Parental Reaction (12/3/20)

In today's class, I finished up writing my parental document. Before giving my parents the improved version of the presentation, I had them react to the presentation I had done in class. Overall, they were impressed with the level of skill I had utilized throughout presenting but pointed out several points that could be fixed within both my presentation as well as my slideshow. These points were closely similar to the ones that I had noticed and the ones Mr. Paterson had pointed out as well, so it was a bit of a relief that those points matched up.

I was confident with the revised versions of both my slideshow and postures, but one point that my parents pointed out which Mr. Paterson had not mentioned to me was putting emphasis on my words. By doing this effectively throughout the presentation several times, the audience may be able to remember best the points where I put more emphasis and emotion into my words. I tried to become more conscious of this throughout the live presentation, and my parents were satisfied with my presentation. 

I feel that it is crucial to reflect back on your own performances regarding anything in life, from how you spent a day to how you studied up for an important exam. Also, getting advice and feedback from others is necessary when wanting to improve your work. I honestly get anxious when asking for feedback from others, because I always have the mindset that I am not showing them something perfect, therefore they will criticize me. However, I have learned that this is not at all true, and I have been given some of the best advice from my teachers and peers. At times the feedback can be disappointing for me, but by listening to the advice given, a new chance for improvement is created for me and further encourages me to fulfill and surpass the expectations.

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 ...
