Good News!

Upon entering in our classroom in my English 2 class, I was nervous because that time was the deadline of our outline and note-taking task. We waited for Ma'am Lynnie for about 30 minutes. But, Ma'am Lynnie did not arrive. We decided to go to the English Department. We met Ma'am Lynnie. One of my classmatesasked her for an extension of the deadline in our outline. Were really happy because Ma'am Lynnie grant us the extension.
The next meeting, I thought Ma'am Lynnie will give us an activity about writing references. But, she discussed the importance of writing. Ma'am Lynnie is very particular on the process of how we do research on our topic. She's not after of the final product of the paper. She gave us a time to consult her about our outline for only 5 minutes in our assigned scheduled. Not just that, Ma'am Lynnie gave a good news for all of us. It was about the blogging activity. The good news was that the blogging activity will end this month of February. We were so happy about it. She also gave a chance for those who did not make yet their reaction essay. But, there's a bad news. According to her, for those who failed to make a blog account will miss 20 points. How sad.... I just hope that Ma'am Lynnie followed my account.
I really enjoyed doing this blog posting eventhough sometimes I felt tired. But still, tis task is really worth it.

Tiring Task

Within this week, I really learned many things in our lessons. The topic discussed was all about writing a term paper specifically on how to gather notes. I learned that in gathering notes, It should correspond to the answers to all the questions or the major categories and supporting details you need to develop your thesis. Ma'am Lynnie discussed the pointers in gathering notes. With it, I find it easier to locate the relevant information I want to gather on my thesis. She also discussed on how to use quotes, to summarize and to paraphrase the information. This is very important in note taking. With regards to this, Ma'am Lynnie gave us an assignment by partner. With my partner, our assignment was about how to paraphrase and making an outline on the topic of household waste management on the book. My partner and I planned that we will meet in our next meeting since Ma'am Lynnie is not around because she will have a seminar. on the day we will have to meet, my partner did not arrive. I was so worried because I can't do our assignment alone. But then, I decided to do it on my own. The following day, I saw my partner. He also did not make our assignment. SO, we do it that day in a hurry ans passed it after.

A challenging Activity


The activity we had last meeting was all about writing the reference for our term paper. With this, Ma'am Lynnie prepared four different reference which are all books. We are 4 groups and each group should have one representative to list all the information in the book. The time is limited so we need to be very hurry in getting the information. After that, we need to write in a manila paper and post it. Then, MA'am Lynnie corrected it and gave points. When it was already my turn to write the reference, I really felt nervous because the information of the books were so confusing. However, I made it but not perfectly. The activity was really fun.
In our next meeting, Ma'am Lynnie checked our topic and thesis statement for our term paper. I was really nervous that time because I was not yet sure what my topic is. I already search my topic but still I'm confused on it. At first, I thought the ones who were sitting in front will be first called but Ma'am Lynnie said that the first to share his/her topic were the one's at the back. I felt so tense. But still, I share my topic and MA'am Lynnie said that I should really improve it.
