In Drama class we have been practicing the Japanese Folk Tale, “Momotaro” also known in English as “Peach boy”. Our unit question was “Can actions speak louder than words? ” and our significant concept was, “Stories can be told dramatically through action and voice, not just through written word.” and which our audience were little children.

In this unit there were a lot of things I had to progress. First of all I think that story was easy to understand also for little children. But when I concentrate on seeing my own acting, I think there were not much of a progress.

I think I was filled with weaknesses but our group was filled with strengths in our acting. Our group had a comedic story line of Momotaro. Everyone in our group were able to exaggerate movements, especially Keigo. But when I look myself, in the story, I think I had some parts, like the part where I cried out like a baby was maybe the right type of thing for little child, but other than that I think it was quite boring to hear what I had said or done.

I think our scene was quite successful especially because we had Keigo and Nicolai’s comedic movements and comments. As a story to little kids I think it was quite a successful story.

I think I have a lot of areas to improve my skills. I think I really have to improve in exaggeration, or to have more emotions in my movements and comments. I think if I improve it, it will become more easy to understand, what scene it is.

Science Reflection

Shin

I think that I was able to show scientific skills. I think I searched a good amount of information about how the Nuclear power plant generate electricity and how uranium facilitates atomic bombs. I think that I did use some scientific language, but I think I could have used more. The most challenging thing for me in this project, was that it was really difficult to understand what each scientific word meant. If I had another chance to do this project I am interested in doing Gadolinium. It looks interesting for me, because it is contained in the MRI system.

Which parts of criteria D and E were you most successful at demonstrating in the assessment?

In criteria D, science inquiry I think that I was successful in writing down the procedure, clearly. But I think that I had some part missing in m procedure. In criteria E, I was successful in making the pie chart, but my table was missing a header. Next time I would want to look carefully.

Which parts could you have improved on?

I think that I have to improve on taking more time on writing down the conclusion. I think that if I took more time in writing down the conclusion I had better scores.

This is my line drawing

This is my line drawing

In this unit of “making a mark”, line drawing, I have completed a line drawing of Himeji Castle at the background, the Ishigaki (Japanese stone wall). Our unit question was “How can we communicate visually?” and our significant concept  was “line can be used to convey shape, texture and tone.”

I had huge confidence when I finished this drawing, but I think there are a lotos improvements for me to make with my art skills. As shown, I think that this part of the trees does not show the difference of the tone. I think that if I showed the tone a little bit more, like the other part shown, I think that it would be able to predict easier that there are different trees and not the same tree. Also, I think that the shape of the tree is not that tree like. I think that the shape of the tree is too mixed up. Next time I would want to improve the shape of the trees, and the difference of the tone of the tree.

I started off drawing the background first. I only used the picture of Himeji Castle as a reference. I think that I succeeded in drawing the background even though I only used the picture as a reference. I think that I was lucky enough to succeed with the background with only the photo as a reference. Because when I used the Van Gogh line drawing as one of my references for my mid-ground and fore ground I was able to get a better idea of drawing the picture. When I started to draw my mid-ground it was way easier drawing for me. I was able to get a better idea of which line drawing techniques I should use for that particular part. Also, what helped me in helping me draw my art was, blur my eyes or looking it from further. I think that stopping for one moment and looking at the picture blurred was really important for me to successfully complete this project. I think that made me realize which parts I had to make it darker or which kind of overlapping line techniques I should use.

 

If I had another chance drawing line drawing I would use some strategies that were effective in drawing this picture. One of the effective strategies was, not drawing the line in the same way as the object or side next to it. This helped me by, even though you are not drawing the outline of the object, the person who is looking at the drawing can know the difference. I think by using this technique it looks more natural. Also, another technique that really helped me was, changing the tone naturally. I think changing the tone little by little it looks more object like.

This project was really enjoyable and fun for me. If I had another chance of doing this, I would want to challenge with a different colored marker, and see what will happen. Also, I think to make a better drawing I have to become better at choosing the best type of line that will mach with the object.

Technology Reflection

1. How many criteria do you think it is useful to have?  Why?  Can you have too many or too few?

I think that 4 criteria will be the best number of criterias. I think like this because if we have 5 criterias I think that the criterias will be balanced.
2. Which of the criteria the class came up with do you think is the most important?  Why?

