4. Had students entered and left and some got lost: Ramyaasri left. Mavis left. Michah came. Shaun Ramesh flying kite.

5. Ms Chan was our form teacher last year. She had to be on leave for long and short breaks spanning throughout the year. We have had Ms Shobi and etc as temporary form teacher. Ms Ning Ning was our asst form teacher i think (I'd hate saying she was being extra last year, asking for attendance)

6. Well there was this failed awards list last year. No awards actually. hehehe.. it was sooned demolished and banned due to popular demand.

7. This year, we were a little sexist. Room was divided between girls and boys. Even music lesson did not escape.

8. We used to keep a file for the absentees

9. Most of us, unfortunately, dreaded the great Ms Lee... though I personally had nothing against her. (TIP: dont help her change marker ink-tubes.)

10. We had Basyir, Jia An, Valerie and Heather as our PSLs

11. Even in the first day, LIERBAG already started to chatter so much... seriously :D

16. We seem to have bad luck in P.E. nowadays... always have conflict

17. We had more than 10 absentees on the first friday of term III which happens to be more than 10% and during the H1N1 period, was very alarming. Fortunately, I was basent too (I was sent home on thurs.. i bet you got jealous and decided to stay at home too... hehehe joke)

Revision – Reliability

Source A

A source by the Japanese newspaper Syonan Times

"It is hereby declared that the recent arrests of hostile and rebellious Chinese has been carried out. It goes without saying that they are indeed so called traitors. Thus, it is the most important thing to sweep away these disloyal Chinese elements and to establish peace and promote the welfare of the population."

Do you trust what Source A says about the Chinese population in Singapore during the Japanese Occupation? [6m]

Level 1 – Stating reliability/non-reliability. [1m]

Source A is not reliable; I cannot trust what it says about the Chinese population in Singapore during the Japanese Occupation.

Level 1 – Verifying reliability or not reliable based on provenance. [2m]

The source is written/produced by the Japanese for the Syonan Times. This newspaper was controlled by the Japanese, therefore probably written in the Japanese point of view.

Level 2 – Verifying reliability/not reliable based on the claims made in the source content. [3-4m]

Source A said, “Thus, it is the most important thing to sweep away these disloyal Chinese elements and to establish peace and promote the welfare of the population.” [3m] This is not true as the Japanese did not get rid of the Chinese to promote peace and welfare in the country, but used fear to maintain order.

Level 3 – Verify reliable or not based on contextual knowledge + purpose of the source [5-6m]

From my contextual knowledge, Japan was fighting a war with China at that time and the Japanese wanted to eliminate any Chinese who were suspected of being anti-Japanese. Many innocent Chinese were tortured and lives were lost. [5m]

The author was trying to justify the harsh Japanese treatment of the locals by claiming that it was done for the benefit of everyone.

OR

The author was trying to justify the harsh treatment so that the locals would support Japanese’s actions against the Chinese. [6m]
