In this video, I talk about the book “The Hate You Give” by Angie Thomas. I give a summary of this book, and I talk about the theme statement. And the reason why I recommend this book.

"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious" - Albert Einstein
Page 2 of 2
I am 80% renaissance humanist. This is because i agree with most of their point, but i am not as curious as they were, and didn’t question as much as they do. I also don’t agree with their religious view, i think that what we are currently experience is more important than what our religious bivalve told us, and focus on daily life instead of afterlife.
The found poem is created from the story “Lamb to the Slaughter” written by Roald Dahl. In the story, the main character Marry killed her husband because he wanted to leave her. The external conflict happens between marry and the rest of the world (person vs. society), she wants to cover up her murder, so she pretends everything was normal. For example, around paragraph 50, right after her murderer, she was trying to face a smile, and practice over and over, so that she didn’t seem suspicious. I include this part at the beginning to give clearer explanation of how she faced her conflict. I use word like “peculiar” smile from the text to describe more details of the Scenes. On the other hand, in the design of the page, I draw a pool of blood, and some blood on the title, it represents the blood that came from the corpse of the husband, and it match the horror theme of the story. Also, there is a leg of a lamb which is the murder weapon. At the end of the page, there is a shofar. It symbolizes that Mary’s getting away, escaping from the murder, it is a symbol of a scapegoat. At the very end, I ended the poem with an open ending. I purposely do that, so that it gives the reader a chance to imagine what will happens.

Percy Jackson is a boy who is special for several reasons. He suffers from dyslexia and ADHD, and this makes it hard to make a good impression to others. He is facing a lot of problem because of his issues, and it impacts all side of his life. His dyslexia make him impossible to read English and find school and teacher boring. So, he gets frustrated, he often says things that hurt others feeling. He clearly knows his issues and try his best to control it. However, there are some methods and strategies that could improve his life and makes things easier.
Percy’s attitude¬¬ towards school and bad learning habit is due to his ADHD. My grades slipped from Ds to Fs” (pg. 17) is an example of his less confidence in his ability to learn. He clearly knows about his ADHD, but he feels helpless, and very frustrated. ADHD often get him into trouble, he talks before thinking. “Will you shut up?’’(gp.5) is a reaction that is very inappropriate. But because Percy is unable to focus, he gets easily distract by anything. He feels annoyed and gets unable to control his emotions, this causes him to blurt out. This is also proved in “these symptoms include fidgeting; difficulty playing or wait for a turn and blurting out answers.” from the Newsela article. “Because you don’t want me around?” I regretted the word as soon as they were out (pg39). This tells us that Percy get easily annoyed. Also, he’s speech often affects other’s feeling. Even thought, he did not mean to. Witch often make Percy’s words hurting to the one he loved, and him often regrades after saying them.
Even though Percy Jackson Feel hopeless, frustrated, and that he thinks he cannot get better in his life, there are still some strategies that could improve the outcomes for the decisions he makes. “Grover tried to calm me down.” (pg3) this prove that Grover is supportive and helping friend, which is the kind of support Percy need to better deal with ADHD. According to the article, “The support affects by a carrying friends”. ‘he was the only teacher whose class didn’t put me to sleep” (pg.2) from this text we can know that Mr. Brunner always tried his best to support him, which makes Percy try his best in Mr. Brunner’s class. Even though his grades are not really good, Percy’s mom, too, is being the really supportive person in his life. “My mom is the nicest lady in the world.”, “My mother can make me feel good just by walking into the room.” These two texts from page 3 prove how supportive his mom is to him and how he responds with his love. She supports him by accepting his moods and bad temper. All the helping people can help Percy though his life. Their supportive comments to Percy make him want to do the right things and try his best to control his words.
In conclusion, Percy’s ADHD is a big reason of his bad behavior, although he tries his best to control them, the outcomes might not be good. In this case he needs the best supports from others. His ADHD, dyslexia makes him sometimes act unpleasant, but he be understood and respects.
My biggest take away from 6th grade science is that I learned more things about the nature. I have a better understanding of different habitat, this way I can know the habitat I’m in, and different habitat’s fact so I can talk about it with my families and friends.
Next year in science, I would like to learn more about nature, for example how dose different habitat form, how dose animals in different habitat act different, and this kind of topic. Nest year there is also a topic that I really want to know about is how dose climate change affect the planet.
In the unit “Our Stories Make History”, we created different projects that tell what we have experienced during coronavirus outbreak and quarantine . Our unit helped me to understand the situation in the society and the effects virus has on the world. We have created different project to remember our life during in this difficult time.
At first I couldn’t really balance my day life and the school work, but as the time passed by, I started to become more organized and efficient. The daily journal helped me to become better at writing and to improve a little bit day by day.
This could be a historian, future 6th grader to understand how do people in different places responded to the challenges during the coronavirus period. And also, this is a primary source like some famous dairy, like that written by Anne Frank.
I’m most proud of myself and my attitude towards viruses, because I did not worry excessively about it, and I tried to see things in the good light all throughout this ordeal.
below is my final project.
this is my thinglink project:
Engineering is important because it use creative thinking, and new ideas to solve the problems.
Our challenge was to find a solution for cleaning the water on a deserted island. We had to design a device that could perform.
We choose our design because it was not too hard to build and we thought the material is easy too find on the island.
You put the water into the bottle and when the water comes out, you can put is in a clean bottle .
Our design was not successful, we know this because the water came out was not clean.
If I could change my apparatus, I would not make a hole in a plastic cup but insterd the clean water in it, and not the additional bottle. Finally I would add more layers of material into the filler so that the more water will come out more cleaner.
When you blog you create posts and posts are categorised according to your subject. Some categories have already been set up for you. If you need more categories you can add them as needed. It’s important that your posts have the following:
- An engaging title – this should not include the name of the subject since this is referenced in the category.
- Body – this is where you share your learning. This can include text, images, embedded videos from Dragons’ Tube or elsewhere. You should always consider how your post looks to your audience. Is it engaging? Do they want to keep reading?
- Category – select one that has been set for you or add a new category. Posts can have more than one category e.g. Humanities and Myself as a Learner
