Religion Response:

A 'good' life has meaning.

Would I agree to this statement? Maybe. Could be. Depends. 50-50 (half/half). For now, I think my life is good but then it might develop a true meaning to me. Some peoples meanings in life could be to spread blessing around the entire world in the name of Jesus. Im guessing those people are good and it does have a lot of meaning to that person. I would be honest by saying that life doesn’t really have to have means to have a good life. What really counts in your life is that you must have a reason to keep you busy in the days. To me life is great and it doesn’t necessarily need to have a meaning to some people. This concludes my reason as to why I think I am a 50-50 (half-half) however, it can be good if it doesn’t have any yet though. Since I explained I think is a true meaning in life, well maybe, I want it to happen to me soon and for meanings that are the things that could maybe have a difference in a world to make me a better person.

The serenity to change the things I can

The serenity to change the things I can is the topic I am going to talk about today. The belief that guy was discussing or was talking about is about this. He hates it when other people, even his family litters and he said in the record that even one person can change the world even just buy picking up one piece of litter and that he dumped someone just because she littered and made him pick up the plastic. He also puts trash cans everyday.
The next question I am going to focus on is: Why did it appeal to me? I thought it did because who would go and check the dustbin that doesn't belong to you? On top of that, he also sorts out the trash like the plastic, paper, etc.

50 words or less essay

King Aegeus wanted a son so future generations would remember him. His first wife died and his second wont have children. He saw a sorceress and begged for a son. She told him the next time he hugged a woman she would have a child. Theseus was born.

Daedalus and Icarus

The movies that I watched in class were movies that fascinated and shocked me. I think the narrator was quite interesting because he explained clearly. This narrator had a dog that can talk and the dog asked the questions which had to do with the movie and he answered the questions. The dog was also very sympathetic while he was telling the story. Which both of the movies had though. However, I did not have a favorite movie because they were both depressing and I don't like depressing movies. One movie was about Daedalus and Icarus, and the other movie was about Theseus and the Minotaur. The one that I liked more was Daedalus and Icarus. The reason why I like Daedalus and Icarus is because it shows how the father loves the children and family. I can understand the dislikes that they had against each other in their lives. This concludes to which movie that I enjoyed the most.

Reflectioin

I thought that the school year went by so fast. Well at least faster than other grades. I am now going to share you some things that we did and I did in 6th grade this year.

This year in 6th grade, we did a lot of things and projects that was to do with group work. However, I think I didn't do well on my literate circle as much as I did on the most recent project which we just finished (tick-tack-toe). We were supposed to do a project on China and basically the religion dynasties and the geography in Ancient China. I think I did well because in the beginning of the year, I didn’t do as much work as I did for the tick-tack-toe thingy. The thing is that I don’t really know why I did better.

For me, I had some challenges through our this year. First of all, I thought that the lit circles was hard, but as I practiced it, I think it is not hard any more. Another thing that I thought was challenging was the first tick-tack-toe firstly because I didn't like that book that we had to do a tick-tack-toe on and I tend to not focus when I don't like that subject but that rally happens. The book that we were doing the tick-tack-toe on was called Call It Courage. I didn't really like that book and so I kinda didn't do a lot of work. I just helped edit one part and that is all I did. My partners were called Esme and Nick.

Reflecting on my growth this year, I learned a lot of things about my self as a learner. A way that helped us learn this year was when we did this thing to find your profile and I didn't know that I was profile '' I '' which I thought was kind of cool. Everyone now knows what their type of learner they are because we studied about that.
To evaluate your work habits, choose 1 of the following from each category ( and provide explanations): your work habits, (and provide explanations.

Behavior- I think my behavior was satisfactory through out this year but some how, I think I could have improved in a way which I am not sure of but also I think I did not say anything that was not polite and I didn't disrupt the class and I didn't interrupt my teacher in class when he was talking. If I did, it would have been rarely.

