Uploading Blogs (11/17/20)

 In today's class, Mr. Paterson gave back individual feedback to those who had joined our class from the second semester. Everyone else could utilize this time to work on assignments. I decided to work on uploading some previous blogs I had not had the time to write. 

Even though the second semester is the longest semester out of the three we have each year, I felt that I had been doing a decent job at posting content filled blogs frequently until recently. The month of November is when we have the most assignments and reports due, so I did not have quite as much time as I had before to post blogs within the three-day period of each class. Last year, I had not even taken note of what I had done in each period, so I made it extremely difficult on myself when I was trying to write up the many overdue blogs before the end of the semester. I have learned from that, and now I take notes on what I did on what day, so I can have the content needed to write a good reflection blog. Although I recently have not been able to post the blogs as consistently, I think I have been able to get myself in the habit of writing blogs, compared to last year. 

Additionally, when writing the blogs, I feel as though my level of spelling has dramatically decreased. This is probably because of me being too dependent on the app Grammarly, which automatically corrects my spelling within seconds. I also use the feature that when you double-click a word, the synonyms of that word come up, and I am able to select what word would be better in that sentence frequently. With this feature, I feel my range of vocabulary has increased, with being able to utilize more advanced vocabulary within my writing, which is an overall plus. I feel that I need to become more cautious about my spelling, and if I am aware of this, it will be the most beneficial way to continue utilizing Grammarly and these kinds of useful tools.

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 ...
