Week 17 : Learning Reflection


A Discourse Approach in Reading

This term we had to study 9 lessons. I know I payed for learning more last term because last term I got E grade  Each lesson was easy and hard. Sometimes I felt bed when I came to class late, sometimes I wanted to sleep hahaha I know that impossible and I can't.

I will show all lesson.

First, is Recount that have purpose is to tell what happened. There are 3 types of recount that are Personal Recount, Factual Recount, and Imaginative Recount. In a recount we use simple past tense to tell a sequence of events

2. Narratives are to entertain, i.e. to gain and hold the reader's interest in a story, to nourish and extend the reader's imagination. 

I think I like this lesson the most because when I read it I felt funny and I can imagine a  stories.

3. Descriptive is to describe and to reveal a particular person, animal, place, or thing. This lesson helps us visualize and understand a topic. In my opinion this is easy.

4. Procedure is to Telling us how something is accomplished through a sequence of actions or steps. The purpose is to tell the reader how to do or make something.

5. Procedure is the text that tell us how something is accomplished through a sequence of actions or steps. It has a purpose to tell the reader how to do or make something.

6. Cause/Effect is used to show how the facts or concepts result due to other facts, events or concepts. 

In my opinion this title was hard but I payed attention more. When I did exercise ,that make me understand more

week 15 : Problem and Solutoin

week 15 : Problem and solution





29 march 2016

First of all, the teacher let us to know about the scores of video cooking presentation. I got 7 point, it make me feel very good cause I wish just 5 or 6. 


Today, we started to learn the last lesson, which is

 "Problem and Solution". This it was very hard lesson to me because is likely cause and effect.

                                                                            

                          Example

        

        It seems like there has been a surge in teen pregnancies these days. Teen pregnancies make it very difficult for young mothers to pursue their dreams and meet the demands of an infant. Fortunately, most teen pregnancies can be easily prevented by using birth control; however, even birth control is not 100% effective. The most effective way to prevent teen pregnancies is abstinence, which is 100% effective.

Then, we did skill practice by circle the problem markers and highlighted the solution markers.

I think this lesson was hard because I didn't understand clearly and answered wrong during studying. So, I tried to pay attention in the classroom when teacher teach and should exercise more.

Then, we found the main idea of the text and  did exercise by matching the place with the activities, underlined them in the text, and highlighted discourse markers.




Next, we read text 3 that about Many hazards in the home and how to eliminate. Before found  Main idea, what is  Many hazards in the home that jeopardize a child's safety can be easily eliminated.

This lesson was easy but sometimes I was confused between cause and effect. I solved by paying for attention.
