We started another new topic of essay-oral history essay. I was confused when I heard this essay and I had no idea what should this essay look like and write about. I started with the wrong direction and wrong questions but I corrected those questions and the direction afterward.
Abstract and concrete nouns make me crazy! Although it should be an easy part of the grammer, but I made a lot of mistake on the homework.
We worked on our newletter this week,too. We were really out of time and it’s really not easy to write an article about things happen around us because you need to observe the issue deeply. Therefore, we all wrote an article and it took me another long time to think of a topic.
Luckly, I am a member of the student countil and every student council meeting discuss somethin interesting and we always have the chance to get the first hand information from the office =D Publish the newsletter!! I can’t wait for it!
We practiced more exercises anbout capitalization this week. And we had a test on the capitalization and other thing that we covered in the class so far. But i dramatically failed the test because I forgot to make correction!! Oh my god, it’s terrible.
Another thing we did is we wrote a college application essay. It took me a long time to think of a topic. And i knew the tone I used in the college application essay is different from the tone i used in an reflective essay. It really took a lot of time and brain to think of the language I should used.
We only had 2 classes this week =D
We finished the presentation this week and overall, mine group did a great job but the information our powerpoint contained was not enought.
We discussed our newletters this week and hope we can published our first newsletter soon! (p.s: today is 10/30, we still haven’t publish our first newsletter)
After wrote a reflective essay, we started another project. My group was to research Babylon. The internet information is really complicated and it’s too much detail. Therefore i had a hard time of condense the information and find useble information. Overall, we did a great group work and we all shared job equally.
Base words! We learned more base words! Also I started to forget previous baseword =(
Firstly, sorry for the late learning log. I keep forgot to write this
The second week of Expository Writing class was mostly working on the reflective essay.We worked from prewrote the topic and concept of the essay, to produceded the first draft and reversed the essay. Through written a reflective essay, I organized my though and my previous memory that is deep in my mind but never took serious to though before. The streetcleaner really gave me a big shock the moment I saw him but I never thought about him again after i left the street. This reflective essay really helps me reorganized my thought, not only the streetcleaner but also many other memories.
We also learnd about the capitalization. Through rapidly did exercises and discussed, I made clear that when we should use capital and when we shouldn’t.
We learned more base words and it’s really useful because I used it during my AP Biology exam and it helped me got 4 points!
