Hum 8 Friday Jan 6, 2012

I am so sorry for posting this so late. This is Friday's blog just to tell you.
What we did: We went to the library to finished up critiquing our blogs. We spent about 30 to 40 minutes on that. In the rest of the period, we got into our reading group and Ms.Lees handed out three webs done by other people, three green cue cards and three blue cue cards. On the green cue cards, we had to discuss and write about what was a positive thing about the webs that were in front of us, and with the blue cue cards, we had to discuss and write what was something the web should improve on.

Why we did it: Critiquing: We critiqued so that we would know our mistakes and learn from it. We also did it to have a good group communication.
Webs: We did the webs because we have to learn what sort of stuff would be a good web and what wouldn't be. It helps us to also learn form other people's mistakes too. We did the web also to have a good communication with our group members and get inspired from other people's ideas and to learn how to work as a group.

Connections/Reflections: Critiquing: It can be to do a good communication if you are in any other group stuff. And if you had someone else's work in the future, this can help you think more thoroughly. Finally, this can help you to listen more often and get inspired by other people's ideas instead of not agreeing and only thinking about your own ideas, in the future.
The web has the same idea as the Critiquing. It would help you to listen better and get inspired by other people's ideas in the future. This can actually help you to be a better friend to people in the future because a friend needs someone to listen to, not someone who talks all the time and never listens.

Homework: There is no homework but you have (or had) to finish your model by Monday.

I am really sorry for posting this right now.

Who's posting Today???

Updates

Since Christmas is over I changed the blog background into cherry blossoms since it is almost spring. For the black background in the fish game it thought it would be more fun to change the background.

My learning Log

WHAT WE DID

Yesterday we went down to the library so we can rate and critique each other's blogs. We did this by getting into groups and filling out a sheet that had the required information we had to use for the rating. Later, we went back to class to work on some practice geography challenge round. There wasn't much we did other than that.

WHY WE DID IT

We critiqued and rated each other's blogs so we can know what we did wrong and how to better ourselves by knowing our mistakes. At the same time we practiced our oral skills and group skills.

COMMENTS/CONNECTIONS/REFLECTIONS

Most of us were off task when we were in the library. I in fact was one of the worst. Some of us did get most of it done but very few finished. The geography challenge was really fun and difficult. This reminds me of the geography test all over again. Of course the practice rounds weren't easy but still inspiring.

HOMEWORK

There was no homework other than reading your novel which was assigned to you.

New account

The blog keeps kicking me out and putting me back in so I'm going to make a new account. I tried this on a new computer as well but the same problem occurred.

What we did:

Today in humanities, we got back our portfolio's, and ms Lee's told us to make sure we have all of our stuff in it. Then Ms Lees's gave us a sheet and we had to grade our work that is in our portfolio's, starting at September to December.Then for January we put our goal.


Purpose:

The purpose of this activity was to check and make sure we had all of our work inside our portfolio's and to see where our letter grade is based on our work.


Homework

Finish reading the novel because its due by monday