The trailer has to persuade the audience to read the actual book. I think that this is important because if the trailer is not persuasive, the trailer would have no meaning, and that would mean it failed.
3. Do you feel that the class left out any really important criteria? What ones?

I think that our class had covered most of the good criterias.
4. Do you think the process we used (research, small group agreement, then whole class agreement) is a good way to develop criteria – why or why not?

I think that the criterias have been improved a lot because we have made it by small groups. I think that this really helped in improveing the criteria.

My Goals this semester

By 17hamadas 0 Comments
Categories: Uncategorized

I think that the learner profile that I have to work on is caring and open minded. I think like this because I think that when I do work with other people, I get too concentrated onto the idea I have and not to the idea that the other people have. I think that it would become a important thing for me because if I take other people’s ideas I think that I would be able to combine the idea with mine and make it better. Also, I think that I have to work on caring. I think that I have to work on caring because sometimes I forget about other people, and concentrate too much on what I want to do. I think that if I am able to do these learner profiles I will become better as a person.

The school value that I have to work on is “We shall be responsible in our action” I think that this is a really important goal for me. At house and in school I am always disorganized. I think that disorganized things could affect my soccer plays. And not only that I think that it is important to be organized, responsible, for school. I think that it could affect my grades. But I think that it does not only affect the numbers of what I am, but who I am, I think that it will change me positively as a person.

Tech Resource Reflection

Categories: Tech
1.  Which applications do you think will be best to create a trailer?  Why?
I would use Adobe After affects and also iMovie. I would add some affects to pictures and then import it to iMovie.
2.  Which applications do you think will be the least useful for creating a book trailer?  Why?
I think that the least useful application for creating a book trailer is quicktime player. I think that it is useless because it is only for recording.
3.  Do you already feel confident about using the application?  If not how much will you need to learn?
I do not really feel confident enough, but I think I will be able to handle it by watching more tutorials.
4.  Do you think it makes more sense to choose an application and then start designing, or to design your trailer first and then choose an application to make it?  Explain.
I think that it makes more sense to choose and application first. I think by choosing an application first, it will be easy to make an design.

Humanities Debate Reflection

In humanities class we had a debate if child labour is necessary or not.


This was my speech.

What would you improve about your presentation?
If I had another chance to do this kind of presentation I would change my tone and pitch of voice during the presentation. I think that the things I had said during the presentation was persuasive, but because of my tone and pitch of my voice it did not sound persuasive that much as I had imagined. Also next time, I would like to improve the skills of my presentation skills. I think that my volume of my voice was good enough, but my voice was not clear enough, and my pace of my speech was too fast.

When you watch the video, do you think you were persuasive? Why were you able to persuade the audience (language, tone, evidence?)

I think that I had good evidence and language. As I said, I have to improve in my tone of my speech. I think that if I had better tone with the good evidences and language that I had I was able to reach a higher level of achievement. But, overall I think that my speech was persuasive enough. I think that I should of included more evidence about the weak points of child labour.

Please include a link to at least two of the primary sources you used to get your evidence. What do you think was the advantage of using primary sources? (sources written at the time of the Industrial Revoltion).

1. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Twork.htm

2. http://eh.net/encyclopedia/article/tuttle.labor.child.britain

 

These were the 2 main link that I had used to make my speech persuasive. My 2nd link is not a primary source, but I was able to get a lot of information about the time then, because it had information from primary sources that the website used. I think the advantages of using primary sources were that, I was able to get thoughts and thinkings from the people that really lived during the industrial revolution.

In 2-3 sentences explain the argument for child labor in the Industrial Revolution.

Children are able to earn money. Also, children get education and food provided, which they can not without working in a factory.

In 2-3 sentences explain the argument against child labor in the Industrial Revolution

Children could get a high possibility of getting injured and losing there toes, and fingers. Also children have to work in bad conditions and work under harsh punishments.

Do you think England would have industrialized as quickly without child labor? Why or or why not?

I think the answer to this question would be no. I think like this because, without children working factory owners were not able to provide things at a low cost. If people were not able to buy things at a low cost the difference of rich and rural would just get wider and wider. And not only that, from more people getting rich, other businesses more active.
