Creating Websites (9/17/20)

In today's class, we didn't continue the presentations like everyone had anticipated, but instead, we were informed we would be constructing a website as a team for our book reviews. We were first shown book review videos done by previous students(our Senpai's) in Mr. Paterson's class, and I took note of how I could make my own video unique. The first thing I noticed was the various BGM's used that was corresponding to the overall theme of the book they were reviewing. If they were reviewing a mystery book, the BGM had a dark and mysterious tone to it. By adding the BGM's, I felt that it added and better emphasized the tone and significant elements incorporated in the book. Next is how summarized the video was. The video was rich in content but short and easy to understand. I don't know if I'm capable of summarizing up my presentation into a shorter video, but I plan on utilizing the app "iMovie" because I feel that it has more potential in making an intriguing and informative video. 

The teams were decided in class today, and as soon as we were given the rest of the class, my team went straight to choosing what kind of format and vibe we wanted our website to maintain. Since we had already had experience in creating a website last year, I wasn't worried but more excited to be able to create an even better website than the year before. While my team was working on the main page of our website, Mr. Paterson gave us some advice that we could insert a link into a picture. Even though I had thought I was quite aware of the various features which we were able to utilize with Google Websites, I guess you do learn something new every day. I plan on adding additional information as well as organized and simple features to create a minimalistic website.

Summary of the 1st semester

This semester, I have learned so many new things from the things Mr. Paterson has taught us. He taught all semester long how not to be scared, but to be confident in yourself, and how we can learn to become the best presenter we can be. He also introduced many of us to new useful apps, and how we can incorporate technology into our studies for the better. First, he taught us how important and useful technology is these days.At TGUISS, we first and second graders are not allowed to use our phones inside the school campus. Mr. Paterson was the first teacher and class to let us use the technology we have access to, and this let us experience and explore new things about technology that Japanese schools had been hiding for a long time. We finally got to organize everything based off of Google, and got to see how convenient everything around us was getting. Finally, he taught us how to become more confident with yourself. This is one of the reasons why he’s so passionate about giving a pr...

PR Photos (4/21/21)

In today's class, we first were told we had 7 minutes to take an appealing photo to promote our school. When doing so, there were various tactics to make the school's photos look professional or interesting to best attract new students. Prior to doing so, we were explained some bad examples of places to take pictures. First was an old building that used to actually be a pool, but the exterior made it look like an abandoned building with weeds and vines growing everywhere. Next, we were taken to look at the library. Personally, I think the inside of our library would be suitable for taking pictures, but then I could not say the same for the outside. The library has big windows, but with all of the blinds closed, you would not be able to tell that the inside is a library through a photo. I decided to take a picture at a high angle of the west building, including the blue sky so it would look more appealing. Others were taking photos of the school entrance or trying to include asp...

The Mark Of Athena (Chap. 5-8)

Chapter 5 (Leo) The ship was badly damaged. Leo wished he could create a time machine to go back two hours and undo what had happened. What he had done. When explaining what had happened to Annabeth, he tells her that he couldn't control whatever had possessed him. It just felt like he was watching himself do things. Annabeth asked him if Octavian had tricked him, but Leo knew he clearly had done everything. As much as Octavian was a jerk, he wasn't the cause of it. He told Annabeth that he had felt a cold feeling, and with that, Annabeth almost seemed scared.  Annabeth was called down belowdecks from Percy, who was with Piper and caring for Jason. He had gotten a cut on the head which looked pretty bad, he just hoped his friend was okay. Annabeth asks Frank to watch over Leo, and Leo decides to let him meet Festus. They reached the bow of the ship, and the figurehead turned to greet them. Festus was once a full bronze electronic dragon, but due to some accidents, Leo had ...