Based upon your reflections, write two personal learning goals for Grade 7 next year.

Goal 1 - In Grade 7, I plan to do a little more than I am expiated in work and humanities especially because I am only doing what I am supposed to do but I also want to write more about what I am supposed to write about to get a better grade.


Goal 2- Another goal that I have that I could improve the next year is my organization because in the beginning of the year, I didn't really complete my lititure circles on time and I think I have to work on that task.

I was asked if I had anything else to let my teachers know, but I don't think I have anything else to say about myself during this year.

There were somethings that I though was fun this year. I think that was the diary entrys because I thought it was a good experience and I could also learn more about the person I was told to do which was a peasant and I think it was one of the most essayist thing that my class did. That is because I do my own diaries at home for fun and I also like doing them.

I was supposed to tell what I enjoyed about the diary and I think I enjoyed the fact that when we finished the diary enteries, we could have decorated it to be old and or put it on a blog which is what I did because when I did made it as a book, it was ripped a part and so I thought it was better to do it on the internet/blog same thing.



We were told to tell what we could have spent a little time on and this is what I think. Well, there are many things that I could have spent on but here is one of the things which I thought we should have worked on this year in 6th grade. I think we could have worked on the diaries more because we didn't have that mush time but I finished it on time. However, I still wished we were given a bit more time so that I could work on other homework as well as doing the diary. Those are my thoughts.

There are many advises that I would have give to the class of 2018. Here are some thoughts or advises. First of all, for the lit circles, if they still do them, you should always do one box a day. Second of all, you should share it the minute you open the document if not you might forget to share it with your teacher which is what I once did. Lastly, you should always also back up your work because you might lose your work which happened to my friend a few times (not mentioning any names though...)

White Mountains

Dear family, citizens of Wherton,

I am sorry about the way that I left Wherton the way that I did and I wished I could have told you that I did but I did not have the courage to. A cuple of reasons why I left Wherton is what I am going to tell you about in this letter and by the way, there is no point in looking for me because you might never find me but me, Henry and Beanpole are great!

Well, like I said, I did leave home for many reasons, actually, just three reasons. I might have left home for more reasons, but I can't think of them all right now. Here are the reasons I know why I left home. First of all, Jack was my friend but until I knew that he was capped, that was when I decided to leave home. I missed the old Jack and I also wanted to leave the town or our home because of that and something else. I did not like the fact that Henry's mom passed away and that he had to live with me because I am not used to sleeping in the same room or actually sharing a room with any one because I am the only child. I also did not even like Henry one bit then, but since we are grown up we have a closer relation ship which is a great reason that he left with me. Also I met a person who’s name was Xhonpole but I can’t say that name so I call him Beanpole and he told me that there is a place that was full of non capped people living there and I do not want to get capped so I had a long journey.

Secondly, I am going to talk about choices in the world and the importancey of choices and the one that I reasonly had made. There are many choices in life that I could have made and one of them is chosing what you want in life, which for me is running a way from home, which I regreted not telling you and felt awful that I did. However, I had to get capped, but I didn’t want to. Luckily, I met Beanpole who told me where the people that wasn’t capped from and I wanted to go there.

Well, that comes to the end of my letter.

From Will.

The white mountains

Tripods controlled the people by capping them. They cap them by depositing a metal cap on the head of the people. However, they do have to be a certain age to be capped, which is around fourteen. Capping is also the time when you go from being a child to being an adult. You cannot do what ever you want because you are now capped or in other words, you will be controlled by people that cap you. Jack is finally capped and Will goes to talk to him about it. Will hesitated and blurted out, "what was it like?" Jack shook his head and told Will he was not permitted to talk about it. "I will promise you this though. It will not hurt and they do it for our good." The made it easy for the Tripods to control peoples thoughts and get them to do what they wanted.

