Learning Blog for December 8 2014

What did we do?
Today, we finished up our pros and cons for our Lit circle books if we didn't do so already and started on or commercial to "sell" the book so others would want to read it.

Why did we do it?
We did this to improve our skills in working in a group and also seeing the good and also bad things about something and interpreting it to seem desirable to others... I think this sounds a little too business-like, so briefly, its taking the qualities of something and "selling" it.

Reflections and connections.
I think this will be useful down the road for people who want to "sell" something to their audience and make it seem desirable and useful.

HW reminders.
Remember that the paragraph booklet is NOT due tomorrow and we will have time to work on it after winter break.

HW tips.
If you don't want any homework at all to even think about, it's best to finish your paragraph booklets now.

3wc

3 word challenge

Study: I chose study because I want to study a bit each night to expand my knowledge so when tests come I am more than prepared. Even when there aren't tests, I will try to study to know more about the topics and subjects we talk about.

Determination: I chose this because determination shows many things. I want to get a high mark for every test I do. I want to acheive my goals in school, and that is when determination comes in.

Concentration: I chose this because I am often distracted with many things while I do my work. Eletronics, people, and other things always come and distract me, which is why I want to concentrate more while doing my work, especially homework.

Three Word Challenge

Hello, my name is Vespasian and here are my three words for my  three word challenge.

Responsibility: I chose responsibility because, sometimes, I don't act my age and only my brother tells me that, (Of course) and sometimes I can be on point like my haircuts. So I have harmed my senses to behave and act responsible for a young adult my age.

Concentrate: I chose concentration because many at times I socialize with my friends when I am actually supposed to be doing my work. So all the things I do in class reflect on the way people have a perspective of me. Which I obviously do not want to be bad. I will try to do my utmost to do better and be better at concentrating in class with will them improve my grades and communication skills.

Determination: I have chose determination because I know I have to do the potential to do things that are easy for me, but, I can tell that I sometimes barely try do my best. My grade 5 teacher always said this to me "You will never know what you can achieve, until you try". So that is really motivating to know that I can do it, and I will.

Learning Log: Friday

 On Friday, we had a Teacher On Call named Mr.Choo

WHAT DID WE DO TODAY?
We worked on our paragraph booklets for a short amount of time then after we watched videos about doing the 3 word challenge. Next we worked on our 3 word challenges.

WHY DID WE DO IT?
We did it so we understood a little bit more of our paragraph booklets and we did the 3 word challenge because the end of 2014 is coming and no one ever does their new years resolution. Also the 3 word challenge is much easier to stick by.

HOMEWORK REMINDERS
Just in case, anyone forgot for homework, we have the 3 word challenge to do and dialectical journals for Monday.


3 Word Challenge

Hello everyone, my name is Philip H and this is my 3 word challenge

-Loyal because there were some times where I chose my friends instead of my family when my family needed me most

-Effort because I need to put more effort into everything such as school and soccer. I don't always put a full effort into my homework and projects.

-Concentrate: I need to concentrate more at school and concentrate on what the teacher is saying so I won't be confused on what to do for the rest of the class.
