Hunger Games Assesment

My partner and I spent our time doing our Hunger Games assessment during humanities. So far, we were almost done with our Twitter. But we need to finish fast with our newspaper headline and the quotes of Katniss.

Hunger Games Assesment

My partner, Sashank finished the ticket, and now we need to finish the quotes, twitter and newspaper headline.

Luttrell Psalter

What is the Luttrell Psalter? What does it portray?
Commissioned by a wealthy landowner in the first half of the 14th century, is one of the most striking to survive from the Middle Ages. Painted in rich colours embellished with gold and silver, with vitality and sometimes bizarre inventiveness of decoration, this manuscript is unlike virtually any other.

The painting are about the king, priests, monks and the peasants. The peasants look really unhappy, and they are wearing poor clothes. The two monks on the right side are not looking happy about the king. The priests look like they are happy to talk to the king. The king looks a little sad, and he is holding a cup. The food on the table are rich foods.
People having
What type of source is the Luttrell Psalter?
The second source, because it tells more details and text about it.

What is the Luttrell Psalter a unique document?
Because it tells about how the middle ages were. It also tells us they are systems, ruler, wars, etc. Plus, middle ages are interesting to learn because their times were similar to ours. It is also interesting about their wars because, we mostly use guns, bomb, etc to kill and conquer countries and people during war. But they use horses, spears, bombs, swords. And also to know that how many war they participate and how many lands they conquer and who was the hero.

Learning Profiles

When I observe about my profile, I figured that I need to sit a little bit on the left facing Mr. Peters, because I listen with my right ear, and I see with my left eye. So that there might be a possibility for me to pay attention more.

1. I learned best when Mr. Whitting and Ms. Recter told us about the Gestalt and Logic, because I didn't really get what is the different, and now I understand.

2. I need to sit where I would be comfortable enough to hear and see the teacher, because I could pay attention more.

3. The strategies that would help me in learning would help me a lot, because, in my profile, when I forgot something that was important, I would do the Lazy 8 to refresh my memories and I could remember it what I forgot.

4. I would like my teacher to know about this, because he could help me to study more, move my seat, etc, so that I could be comfortable with my educations.

Taking A Stand

The Germans were going to throw stones at the Jewish shop tomorrow, but Andre doesn't know what to do, so he ask his father what should he do. But his father said that it is his decision. When he came back to his house, his parents were on his table, discussing. And Andre said that he decided to not throw stones at the Jewish shop, because he doesn't feel right to do it. So, his parents decided to leave Germany.

I would not throw stones at the Jewish shop, because, I would imagine that we are all humans. There are no difference, we are all the same. So I feel wrong that we are attacking our own kinds, so I would not throw stones at the Jewish shop. 

Analyzing Visual Images

Describe what you see in the picture. Consider color, placement, people and objects, and composition. Everything that you see.

In the picture, I see family who are happy and celebrating. The color is just black and white. I see that the family are happy with together and there is a young girl who is holding a doll with a smile. And I think they post this poster, because, they want to describe their citizens how their nations are healthy and happy when they join the Nazi party.

Interpret: Guess about the creator is trying to express through the caption and images. Why is this message being conveyed?
Evaluate: What is the intended purpose of this image? The intended audience? Does the image achieve its purpose?

I think the creator post this photo especially for posting it for party votes, because this image is about family and happiness, and I think that's what Germany wants, to be happy with peace. This image also tells to make a happy family, a wife, kids, etc. And this would have a lot of people to join the party who created this image.

Today we studied some of the aspects of propaganda and its uses, particularly in regard to Nazi Germany. First of all, answer this question: What is the definition of the wordpropaganda? Next, why was it used so extensively by Hitler and the Nazis?

Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position. Hitler was posting a lot of posters, and with the announcement he made to bring the people to join him, but the Nazis were also giving a responsible laws to join them, and they were also posting more posters.

Where do they stand?

The person we read was Elisabeth von Kohler. She was a strong sense of German traditions. She would like to see the republic lead a democratic Europe. Her sense of justice is even more outraged by the way the Allies, particularly France. And she is also proud to be an attorney and a German woman in the Weimar Republic. We think that Kohler would join Social Democratic Party Platform, because it's laws says that it will support the present German republic so that freedom, democracy, and justice will live in the hearts of our German countrymen, and that is what she wants. I think there would be less people who would join her, because, she is to straightforward like men.

