Today I had our first literature circle in term 3. This is maybe the first and last literature circle that we're going to have in this term. Basically, this literature circle is a little bit different from the previous term. This term, we learned how to self regulate, which means we need to do the literature circle without having Mr. Rob to check on us every 5 minutes. But to make sure we really do the literature circle, Mr. Rob asked us to record our voice or video the discussion. In literature circle, my task is to be the vocabulary enricher. The vocabulary enricher job is to find at least 5 unknown words, or words that are unfamiliar to you and then the next thing they should do is find the definition, synonym, antonym, etymology, as well as the picture or representative.
Yup. My group's terrarium is nearly done. The only thing that we need next is extra sand, sky background, and the animals. We put the cacti inside the terrarium, and we make a little oasis in the middle of it. After doing all the terrarium stuff, our next task is to continue creating our biology quiz. We should make 20 points quiz that includes the questions about ecosystem, taxonomy, biogeochemical cycle (2 cycles), food web, and domain, Kingdom. The duedate for this quiz is on Monday (2/03/15). Today we continued reading the novel. Finally I could finish from chapter 1 until 10! good job!:) I cant wait for friday, because we're going to have our first literature circle. So far I find this book very interesting, but there are too much words that I don't understand:( that is why I always open the visual thesaurus to look the words up. Hope the literature circle will be super fun! Finally, today I could come to school. I was absent for the whole last week, I have to catch up so many assignments!:( OHNO!! Today, my group and I continued in building the terrarium. Today, I brought 3 cacti plants with its pot. We figured out where to put the cacti, but unfortunately we were running out of sand. We took some notes on materials that we needed and what to do next with the terrarium. We did dig a hole in our terrarium to make the oasis. After building it, we had another task. Our next task is to write reflection about each members' contribution. After that, we made our own quiz about ecology, taxonomy and other things that we had learned. The quiz is due on next monday. Hope I can finish it on time :) Yesterday was Chinese New Year. So yesterday we don't have Biology class. On friday, Ms. Disty told us to split the class. For the first period, we will have English and for the second period we have Biology class at the second floor. Today, apparently I was absent. I was not feeling that well, and so my dad asked me to get some rest. At around the afternoon, I went to Pasar Barito with Musa to buy some of the materials that are needed for our project. I asked Putri 1 about today's task in both English and Biology class. English Class: Reading the class novel until the second period. Biology class: continue making the Terrarium, putting the soil in the aquarium and decide what to put next. Yesterday I went to the doctor, because my throat hurts real bad. The doctor said that my blood pressure is apparently low, and my tonsils are swollen. I can't eat, drink, and breathe. He asked me if I wanted to do tonsil surgery, but I refused to do it:( im too scared hehe. The doctor gave me 3 medicines and an antibiotic. He suggested me to not to go to school this week to get some rest. No school = many assignments waiting for me!:( no way So today I texted my friend about what they were doing in English class. My friend told me that it was very boooooring, since they need to fill out the reading log about 3 articles. oh my god, this term we had TOO MUCH reading log that we need to fill out :( boo. I was absent on monday. Yes, I was sick AGAIN. I couldn't eat that day, neither drink. My throat is killing me!:( My dad told me to stay at home, to get some rest and later at noon, I will go to the doctor. So, I asked my friend about what they were doing in biology class. Putri told me that we started to construct the terrarium today! I'm sorry for not helping the team member constructing the terrarium that day:( They put up some soil and discussing about the terrarium. I did skype call with them to join the discussion. :) I hope tomorrow I'm going to feel better.
Guess what? IT'S FRIDAY!:) today, we continued making our poster and my group can finally finished it on time. After making the poster, Mr. Rob gave us another task, which is making our own story using figurative language. The title of the story is after the rain. AFTER THE RAIN The grey clouds are gathering above the sky. The sky was gloomy as the raindrops thundered down, crashing on the tin roof. "BOOM" "CRASH" I could hear the sound of the thunder tormenting and harassing the soggy ground. It sounded like the buzzing of angry bees. Eventually, the noise lessened as the sky began to lighten up. The clouds are drifting underneath the glimpse of sunlight. In Biology class, my group and I finalized the design for our terrarium. We made several options for the design incase one of them is not working out well. Tomorrow is actually the due date for the final proposal, let's just hope we can finish everything on time. After designing the terrarium with photoshop, we searched for Gecko Sunglow through the internet. We found the contact number of the person who sells Gecko Sunglow, YAY! Gecko sunglow is a gecko that can can survive in the desert. So it perfectly fits my terrarium.
