English
Quarter 1
What did I learn?
This quarter in English, we learnt about propaganda and propaganda techniques. Besides propaganda, we also reviewed about MLA format and also some grammar practices. We did an MLA format test, a propaganda presentation and also a propaganda essay.
Why was this my best work?
I think my best work was my propaganda essay. Although I don’t know the score yet, I did put my effort in the essay. It was something I was once interested in, so I did have basic information in my head and it wasn’t to hard for me, and it was also quite fun doing it since it was something I’m interested and I know about.
What did I do well?
I did well picking the topic, or more the country itself, which is Japan. I like Japanese comics (manga) and animation (anime) a lot, and I once listen to J-Pop (Japanese pop) music. I did went to Japan recently too, and I like the country itself very much. I also read some basic Japanese characters, so basically the assignment that was given wasn’t hard for me that already has the basic information. We have to pick an advertisement from japan and analyze it’s propaganda techniques or make 3 points to make an argumentation essay. As the advertisement I chose is in Japanese language, I can read it only a little bit but this helped me a lot in making the points for the essay itself.
How can I improve?
I didn’t think I really get the format of the paper correct. I think I should have not put the picture in that place since it ruined the format, so next time I should focus more on the little things. I was listening to my friend after all, so maybe next time I am not sure about something I should go ask the teacher myself rather than having another friend answer it because it’s not very reliable sometimes.
How does this sample relate to global context?
The global context that will relate the most to English this quarter is scientific and technical innovation because it relates to the propaganda and how it works.

Quarter 2
What did I learn?
In englsh this quarter, we read a book called Banner in the sky. Along with the book, we did literature circles and also a packet of questions (based on each chapter). We also did a creative writing and a reflective essay, “Walking in someone else’s shoes”.
Why was this sample my best work? What did I do well?
I’d choose my reflective essay for my best work this quarter. I think I did quite well to compare to my creative writing. I did get a good score in this writing, and I am really satisfied that the teacher also found little errors in my writing. My grammar and sentences were more or less effective, so there were so little correction marks in it.

What can I improve?
There are still correction marks, and this might be something to look forward to improve in next time I have a writing work. How does this sample relate to Global Context? (Orientation in Space and Time/Globalization and Sustainability) This sample relates to Orientation in Space and Time. It’s more about reflecting back to our past. |
