3 Words

1. Proactive: I chose this word because I procrastinate a lot, especially when it comes to school work. Usually I leave it until right before I go to bed or the day before it is due. 

2. Effort: I chose this word because a lot of the time I try and finish my school work as fast as possible and not put much effort into it.

3. Perseverance: I chose this word because whenever something goes bad or something gets difficult, I either give up or don't put in much effort. 

Learning Blog for December 9, 2014

What did we do?

      Today we handed in our innovation fair proposals, but we didn't do anything else because of a power outage. 

Why did we do it?

      We did this so Ms. Lees could see if we finished our proposals by the deadline and to examine our innovation fair proposals to tell us whether our idea was accepted or needed some change.

Reflections and Connections

       What we did in class could help us beyond Hum 8. For example handing in an important document for a job, by a certain time.

Homework Reminders

       There was no homework assigned.

Homework Tips/Hints

       There was no homework assigned. 

Learning Blog for December 8th

What did we do?
During class today, we had our usual weekly literary circle group discussions. After we were finished with them, we were given time to determine our group goals and complete our group discussion/report section of the lit circle paper. If we happened to be done all of the above, we were given time to work on our innovation fair sheets until class was over and we were dismissed.

Why did we do it? (Learning Intention)
We have lit circle discussions in hopes of getting a better understanding of the book or being able to deeply relate to it more. 

Reflections and connections 
What we did in class today could help outside of Hum 8. For example, your friend tells you something rather intriguing at school one day but it also confuses you. You could interpret it as a direct and serious question but what if there was actually deeper meaning inside of it?

Homework reminders
Innovation fair proposals are due tomorrow
Group discussion report for lit circles are due tomorrow

Art and Craft club

Art and Craft Club!

Art and Craft club is an awesome club for those who like art. We draw, paint and do other art things. So far, we only did crafting, we made snowflakes and rocks for a Christmas project. Hopefully we finish this project before Christmas and be able to put in the hallways.

There are only 10-11 members in Art and Craft club. They are so nice, welcoming and friendly. The meetings are held on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 11:15 to 11:55 in room 125. It's an awesome chance to meet people with the same interest as you in this club.

Anime Club

Anime club is a very fun club. Basically, you watch anime on a big screen with other otakus( Otakus are true anime lovers) and sometimes you also play games. In the club, you get to meet many senpais (senpai is the japanese word for upperclassman). The club members are all very friendly and welcoming. Here, you can also learn a little about Japanese culture. It doesn't have very many members (Only about 23) but I think that brings everyone closer.

The club meetings are held every Friday after school in room 208. I would recommend the anime club to you because it's a chance to meet new people and try new things.
