My Blog

 In this lesson, we just worked on our website. What I did was start putting information I researched in my page. We will have to take picture of ourselves and finish our website until Friday.

 In this class, we worked on our own pages, or something we have to do personally. I researched s’more about the news I chose. I looked at the pictures, videos that relates to it. I think it is mostly true but I still have to research more. I will also need to right my bio paragraph, but to do that we need to shooed our aim of this website. So I guess it will be good if we can talk next class.

 In this class, we talked about what news we are going to do. We ended up with writing a website about human rights. Each one of us reporting different countries.  I haven’t really edited my page yet because I need to se. if the news is saying the right thing. As a group we still haven’t taken pictures for the bio, so I think we should take it soon. The website is due July 2nd so I want to make sure I start writing the website.

 In this lesson, we talked about the theme of the news. We ended up doing something about human rights since we were learning something similar in the other class. However, we haven't chosen if we will do the same kind of rights with different countries or do different rights with the same country or different rights with different countries. So I want to talk about it, next class. We also worked on how we show the website. Before this class, every other page we made was in the category "Home" but we decided to show each of the pages from the home page so that it is easier to find other pages.   For the next class, I want to start writing my page, and soon we will have to think of a team logo and the website title. We also haven't taken pictures so we will do that as well. I will also have to research more about the news I found to make sure I am writing the right thing. 

 In this lesson, we worked as a team and do our websites. We haven’t started with the website so we started off with this king the layout, and also made each page that we need. For the news we choose, I personally thought that we should search about some kind of news that relates with human rights because until now, we have been taught about the situation in other countries. So we made a plan to choose a news until next class, and start the website next class.  We still have thing to do as a team for example, make a logo, take picture of each ones, and also the title of the website. Maybe we won’t be able to do it next class, but I want to finish as fast as we can. We also don’t really talk that much in class so I want to make sure to have at least 10 minutes to talk about what we need to do.

In this lesson, we first had few minutes to work as a team and finish off with what we didn’t finish last class. Then after that, we all remake the group so that we could talk about what we were planning to do in the class with other people.  When we were sharing with another group, we all had different ideas and ways to make a lesson so it was really fun listening other people’s ideas. One person had an idea to do a speech about the topic at the end. Others had ideas like doing a presentation, or writing an essay. I personally think essay is the best because I think this is the way that I could represent my thinking the best.

 In this lesson, we first started off talking about what bias is. Then after that, we were splitter into teams of six and we were given a task. The task was to think about how we are going to teach about this topic and what is the order to teach if we were the teacher. As a group, we were able to finish writing 2 paragraph and what we are going to teach. I personally thought that the order should be the same because we first need to know the situation before getting other information. Then we could let them to search more for information and have them to write an essay about the topic. I think they could also write their reaction about the topic so that they could understand more.

In this class, the first half, we were showed some pictures and videos about how the Palestinians couldn’t go back home from school. There was a video showing the parents asking if they could have their child back. The second half of the class, we started watching a documentary which shows the truth of Gaza. We had few times to talk about what was happening in Gaza with our group mates. When I saw the parents asking if they could have their child back, I thought that something that is obvious to us, is not for the people in Gaza. We never had any worries if we could go home or not but the Palestinians are always worrying about it. As always, I couldn’t understand why Israel are doing such things. When we saw the documentary in the second half, I couldn’t believe what Israel did. Especially when a woman showed what they did to her house. All the things are destroyed and the curtains were cut off as well. It was more than I imagined.  There are still lot of things I don’t know about ...

 In this class, one half was introduced 3 sites to see how they are reporting Gaza, and the other half were introduced other sites. After we did a little research, we pared up with one of the other half to see how different media reported the situation in Gaza in different ways. Then we tried to find the news that was reported in a website with the other sites.  When I was researching, I thought there were some media that reports the right information. However, when I compared with the other side of the class, there were difference of the information. There were even some media reported as nothing happened. This is not the right thing to do so I think the media should think more and change how they report things.

In this lesson the even number people including me,  was taught by another student. In the first half of the lesson, they taught us about the previous lesson, and in the second half of the lesson, we discussed the Bhopal chemical plant accident in India together. We did a lot of research on this. When we researched about the Bhopal Chemical Plant Accident, same as the last few lessons, I thought the media are not giving the exact information. There was a difference between what I heard and what I researched. For example, I heard that the death people are 30 thousand but when I researched, it was like 20 thousand and some other website said it was 10 thousand. So I thought none of the site is showing the exact information.
