Reflection about the class on 17/Feb.

I learned  "K W L","K W H  L" today.


(This image is  from google)



My teacher introduced this concept before starting the textbook.

I became aware of this important and useful strategy which I can apply to my study
thanks to her teachings.  I got lack of sleep last night. However, I felt it was
worth participating to my class. Lucky day!


Procedure:

1. K—What students KNOW about the topic to be studied.
2. W—What students WANT to know about the topic.
3. L—What students have LEARNED.
4. K-W-H-L<. The H encourages students to ask themselves "How can I go about finding more information about this subject?" They are encouraged to do additional research, ask an expert, do an experiment, or use the Internet.>

Book "Revolution is not a Dinner Party"--Changing one's destiny

This writing is the result of an assignment, "If you were to change one's life/destiny,

How would you change it?".

I know life is full of hardships. But the main character,  a young girl, overcame her adversaries.

Nonetheless, I  believe the world should protect all innocent children from furious struggles.

Making up her destiny under my imagination, I would like to express my sympathy and love to her.

 A character "Ling", who is nine-year-old girl, is a narrator of this novel. She looks back to her childhood  from
the summer of 1972, when the Cultural Revolution started to flare up(heat up).
Her life had been very comfortable with her parents who were  both dedicated doctors. After Comrade Li, one of Mao's political officers, occupied a room in their apartment, Ling faced a whirl of life hardships. Her affectionate neighbor was forced into jail and disappeared.  Soon, Ling  feared for the safety of her family. Her daddy was arrested and vanished.
Nonetheless, she grew up while enduring her tough destiny in school and at home.  More than four years afterwards, she noticed the world changed back and her sufferings came to end with the return of her father.

(Below is the parts which I changed)

After her daddy disappeared, she was  determined to excape to Hong Kong, which at that time was not part of China.She practiced swimming everyday enough to cross the Han River. She and her mother barely escaped death running away from China. Luckily, they could  contact with one of their relatives.

She kept praying for her father's safety. As soon as Mao died, and a new political party became in power, she came back to their hometown.

Eventually, she met with her daddy, who got freed from the prison. Their tears were flowing down without stopping. Her ordeal ended. Nothing was left but peace to her life!

Reflection about the debate on 15/Feb.

I had a debate on the issue, " If Immigration Authorities opens the door  of  chances of immigration from
the other countries, what area  should be top priority?".
We made three groups which supports three areas, Africa, Asia, Hispanics.
I was a support of Asia, especially, Indian and China.
When my teacher leads out class to debate, nothing did I have in my minds.
My teacher mentioned the rules of debate.
1. Respect other view points.
2. Discuss no argue
3. No rambling
4. Concise reasons
5.Persuade
6. Win over!
I was impressed on this remarks. I felt how beautiful words are.
My first thought after hearing of debate was merely what logic I have to prepare
 and  what strategy we need to compete.
I had a debate while try not to forget " respect, no argue, persuade".
What I learned from the debate is the valuable lessons that I have to keep in mind
when I communicate with the other people as well as my children.

Letter planning trip to Sandiego

Hello! This is Hannah. I'm a travel partner with Stefania. 

 I'll continue to explain our travel plan, which is following Stefania's.

We will leave off the Yosemite national park(like as you know from Stefania's letter), 

and head for Sandiego city.

We will keep driving the rent car. The address of  a hotel we booked

is "1380 Harbor Island Dr San Diego". This hotel doesn't cost too much.

 Below Three hundreds dollars per day could be enough.  It is situated on a narrow

spit at the edge of Harbor Island overlooking a marina and San Diego Bay. 

 After checking  in the hotel, we will leave  the hotel towards a famous place for the

tourists. On the way there, we will eat the lunch at the “Barefoot Bar & Grill”, where

we can enjoy outdoor patio dining and live entertainment. We will be served   many  

foods; appetizers, sandwiched, burgers and salads. This restaurant's all menu is  below

40$. We have been looking for some informations on how to get the most out of our

stay in San Diego.  We chose to visit two best places. One is Sandiego Zoo.  It is

known  that More than 4,000 creatures reside at  zoo. The zoo is also an accredited

botanical garden, lavished with more than 700,000 plants. We are looking forward to

seeing many kinds of animals and plants.  The other place is Seaworld. We hope to

have a great time at Seaworld , where we can see the sea life exhibits and the dolphin

show.

Two places that I mentioned don't cost too much, neither. They cost below 500$.

We will have dinner at a food court in the seaworld. We think two places would take

whole day.  I expect your positive response about our plan. I'd like to appreciate of

your suggestion. Sincerely!
