Reading Challenge - Activity


(1) I loved reading ever since I was a child, nowadays it's hard to try to find time to read as I am quite tiring after I come home from school, after a one hour bus ride from the school. Although I wanted to grow personally in terms of trying to manage my time better which helps when trying to find time for everything the IB challenges you to do.

(2) It was challenging to try to motivate myself continuously as the challenge in itself is to read as many books as you can. When I had 2 novels to study in English class and now a third it was very hard to continue the challenge as it was exhausting when my IA's were needing to be done.

(3) Continuing the challenge although it was hard was a test on my ability to persevere with the challenge as I knew it would be beneficial to me in the future when I will need to read a lot of books in university for research. Also, it turns out the challenge provided me with a way to release the stress from immense school work as it gave me quality time by myself to relax while doing something productive as well, rather than watching series, I was reading books on topics or stories I was interested about.

I chose Constantin Stanislavski as I remembered his acting techniques from researching about him during my Igcses. The lamda examiner questioned me about how Stanislavski turned realism to naturalism withn acting and what were his teachings. (LO3) The perseverance part was the hardest as I would struggle to split my time between homework, school work and revision that I usually do during my free periods that would be re...
