Evaluation

I liked the Create part the best, and I liked the Investigate part the least.

I liked Creating, because I was able to write my opinion while answering questions, and since I take computer classes outside of school and always knew how to use computers, I was able to use these skills in class. Specifically, my post titled “Mushroom In Treasure Hunt!” was fun to write because I was able to create a post on a funny event that happened during the Hakuba trip.

I least like investigate, because I had trouble writing in some comments about each websites. I was always thinking of writing them positively. The brainstorm was not too hard, however it took a long time, so I struggled during class.

If I was a teacher, I would change investigate by making students write into blogs what they hope to do in the future, or what they want to improve in technology today, or look into each student’s blog what they already have learned and what they didn’t.

I want to do this because, it also helps students to think and I can also help my students by communicating with each other, and improving the part his / her weak point.

My strength was the way I tried to amuse my readers, and express my feelings. This is my strength, because I am trying to level up for technology and blog skills, and since I like using computers, especially internet. I sometimes read famous people’s blog in websites so I get interested and consult what they write often.

My weakness was that I couldn’t really finish the work quickly. This is my weakness, because I mostly get stuck on something when it is difficult, while others are continuing, so I feel like I’m the only one who is way behind, so I try to rush and my brain panic, sweat on hands, and so on.
I had those problems in other subjects since elementary, and people around said to calm down.

I thought I grew by sharing people my opinions and happenings, just like my diary. I have many ideas, however I’m sort of not good at talking to people who I am not accustomed to, and I get nervous. So, since I like using computer and writing, the blog is always a reliable place to express my feelings, and it seems like my stress and my regrets about not being able to say what I had wanted to during that day had flown away. I think everyone doesn’t know but I have a very strong pride, so I get embarrassed whenever I make mistakes or getting wrong answers.

Now, I hope I could learn how to comment on others. If I disagree with someone, I don’t just type in “I disagree”, then that will cause an arguments, so I will tell where I disagree, and why. Then everyone may notice me and come to my blog and read.

LAMDA Reflection

On January 17th-18th, Grade 6 had LAMDA exam. I arrived a little late…  Anyways when the performance time came, I wasn’t nervous that much.  Since I’ve practiced a lot, and almost remembered all of the word it said on the script, (Of course I used note card) and tried not to show my note card, because it might look like that I have nothing, and communicating with examiner. Now I’m just wondering for the results…

Here is a video which Mrs. Erikson recorded for me. Its a practice, (I missed some part & a little struggling…)

Creating My Blog

I am happy with my theme, because I have made them as all the sentences fits in the blog than before. My criteria matches for link and simple. I have met those criteria because I have learned here and at computer class. I think I should become even more better blogger by using advanced vocabulary, many details and easy to understand and focus on some organizing paragraphs. I also look forward for accomplishing assignments more better from working quicker and try to finish at school as I can, so I do not have to do it at home.

About Me

My name is Touko, and I am Grade 6 middle school in YIS. I used to live in Singapore for four years. Why not come visit sometimes? Anyways, my hobby is to listen to music while doing my HW and using internet to watch video and play scary flash maze games. I do like using computer and blogs, however I have to improve my skills by organizing my work, downloading or pasting to some place and sharing some information or projects with some one.

I always look forward to reading a Japanese weekly magazine. There are two favorite short comics which are called “Tanma-kun” by Sadao Shouji (東海林さだお), and “Jinsei Mogura Tataki” by Kyoko Ikeda (池田暁子).

Diary Of Jakarta Survival

I left Japan, and arrived to Jakarta. As a climate, I heard that they rain so much every year, and causes floods. I thought a little anxious. There were huge flood in 2007. I thought that many people had grieved for their lost family. Many places were also destroyed and damaged. The building material looked so uncomftarble and weak, so thats why it gets flushed with floods.

As a transportation, I thought they weren’t that bad, although it was bicycle riding (Ojeck), and I wasn’t really good at riding on them…

So I decided to think that I should leave, and go back.

My Plan Reflection

I’m happy with my blog design, because I try to make it neat and each sentences clear. For example, If I got something important in my sentences, I make the word Bold and Italic, or change the color into easy to glance red.

As a criteria, my blogs meet with “Simple” and “Picture”, since I have learnt a lot and easy to remember how to do them. Recently, I always get taught by someone with some of the blog. Also, keeping simple is easy to understand for readers and not too complicated with some information that I wrote.

Moreover, in the future I also look forward for achieving “Map” and “Links”, so it looks organized and could share people a information. By doing those things, it helps others and relates for becoming an even better blogger.