Adolf Hitler

• Adolf Hitler was among those veterans who struggled to find a place for themselves in 1919.
  
• Hitler, in particular, wanted to distinguish himself.
• Born in 1889 in a small Austrian town, he was one of six children, four of whom died in childhood. His father died when he was fourteen and he lost his mother a few years later. By then Hitler had left school with little more than an eighth- grade education and dreams of becoming an artist.
• When the war began, Hitler was a drifter struggling.
  

8 and 10 are unfair because 8 is giving excuses for foreigner peoples because some made their home at Germany, but they need to move on and waste their savings to move another country. And some foreigners might have their family and friends who are Germans, and they need be separated from them. 10 is also unfair because the foreigners would not know German languages, so they don't know what is happening in Germany.

If they have 2 nationality, do you need to leave after August 2, 1914?

I would have said that leave that person alone, because, he would gotten hurt by the gang and would do something worse to him.

Religions Field Trip Reflection

This Hindu temple called 'Sri Mahamariamman', and the place is really wide and big, and I think it is almost bigger than the mosque. The Hindu temple looks a lot more creative than the Buddhist temple and the mosque, because Hindu temple have a lot sculptures, and it is really creative and talented pattern. I could just imagine how hard they created the pattern of the tower that looks like a pyramid. It have a lot of decoration inside, and it is also crowded. I think Hindu is close to Buddhist and Islam, because, Buddhist have a lot of creation, and Islam, they need to wash their hands, elbow, mouth, hair, legs. But Hindu is close because they need to wash their feet before entering the temple, and it is same as Islam.

This temple is really creative with a lot patterns, but the place is small. I could see that there are two ancient looking guards, two golden dragon, and a lion statue. In this photo, the Buddhist temple have a lot of red color, but when we went inside, it have a lot of decorations. Buddhist temple is almost similar to Hindu temple, because both of the temple are creative and almost colorful. It also have a lot of pattern.
The mosque looks like a quiet and a sacred looking place. When I took this picture, I can't see a person, except tall trees and the mosque. Although it looks quiet, but the building is wide and big. I could also see that there are a lot of door patterns, and 2 tall towers. What I think that mosque is not really similar as the other temple, because it is not really colorful, but the patterns are nice, almost similar to the Hindu temple and Buddhist temple.

Hindu temple and Buddhist temple uses fire to pray or to use for something, and they use sculpture to describe their Gods, but Islam doesn't use sculpture and fire, but they use water to clean themselves, and it is same as the Hindu. Hindu temple is similar to Buddhist temple and Islam. But Islam is a little different than the two temples, because, they don't have sculpture, they have a big place. They pray in front of a sacred scripts which was hanging on the wall. And Islam people wash themselves in a different way. First they clean their hands until the elbow, then the mouth, face, ear, hair, and then legs. Islam place looks like a quiet place, like sacred and the place was also wide and big compared from the two temples. But Hindu temples is a lot bigger than the Buddhist. Hindu believes that there are a lot of different kinds of Gods, that can reincarnate, guide you, help you, giving you a good luck or bad luck, etc. Islam believes that when they do a good deed, they would have no harm from the Gods. Buddhist believes that when you do a good deeds, there is a God that send you a happy place when you died, but if you do a bad deeds, there is a devil that would keep your bad spirits away. I like all of them because they were really interesting! I learned many things about it, and it was fun! I love to see the places, the decorations that they made, how they build it, what they believed, what they need to do, and their festivals.

Aushwitz concentration camps

How long the prisoners lived in the camp?

The Boy in the Stripped Pyjamas Blog Answers

If you disagree with a rule,law, or public policy, it is better to remain silent then to speak out and risk punishment: I would think that you could speak out first on the right time, if there are a lot of people who votes to disagree with laws, then you have a bigger chance of not risking your life. And if you have a bigger people who votes for you, the laws would change into better life, and you wouldn't suffer any laws, rule, or public policy.

What is a 'Good' life?

Good life are peoples who are lucky. They would be very lucky enough to survive by having a wealthy family. What I heard that, before you were born, you were a different person. And if that person have done a good things along his journey, he will be very lucky when he is born.

My Identity

The Chronicles Of Narnia

So far, I read about two peoples in the book. One was Polly a female, and Digory a male. They were talking about Uncle Andrew. (Pg 1) This is a story about something that happened long ago when your grandfather was a child. I chose this passage because it tells me that our grandfather had gone thorough a lot of journeys.

