They Won't Have Any Options If They Are a Victim

When he/she is a victim, there are no options because there will definitely be a guard to see if they are running away or not. For example, when Nazis soldiers are attacking Jewish shops, there will be tons of police to see what is happening. Since there are "tons" of police, at least one of them would spot if someone is running away. Many Jewish would attempt to run away from Kristallnacht. For example, in the handout, there was a girl who's father was arrested. In the beginning, it said two guards watching the front house. So, they won't have any options. They have to stay at home quietly while the soldiers are destroying the house/shop.

Holocaust

The picture in there shows a Jewish man with a Communist symbol. You can see the Communist symbol between his arm and his body. It has the Communist mark. He is voting for the Communist since the Nazis are being mean to the Jews. This was an advertisement along the Jews. They also agreed to this man because the Jews hate Nazis. This message might be sending to the Communist please help us. His hand is in front asking for help. His knife represents cruelty. To interpret this, it means, Communists, please help us from this cruelty. In my opinion, this shows a positive message because what is so bad about sending a help message to people. This will also effect all those people who are living as a Jew because all of Jew wants to be free from the Nazis. But he is holding money. This might be the Jewish man offering money for help.

Learning Profile Blog Entry

I learn best when I am focusing better on the details. Since I am an auditory and a visual learner, I can get information better using my eyes or my ears. So in order to learn better, I should get photos or sounds about the topics that I learn. I also have to use technology to get myself in a good mood of learning. If I use pencil and paper, my hands would start to hurt and waste time doing some massages for my hand.

I need to be planned for the next class. I also have to get my writings structure. I have to positive and be enjoyable in order to improve my learning. I can't have any distractions when I'm studying. One day, I couldn't concentrate on one thing, so I ended up doing all my homework until 12 o'clock. I did the following when I was doing my homework: After one question, I go my computer and play games; After another question, I go to Facebook and start chatting with my friends.

The strategies that would help me in my learning is to listen to music while I'm doing my homework. Since I'm the auditory learner, I can concentrate better with relaxing music. If there isn't any music, I would fall asleep because homeworks are boring. So, in order to make myself woken up, I need some entertainment from the music. The other strategy that could make my learning better is to get all my essay planned before I start writing.

Something that I want to let my teachers know is that I don't really like listening for too much. Even though I'm an auditory learner, I think too much is too much. My ears get hurt and I start thinking of other things automatically. So, I can't concentrate if there's too much talking from the teacher.

Meaning of My Name

My name, Jung Hun(김정훈 written in Korean), has some useful meaning. Jung came from generation. For example, My grandfather’s name is Kim Jin Du and my grandfather’s brother’s name is Kim Jin Chool. Notice that there are all Jin’s in their names. My father’s name is Kim Gun Ho. My uncle’s name is Kim Sung Ho. For that generation, they used the name Ho. In my generation, we use Jung. I don’t have a brother so, my cousin’s name is Jung Bin. Then, Hun was created by my grandparents. Hun means useful to the country. My grandparents put a Hun in my name because they wanted to make me a diplomat. (I don’t really like the choice)

I had a nickname called Edwin. I copied that name from one of my favorite Manchester United goalkeepers (now retired) called Edwin Van Der Sar. It was in 4th grade when I had the name. I told all my friends to call me Edwin because I felt that was a great name. At 5th grade, almost everyone started to call me Edwin. But I found out that it was very weird to use that name because it’s kind of funny to copy an unusual name. So, now, when people call me Edwin I won’t really like it that much.

I like my name because I want to be something useful to the country. I want to be famous in the future and tell people about South Korea. I don’t really have a dream yet, but my only dream is to tell people how amazing and cool South Korea is.

End of the Road

The piece of work that I'm most proud of was my 1st survival tic tac toe. This is because we paired up with 3 people including me. Then, we started to pick 3 projects to do. After that, we divided our parts of what we're going to do. But if we need any help, we helped the project that the guy who needs help. My best learning in class is to work in partners. It's because we could finish work faster, and help each other when we need help.

My greatest challenge was the Malaysia Week during the year. This was a challenge because you're leaving in wild. These days, I got addicted to computer games. During Malaysia Week, you'll have no computer games, TVs (Some sites has TVs), no movies, etc. But I found that other than all those computer games, TV, movies there are still more fun things to do in the world. These days, I started to reduce my gaming time.

As a learner, I learned that books aren't that boring. Long time ago, I rarely read books. But as I came to ISKL, they made us read a lot. Everytime I read books, I start to yawn, get sleepy. But as I got older, books are actually quite fun. Then, at the beginning at the 6th grade, I didn't even want to see long books. But in the end, I tend to read longer books than usual.

My organization in class is satisfactory. I always bring my planner, binder (if needed), pencil case, etc. to class. Sometimes, I forget to bring it because I leave my homework at my house and in the end, I will forget to bring my folder and homework.

Goal number 1 for grade 7: My first goal is to try to get all A's for class. It would be harder than 6th grade but I will have to put more effort in my projects and homework.

Goal number 2 for grade 7: My second goal for grade 7 is to listen to the teachers without getting distracted. To do this, I have to improve on my concentrating.

I would like the teachers to know I look sleepy but I'm not that sleepy. (Sometimes I am) People say hey I think you should get a sleep to me. But I wasn't that sleepy. They reason I think I look sleepy is because my eyes are small. For some reason, my eyes are very small and somtimes people teases me!

My favorite activity in humanities was survival tic tac toe. We spent a lot of time recording, writing, typing. It took us approximately 1 month to finish our projects. But it was worth it because I got a satisfied grade for our final grade for our tic tac toe project.

Advice that I would pass on the the Class of 2018 (The following 6th grade) is to tell them to do their homework and projects well. In 5th grade, we didn't have to do projects and homeworks well because it won't be graded. But in middle school, projects, and homework. If you did your homework, GOOD!! because that will be graded too. So, you have to put effort in every single projects and homeworks.

Lit. Circle Blog 1

We have been reading a book called "The White Mountain." After we've finished reading, to see that we have actually read the book, we did this activity called Literature Circle. This was to improve our reading and to see if we read the book. I think this really helped us. Then, our teacher gave us a topic so that we could write a blogpost. The topic was How is Will just like you? And I will answer these.

Firstly, Will is a guy who likes to travel around. But then, while traveling in the White Mountain, he was caught by the Tripods. This is like me because I like to travel. During the traveling, he makes things complicated. At spring break, I made big mistakes at Phuket. When we were on the beach, I went too far and almost got swished by the ocean. That made our traveling harder.

Books, Books

I am telling you about this book called Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Ugly Truth.

This book made me think about how the main character does and how the author formats the outline of the book.

This book challenged me as a reader by underestanding the cheese touch. The cheese touch is when the guy who touches the cheese or gets touched with the cheese gets the cheese touch. They can prevent the guy who gets the cheese touch by crossing their fingeres.

Don't read this book if you hate reading diaries because this is the diary of the main character called Greg.