Well, Will misses a girl which she likes in this book is called Eloise. Will can not be with her because she is capped. Being capped means to be controlled by someone with a cap in the persons head like a hat but instead, its a metal hat. One example that was said in chapter six was when Find evidence (quotes) to

the book said, " I wished Eloise was here." That is one of the quotes which I thought was why Will was frustrated about the comete, Comtesse and Eloise being capped in this story.

Lastly, the evidence that shows how Will feels about being capped is what this paragraph is going to be about. I think Will is sad to be capped because he does not have any freedom in his life anymore.

Sara Goei's answer to How will Beanpole help Will and Henry on their journey to the White Mountains?

How will Beanpole help Will and Henry on their journey to the White Mountains?

First of all, who is Beanpole in this story do you wonder? Well, Beanpole's name is actually spelt Zhanpole which is a French name and they are in France which makes sence to have a local name when they are in France. Unfortunatlly, Will and Henry find it hard to say or prounce his name so then they came out of an easier name which they can actually say, which is Beanpole and I prefre the name Beanpole so I would use that name in this artical. If you are wondering why or how he helped Henry and Will along their journey then just keep on reading this artical and I hope it will help you understand how Beanpole helped Will and Henry along their journey.

Do you people wonder how Beanpole helped Henry and Will during the journey? The good thing is that he can speek both English and French. I think that he is also a smart person and he also helped helped Will and Henry a lot. That is because he gave instructions on how to get to the desrtination. He also told Will and Henry, his cousin if they are lost. The other thing that I think he helped Will and Hennry through out the journey so far is because Beapole made food for Will and Henry. Lastly, they have something in common. That is because they are in the same age group.

How Is Will Like Me, You Ask?

In Humanities, we have been assigned to read a book called the Giver or The White Mountains. The book Mr. Thomas told me to read is The White Mountains. In this blog/article I am going to talk about how the character Will is like me. Or in other words, I'll tell you about what Will and I have in common. Many of the other students has told me they like this book and I definitely agree. I would recommend this book to people who like science fiction.

Will and I have some things in common and some things which are not in common. Will is a kind and passive person and I think I am a kind person at times. I wish I was kind all the time and it is something I am working on. Will shows his kindness when he wants to show his fathers watch to Jake. He wanted to share this with his friend. That is kindness to me. Will is also a passive person. That to me is someone who is too shy to stand up for his or herself. It usually depends on my mood if I want to be passive or aggressive. When Will and Henry were fighting I felt he could do more to stand up for himself. Also, when Henry moved into Will's house I thought that Will should have questioned his moving in more to his mother but he just let it happen.

Will and I are also around the same age and that is another thing we have in common. The one thing that I don't have in common and am really happy about is that I haven't been capped although, sometimes I feel like it at school when I am told what to do all the time. Capped means someone being in control of you.

That is what Will and I have in common. Again, you should read this book if you haven't yet. If you enjoy science fiction you will like it.

Here is a link which is what I grading for the assiment that I was asked to complete.

My Pharaoh project movie

A reflection about my project

1) What you believe you did well on the project?
2) What you would improve for future presentations/projects?
3) What did you learn from your preparation (for your presentation) in
addition to the presentations of others?
4) What is your analysis of your performance?
Lastly, include a link to your Google Docs city presentation on your blog.


What you believe you did well on the project?


1.)I believe that I have a simple powerpoint, yet there is plenty of information for others to extract from it. The people who read it will also gain some more facts about my country,Kuala Lumpur. I also believe that my pictures are reasonable and fit the topic well. The grammar and punctuation was a not a concern and done to my best ability. I always reread my sentences over and over again and then I check along the way. Sometimes others will also read my work and help me to edit my mistakes.

What you would improve for future presentations/projects?

2.)The thing that I would improve is the my format. I did not keep it the same throughout the project. I also struggled with the placement of the pictures, to make sure they were in the appropriate place. Some images had pixillation problems and wasn't clear, especially if you saw it from a close distance.Finally,I could have improved on a better choice of pictures. Some pictures were small and unclear.