Post Discussion Reflection (March 2nd )

During the discussion, I felt really good on the passages and the 2nd question. Because, I had a good explanation and my group had agreed what I was saying. I was really at that part. I have also already get used to my group because we spend a lot of time discussing with each other and I have became their friends ( Girls). I also realized that it is the last day of the Literature Circles and I am really happy because, the Literature Circles is quite busy and the blog post too. I also don't read books much, so I dislike reading books. But what I have learned from the Literature Circles, is helping me to learn a lot of sentences and a lot of vocabulary to use. I now realized that we are having another Literature Circles, and I think it is going to be a lot fun reading the new book because, I have increased my knowledge of reading books. I am excited to read a new book.  

Post Discussion Reflection (Feb 23rd)

The yesterday discussion of The White Mountains was really brilliant. I have explained really well to push my effort forward. I was really focusing on the discussion group. I felt really happy with my first question because, my first question was really interested that my group could answer little details. I was so happy that I have improved a lot and I feel that I'm going to get a wonderful grades on the discussion. But I feel pretty bad about one of group, because her question was really obvious from the story and but she was really good on the important passages. I realize that my passages didn't gave much details, but I'm still proud of what I did on the discussion. I am also happy of learning how to do Literature Circles, and using blog to send to my teacher. I really, really feel that I have done successful work and because of this, I hope that I would be a successful student in the class.    

Post Discussion Reflection (Feb 17th)

Today's Literature Circles was very interesting. My group have gave a interesting good question and the passages too. We were really acting courage and it makes sense for helping myself to support my answers and supporting some of my group pupil. Although it was interesting, I accidently made the 4-6 SENTENCES into 4-6 WORDS. I couldn't believe that I did that, but in the next 2 chapter, I will do it so well that my grade would be better than the my last grade. It makes me happy that I am improving very well. And I hope that my grade would keep it up and wouldn't have many struggling in my homework and my tests. 

Post Discussion Reflection (Feb 12th)

Last Tuesday, the discussion with my group was really interesting and this time I showed a lot of wonderful answers and giving supportive sentences and understanding. The chapter that I read before last Tuesday ( Feb 9) was really exciting and I had understand the readings from the book. And I was correct from my Literature Circles 2 in my question. I was really happy that I am changing myself to be smart, a lot effort in ideas and understanding what my group are saying. I hope that my grade would have a better score in Literature Circles 2. I also think that The White Mountains would be even more interesting and has a lot of adventures and several dangers.  

Post Discussion Reflection (Feb 3rd)

The discussion that we did yesterday with my group, I was really amazed and it was so interesting. I can't really understand from reading the book. But then, my group discussed a lot of interesting passages and questions. I now understand what I read from the book. I also don't understand many different new words from the book, but my group helped me a lot to understand. I thought that Will's father was a clockman, but I was wrong. They explain to me that he is a mill. And the person who work for the watch is the clockman. No wonder that I was really confused because I misread. Will's father had a famous watch which I thought that he made it and the clockman which I made a mistake that he is just a clockman who came to see the watch everyday. We also discussed about the Tripods, I thought that the Tripods is quite harmless, but my group discussed that Tripods are not harmless. They think that Tripods take people and observe their brains to know what were they doing in the past and maybe finding interesting ideas from the people. I think that each chapter is getting more exciting and interesting.

Wordle

                   In academic goal, I wanted to succeed A's in every subject. But I only get at least 3 A's, some B's, and some C's. But I will study really hard to achieve more A's and to make my family proud. And I could help my father's work and to help my family while my father is away. If my father died, I would still help him to succeed his work and to help my family. 

                   I have learned some lessons in ISKL and it helps me to refresh my thoughts. It was really easy when I took the test that I have already learned. The teachers had also explained very well better than my old school. I am also pleased that some of my friends helped me to answer the question that I don't know. The teacher had teach us very well and shows some skills to us.

                   I want to learn more history in humanities and in humanities is my favorite period because it was interesting. I also wants to learn more experience to learn more things from the library. I also like to do an experiment in science because it is fun and interesting. If I don't know some lesson that I don't know, the teachers are so helpful to help me. There are a lot of things that I need to know and to become really smart.

                   I want to make more friends to be really kind to me. I also need to improve myself in studies and paying attention in every period. I need to improve my vocabulary because my grade went down. In the next 6 month, I will ask my tutor teacher to give me a challenging test. I also want to enjoy the moments at ISKL.
