Pharaoh iMovie Reflection

I and Shivank were partner. As we were working on our project, we first when to Google. Then, we typed in King Tutankhamun facts for kids. Then, we pressed the first one. There were some good facts. We put it in our fact writer.

As we gathered our whole facts, we put the scripts. We thought the script was very long and thought that we will do very good.

Then, we went to iMovie. We put pictures first because you have to drag media to record it. As we recorded our voices, it was only 1:20 seconds. The teacher actually said that your iMovie has to be for about 3 minutes to 4 minutes. Then, we had to film about tutankhamun. It was about Shivank (Tutankhamun) being the king and lastly Shivank (Tutankhamun) getting assassinated by me (Murderer). Then it became roughly about 3 minutes. As we finished, we were saved.

City Connection Reflection

I did well on my historical factors. At first, I had trouble on my homework especially on historical factors. So, I went to my academy which helps on homework, English and math and got some help. But our math teacher didn't know what historical factor was too. He was thinking but suddenly he told me what it is about. He told me to go to the Seoul's official website and find some information about historical factors.

I would improve my project by doing the project on that day our teacher gave us. Usually, i play on the day the teacher gave us the project and I do my project on the last day we have to do. Like now, I'm doing this in the library and today's the last day. Then, that's the time I get sleepy the next day and I happen to rush the project. After I finish, I should double check my work. When I happen to do my project on the night, I get sleepy and I am too lazy to double check my work.

Learning Profile

I learn best when I use technology. I love technology. If I use pencil and paper, it would hurt my had and it will give me many spelling mistakes. But for technology, my hands are comfortable to just type and the computer will just check the spelling mistakes.

I need no distractions when I'm studying. I get distracted really well. Even if it is a small thing. One day when I got a PSP, I just thought of my PSP. I couldn't concentrate on my class well. When Manchester United plays soccer, and if I couldn't watch the game because it's too late, I go on the school computer and see the results. For the PSP, I can change it by bringing the PSP everywhere I go so that I can see my PSP and I won't get distracted. For soccer, I can change it by just looking at the results in the morning.

The strategies that would help me in my learning is to listen to music while studying. One of my new year resolution was to just concentrate in one thing. But, when I try it, it makes me bored and sleepy without entertainment. So, when I am doing my homework, I need some entertainment so that I can get good grades. So, sometimes if my mom tells me not to listen to music, I get annoyed a lot because music is my favorite entertain in everywhere. But then I just stop because it feels like she will take the speaker away. So, I asked my mom to buy me a laptop but she says now is not the time to own a laptop.

I would like my teacher to know that I don't care about sleeping. Even if it is school days, I just watch things that I like on the television. For example I really like this team called Manchester United in soccer and when it's their game, I just quickly do my homework and go on the sofa and watch the whole game. Sometimes I may get bored of it and sleep but I really don't care about sleeping. The other thing that I want to let my teacher is that when I usually wake up in the morning, it feels like something is in my eyes. So, I take out the things in my eyes. But, after about 1 period it gets back to normal. Many teachers asked me whether if I am sleepy when I am actually not sleepy.

Introducing Myself

Happy New Year! This is now 2011. What does people usually do when it is 2011? They say wishes. I have wishes too! I'm going to share it in this blogpost.

My 2 resolutions and goals are going to church every week and get my grades up. For the first reason of going to church every week, I usually do not go to church every week when I'm supposed to. I usually get disturbed by food, games and playing. I think I should go to church everyday from now on so that I will get good luck from my God. For my second resolutions, I want to get my grades up. Usually I don't try my best for assignments so that's why I get bad grades. But I am doing my best for this blogpost and I hope I'll get a good grade so that I can get my grades up. The second reason is that, if my mom say I get all A's for my grade, she will buy me an iPhone. I wanted an iPhone so badly that I almost sing around about iPhone.

One talent I am good at is playing soccer. People told me I'm really bad at midfields and strikers because my stamina is very poor. Because of that, I started playing goalkeeper. One of my friends was good at midfield but also good at goalkeeper. Then, he started to teach me how to play goalkeeper. As he was teaching me about 3 years ago, now I'm quite good. My friend taught me how to dive and catch the ball. Because of my friend, in the soccer tournament which happened in about October 2010, I only got one goal scored out of 5 games. But with bad luck, I got to the B team. Now, I hope I will go to the Phuket team which gets to travel to Phuket and play soccer.

So, These are the things that I dream for and talents. I like to play soccer and would like to be a goalkeeper when I grow up but my parents disagree with the idea. At first, I thought my parents were saying no because I was bad at goalkeeper. But then, as time went, I had a chance to show me parents how good I am. I played really well and my mom said I did very good. But then, I suddenly realized that my parent disagrees because of me. They are worried about my face appearence because you have to play in the sun. I'm still getting a dream of playing goalkeeper in the future and I will never give up.

Literature Circle Reflection of Working Together

The benefits of working together is that you could have less work than usual. At usual, you have to do 2 passages, questions and vocabulary but in working together you can just do one each. The other reason that is good is that you could have better grades. If your partner is good and you're bad, then you'll have better grades than usual.

The challenges I had to overcome was when I was too lazy. Since I just did 1 passage, question and vocabulary, I feel myself lazy. When  you had to do 2 passages, questions and vocabulary, I just said to myself hey Jung Hun have lots of work to do and you should do it fast. But if I work with a partner I would say hey Jung Hun just play a bit more because you got less to do. That was the challenge I had to overcome as working together.

New understanding came into my mind when Shivank and I had a different type of writing. If Shivank had different type of writing compared to me, I would tell him to change it. I was selfish. But, I could understand he's style of writing.

Literature Circle Reflection

The literature circle helped me to understand the novel in many ways. The first way is that if you didn't understand the bit of a paragraph, someone in your group might have chosen that and the person who chose the paragragh will explain about the paragraph and you will know what the paragraph is about. The second way is that when you say something wrong about the story, the people in your group will tell you why you're wrong. So, that helps us to understand more about the novel.

Some of the connections I made was when Brian got lost, I also got lost in Korea. When Brian was got lost from the plane, I was also lost.

I have a prediction that the plane would come get Brian to rescue or he will find out a way to go back to where he live. The reason I predicted this is because most of the endings in novels about someone being stranded on an island ends like that. Same as the book "Call it Courage" Mafatu was stuck on an island and he finds out a way to get back to the island.

Jung Hun's Blog Entry

I took a photo of my iPod touch. This image has 1 line of symmetry. There is a symmetry from the top edge middle of  the iPod Touch to the down to the edge middle bottom of the iPod Touch. The image intersects the side of the iPod Touch.
