GRADUATE SUCCESS ATTRIBUTES

Introduction

In our previous class, we have learned about ; CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS, TEAM WORKING SKILLS and LIFELONG LEARNING SKILLS.
Critical thinking begins when we question beyond what is given and we want to know more about it, and we think out of the box on how to solve it. Then, team work also the important element in out life. Teams are a part of everyone’s life. Lastly, we learned about lifelong learning skills ; learning that is pursued throughout life : learning that is flexible, diverse and available at different times and in different places.
Based on the topic that we have learned, we were assigned to perform two different kind of shows. The theme for our show is creative and out of the box show. The show must have entertainment features and we have try to attract our classmates to participate in the show.

PROJECT 1

In our first class we have learned about communication and one of the communication is non-verbal communication.
Non-verbal communication is the non-linguistic transmission of information through visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic channels. There are some example of non-verbal communications ; gestures, vocal qualities, attitudes, facial expression and eye behavior. 
In our Project 1, we have to arrange one fun and simple game on gestures non-verbal communication.
The purpose of our project is to make us clear and understand about what is the gesture and why it is important in our daily life. Gesture allow us to communicate a variety of feelings and thoughts often together with body language. This project want we to achieve understanding that gesture also some kind of communication that can make others understand on what we try to communicate with them.

REFLECTION

REFLECTION FROM THE TOPIC

We have learned about Communication in our first class. From this topic, we got to learn on how to improve our communication skills. We learn about the theory in the class and applied it in our Project 1 where we have to arrange Gesture Games as outdoor activity for our class. Other that that, we have learned that there are many types of communication such as speaking, writing, listening, reading and non-verbal communication. From that we have learned that all of the communication is important in our daily life. We got to know on how to speak well in front audience using variation of communication and catch their attention to us.

REFLECTION FROM THE PROJECT

This project give a golden opportunity for us to design creative, fun and simple games on gestures non-verbal communication. Other than that, we learned to cooperate with other groups to complete all the games. Last but not least, we need to give the instructions loudly, clearly and easy to understand so that games can be done 

Tarian Zapin

Explanation about Tarian Zapin

Zapin (Jawi: زافين) is a Malay dance form that is popular in Malaysia (especially in the state of Johor, Pahang and Selangor), in Indonesia, especially in Malay-populated provinces in Sumatera (Riau Province, Jambi province, Riau Islands Province, North Sumatera, and Bangka-Belitung Islands) and West Kalimantan, and in other Malay populated countries like Brunei Darussalam and Singapore. It is believed to have been introduced by Arab, Muslim missionaries from the Middle East in the fourteenth century.

In the old days, only males were allowed to perform; nowadays, female dancers are included. It used to be performed exclusively for religious ceremonies but through the years it has become a form of traditional entertainment, hence the participation of female dancers is allowed.

For our Zapin show that we performed in our class, it is just the basic Zapin that everyone can follow and dance along with us. It is actually Zapin Melayu that is used as aerobics and everyone have fun did it together.
