classroom
Word processors can be used in the many inventive ways, by both teachers and students. For a teachers , word processors used to prepare, create, store and share materials for their classes. And a learners can use a word processing program both in and outside the classroom to practice writing skills, grammar and other language points, as well as to present their work.
Word processors for teachers ( creating word ).
- Inserting images and links.
- Creating forms.
A form is a word document which has interactive elements in it. Resembling closely the kinds of simple exercises you might find on the internet. These elements can include drop-down menus for making choices, text entry fields where your learners can type in text, and button to select one of a set of choices.
- Using track Changes
'Document tracking' or ' Versioning' is a tools allow documents to be shared among a group of users, with each user's changes and edits highlighted in a different colour and identified by their initials.
- Using markin
This is another windows program that aids the correction of word processed work fro learners, it is for marking up grammar mistakes and spelling errors.
Word processing activities for learners.
- Using word processors for creative writing.
Learners can work together with documents that can be exchanged easily between pairs or groups of learners and between learners and teachers. Encouraging both teacher corrections and peer correction and revision.
- Using word processors for language practice.
- Further activities.
* Dictation
* Noticing activity
* Collaborative writing activity.
- Using word processors for presenting work.
Using word processors : considerations.
There are some potential downsides to using word processors, not the least of which is working with mixed technological ability classes where typing skills, may play a large part in performance anxiety and in the pace at which activities are carried out.

SUMMARY OF THE COMEDY OF ERRORS
Summary
Egeon, a merchant of
Meanwhile, unknown to Egeon, his son Antipholus of Syracuse (and Antipholus' slave Dromio) is also visiting Ephesus--where Antipholus' missing twin, known as Antipholus of Ephesus, is a prosperous citizen of the city. Adriana, Antipholus of Ephesus' wife, mistakes Antipholus of Syracuse for her husband and drags him home for dinner, leaving Dromio of Syracuse to stand guard at the door and admit no one. Shortly thereafter, Antipholus of Ephesus (with his slave Dromio of Ephesus) returns home and is refused entry to his own house. Meanwhile, Antipholus of Syracuse has fallen in love with Luciana, Adriana's sister, who is appalled at the behavior of the man she thinks is her brother-in-law.
The confusion increases when a gold chain ordered by the Ephesian Antipholus is given to Antipholus of Syracuse. Antipholus of Ephesus refuses to pay for the chain (unsurprisingly, since he never received it) and is arrested for debt. His wife, seeing his strange behavior, decides he has gone mad and orders him bound and held in a cellar room. Meanwhile, Antipholus of Syracuse and his slave decide to flee the city, which they believe to be enchanted, as soon as possible--only to be menaced by Adriana and the debt officer. They seek refuge in a nearby abbey.
Adriana now begs the Duke to intervene and remove her "husband" from the abbey into her custody. Her real husband, meanwhile, has broken loose and now comes to the Duke and levels charges against his wife. The situation is finally resolved by the Abbess, Emilia, who brings out the set of twins and reveals herself to be Egeon's long-lost wife. Antipholus of Ephesus reconciles with Adriana; Egeon is pardoned by the Duke and reunited with his spouse; Antipholus of Syracuse resumes his romantic pursuit of Luciana, and all ends happily with the two Dromios embracing.

Media Pembelajaran
Class : 4 B / Morning
Teaching Media
1. Technology In Language Teaching
Tecnology in language teaching Since the 1960s and 1970s, by using tape recorders, language laboratories and video have been used in language teaching. It has been around in language teaching for decades, or might argue for centuries, if we classify the blackboard as a form of technology.
In the early 1980s, appeared Computer Based Materials For Language Teaching, often referred to as CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning). Call programs typically required learners to respond to stimuli on the computer screen and to carry out tasks such as filling in gapped texts, matching sentence halves and doing multiple-choice activities. The Call approach is one that is still found on many published CD-ROMs for language teaching.
CALL has moved beyond the use of computer programs to embrace the use of the Internet, and Web-based tools. In the 1990s, appeared the term TELL (Technology Enhanced Language Learning) in response to the growing possibilities offered by the internet and communications technology.
The use of ICT by language teachers is still not widespread, the use of the technology in the classroom is becoming increasingly important,it will become a normal part of ELT practice in the coming years.
2. Attitudes o Technology
The increasing presence of the internet and computers, they cause there are people afraid of new technology, appeared the term technophobe, it refers to who might be wary of these new developmennts. And the term digital native has been coined to refer to who grows up using technology and who thus feels comfortable and confident with it-typically today’s children. The parents, tend to be digital immigrants, who have come late to the world of technology. In many cases, teachers are the digital immigrants and our younger students are the digital natives.
3. Implementing ICT In The Classroom
a. Using ICT in only one computer in the school
- using websites
- Internet-based project work-especially webquests offline
- Email keypal projects using the teacher’s email account, etc.
b. using ICT for learners have low informations technology experience and technology
- first, find out about the learners’ IT skills and degrees of experience, then start off by using the simplest technologies i the classroom.
c. Using ICT in the classes of 30+ students
- It needs to have access to a minimum number of computer, with no more than four learners per computer doing small-group work online. With more than 30 students, can be divided into 2 groups.
4. Skills And Equipments For Getting Started
The basic skills you do need to have in place is how to use a simple word processing program (e.g. Microsoft Word), how to use email and how to acces and use the internet. Some essential equipment to start to implement technology with the learners:
- A computer (preferably one per two students)
- An internet connection
- A printer
- An audio card in the computer. A headset (audio and microphone) for every computer
- Basis software(web browser like Internet Explorer, FireFox, Mozilla, email program, etc.).
