Quarter1

My partner and I made a video about birthday. I didn`t know how to use PC, how can I make a video and English, hence my partner helped me very much.

The purpose is learn way to make a video, and present own report that we wrote.

I learned many things about PC. I don`t remenber how many things I learned in the project.

I also had to say who is the birthday girl or birthday boy in Augest and September. It was so hard to pronounce their name.

It related to my goal this year.

Quarter1

The activity was, to make a powerpoint. We had to made a powerpoint about ourself.


The purpose of the activity was, to present each self, because this quarter EAL had 3 newstudents,
 which is from ,Venezuela, Korea and Japan. I was one of the new student.


First, I learned how to make powerpoint presentation, because, it was 2nd time, that I made my powerpoint, because I didn`t learn how to make it in my home country. Secondly, I learned many vocabs and good grammer, it was so hard to make it, so sometimes, my father helped me.

I also presented my powerpoint in EAL class. Actually, I didn`t know that I`m going to present it, so I didn`t practice to present. So, it was hard to present. My classmate who knows how to speak my language helped me.

I think that the project related to my goal this year. In my country, I didn`t practice that present my work alone, hence I was so tense that I broke out in a cold sweat.

Quarter4

In fourth quarter, we did many fitness tests. Three of them were skiooing, shuttle runs, and push ups. Each week, we tested on a new activity, and we also had the chance to improve our fitness.On Saturday and monday, we did practice, and on Wedensday, we were tested.

The purpose of the activity was, to improve our general fitness and strength in our general fitness and strength iin our arms, legs, and heart.

Every P.E. class, we practiced 20 push ups for warm up. And at that time, I did20 times, but I was doing not good push ups. Because, on the test, my teacher told us, Bring your arm down, and it was so hard for everyone. Hence, my result on the test was about 10 times, but I learned good push ups on the test.

Quarter4

In fouth quarter, we learned a new song, it is called "We Are The World". Our teacher gave us the music with the words, and asked us, "Just sing it the best we could". Secondly, she played the tune on the CD player. Thidly, we practiced singing with the CD player.

The purpose of the activity is, to sing "We Are The World" as a class. Some groups of 2 or 3 people learned the verses  and the whole class sing the chorus. On May 30th, we will sing this song at a concert.

I learned how to sing with many people. I also learned that the song was written in the U.S.A. and singing it, they raised money for American poor people.

Quarter4

The activity was to make a dictionary of idioms, slangs and knock-knock-jokes. First, I found 12 idioms from, www. idiomsite.com, 6 slangs from www. slangsite. com and 6 knock-knock jokes from http://www.knock-knock-jokes.com/ .

The purpose of the activity is know some idioms, slangs, knock-knock jokes and use them into conversations with otheres. To know the words and use them, I can have some funs and roughs between  my friends.

I learned many new slangs, idioms, knock-knock-jokes. I already used some idioms. Idioms are easiest to use d8ring conversation. I used Rabbit Food yesterday. The meaning is food that include nuts, sheeds, and vegetables. Every lunch time, my friend bring many carots' sticks, biskets, bread, and milk. So. yesterday, I said to her, "You always have such as Rabbit Food." then  she roughed.

I also made own two knock-knock-jokes. It was so difficult to make it funny. And after I finished to make the dictionary, I presented it in EAL class. It was hard to explain my words.

The activity related to my goal this year. The activity gave me more words than I did the activity, and it gave me a practice for presentation. I'm not good at present my works, so it was so good for me.

Quarter3




The activity was, make a power point about Petroleum. Before I began to make a power point, I gathered some informations about the petroleum. I found about where was it first founded, by who. And also I gathered about how petroleum form, what is dialy used, and major effects oil has on the envirnment.

The purpse was, gathere information about petroleum, and make a powerpoint with these informations that I founded. I gathered informations from on internet, books and my father.

I learned abut many things about petroleum. I interested about way to take out oil from under the surface, I watched a video about how to take out oil from under the surface in MOE class.

I could have learned more differentry. To gather informations about oil, I felt, now we are having much oil, in middle east, America, Russia and  Asia. And the oil come from died organisms. Today, we don't have many places that organism could live than before, and many organisms gone from the Earth, so there are not much dead organism on the Earth. So, about milions years later, humans never find oils. Because, there weren't many dead organisms about milions years ago. Next human, our edsendants could find is just garbages maded plastics from about milions ago. So, i think human have to find good nergy for milions years later.

The activity related to my goal this year. The activity made me to think about oil in future, about millions later, and it also made me think humans are destoroying nature by cutting down trees to use trees or make buildings, and it became to difficultenvironment  that living things live, then living things decrease and we couldn`t get oil. Humans destoroyed nature, but I think human shouldn`t. Because, it effects us, humans, too. About millions of years later, human will not get living things for food human will also lost oil. It is going to be just our fort. And millions later,  human will get difficult to live without nature.

Quarter3

This quarter, I woked the Science Fair with my partner.  We made 3 different  dencity of salt water and a sugar water and we contrasted which water will have some crystals, which one will make a lot of crystals. I proposed that, how about make some different density of salt water and make crystals and contrast them. Then, my partner said, how about make a sugar water and try to make some crystals. So, we made 3 different density of salt water( A: 20% density , B: 30% density, 40% density) and a sugar water( 40% density) and tried to make crystals. My partner`s computer made break during the science fair due, so it was so hard for me, because we have to work it in the school and if we don`t finish, I had to finish it in my house.

The purpose was, to know which density of salt/ sugar water make cystals. We wanted to know, to make bigger crystals, we need  deep or thin density. We also wanted to know, the salt/ sugar water should be a lot or few.

I learned that to make crystals, we need dipper density of salt/ sugar water, because thin density water doesn`t make any crystals.

I think, we should try different density of sugar waters, too. Because, from the experiment that we did, we can`t say like, sugar water doesn`t make any crystals. Because, we did just 40% density salt water. Sugar water could have some crystals, if we tried for some different density like salt water one. If we did it, the experiment would be better.

The activity related to my goal this year. Next time, I have to have same conditions without a difference that I contrast between 2 things.