3.)What did you learn from your preparation (for your presentation) in
addition to the presentations of others?

I learned to put in lots of information and to keep others attention. I need to make sure that I speak loud and clear and not to be too nervous. I learned about my own country and how natural resources generate a healthy economy,which makes Malaysia more inviting for foreigners to trade and cultivate a relationship. Because I was interested in the subject, I became more creative by adding some color into it since I am a gestalt learner. Although we presented different cities, most of us basically had the same structure.

4) What is your analysis of your performance?
The way I presented my presentation was clear and loud. I was not nervous at all because I have had this experience severel times my life and I am confident that I will not stumble in any place. I tend to get nervous in front of a sea of people. I think I did okay.

Here is my powerpoint:

My learning profile

Introduction

These past few days,we have been learning about our profiles and how we learn.This post is going to be about my learning profile.You might learn how I can achieve my highest goal in learning in the passages below.It will give you a better detail about my strategies of learning.

Learning Profiles:

1.)I learn best when I combine all three ways of learning which are:Visual,kinesthetic and auditory. When I am reading, I need to say it out loud or nothing will sink in. My primary learning skill is auditory.Secondly,I do like fiddling as it helps me to concentrate more in class.When I fiddle with something,and I tend to listen easier. One of the things that I prefer to touch is my pencil or pen when I am focusing,which also means that I am a kinesthetic learner. When they tested me a few years ago,they found that I learn best through my auditory and visual skills.Pictures and bright colors help me understand more too.

2.) I need to have movement when I am trying to learn.I often rock my chair back and forth and need to fiddle with something and I am easily distracted when people are talking or moving.My best way to learn is by jumping.For example,I learned how to say jump in Italian because my cousin and I were playing a jumping game and that word is stuck in my head.That is because I jumped and said that word many times out loud.However,I enjoy listening to pop music in a low and soft volume.

3.) The strategies that would help me in my learning is to repeat what I have learn a few times. Repetition reenforces facts into my brains so I can process and remember.If I have a tough time remembering things,I relate it to something else.For example,in our history text book, a tough word like Australopithecus,I remember Australia. I also have to have a clean desk so that nothing distracts me. Bullet points helps me tidy up my thoughts.

4.)I would like my teachers to know this about me.I listen better on my left ear and my right hand is my dominate hand.This means that I tend to use my right brain more than my left brain.This picture below tells me that I am more of a Holistic thinker,intuitive,creative,and art and musically inclined.I need to heighten my analytical thoughts,logic,language and science and math.

My right foot is my dominate side and my left eye is my master eye which is strange because I had a lazy left eye.I have learned something about me which was interesting.This was one of my favorite exercise on the blog so far.

Resolutions and snapshots

                                                      Goals

This year my gaol is to help others and I also do need to help my self but i'll help others more when I am finish with my task. I will not do their work for them, I will just help them on what I know.Although,I will help anyone who needs help to find something when I am not busy.Last year,I didn't really help others that much because I wasn't asked to.

                                                              

My other goal this year is to be better at my sports because I would like to find two sports that I am good at and I enjoy and sports are something entertain me and that is one of the things I  on my spare time. I am good at basketball and swimming but I would like to be better at other sports. I think swimming is my favorite sport and I think I will swim more often and stay fit.

                                                          
                                                     Snapshots

One of my favorite memories over the Christmas Holidays is when I opened my presents in italy.We opened it early in the morning. My favorite presents are silly bands. For Christmas,I received hair clips, silly bands,and things that I wished to have.I spent my Christmas with my family in Italy.I think Italy snows a lot but it snowed the day after I left to Malaga.

                                                            

My second favorite place that I went to was Seville and in Seville,something called Flamenco is very famous there.It is a type of dancing.They where poca dot dresses and has a furious factional expressions and they use tap dancing as one of their talents.
