Fritters

Home Economics. Last week we made Corn and Bacon frittters, and I and my group actually enjoyed making it because we all communicate with each other which made things more easier for us to do some jobs without hesitation or being irritated. For this practical, you just need 10 ingredients and of course, you need the right one. It only takes us about 50 minutes even though one of my group need to go because she needed to do something, so it was only two of us.  

 


When we were doing this we didn't have a hard time making it, because the method was really easy to follow also we're kind of lucky because one of our team is still there and she can still help us to get things ready. For me when we were cooking it my first impression was it will not taste good, because of the fact that I think there's a lot of corn in it. So when we are doing this and one of my teammates takes turns cooking it because we wanted to be fair with each other. So when  I took my first bite, I actually like it because it was crispy and the inside is really soft and it was great, and it tastes better when dipping it on a sauce. The combination of corn and bacon is also good, and for me, it will be a great dinner or dessert for other people. I think we did a great job because we put all the right amount of ingredients, like the milk or the flour. I really enjoyed making this, and I would probably try this again. 

Black Death Timeline

 In our chaos class, we are presently taking a gander at our last theme which is pestilence dark demise. This is about the things that occur in the century, around the world.

VISME TIMELINE 

Those are the things that occurred as the years progressed, and it made them stun the reality about the christian's and different pandemics that likewise occur before. So as you can see that is every one of the things I have remembered for timetable, it's simply a short concise of what is the issue here.

So I likewise trust that you will appreciate this blog entry that, and my course of events about the pandemics dark passing history...

Fun ways to explore Language - ESOL

 Fun approaches to investigate language, that is the thing that we have done in ESOL. Our ESOL class exercises are fun since we will be in a gathering and have some action with them. 

3 Recalls - 

I remember doing the activity we have done last week when we get to be in a group and do some guessing about the title of the book. As each of the two groups needed to have a runner, where it has to run across the room and write the answer down the board. It was so fun, and I wanted to do it again.

Secondly from this lesson, I remember we did play hot potato where a group of students each has a sheet of paper, on which they write one work and pass it clockwise around the circle for the next student to write one word on. We have to keep passing the pages around rapidly like hot potatoes, and we have to form a story at the end. Re-read the stories, and correct the grammar for the story to make more sense. 

Lastly, the last activity we did is called Alphabet story, where you have to write a story in which each successive word begins with the next alphabet word. This one is probably the hardest one since the story still has to make sense, but it was still fun.

Insights - 

I learned that it was harder to think when you are using each of the alphabet letters because you have to come up with something that makes sense with the word before. 

Water boats

The start of week 1, Term 2. Our first-class was Science and it was really exciting because the first thing we did, was to do an experiment that includes water, and fire. It was really fun, and we did was to be in a pairs, and try to come up with a piece of a container that would water. Then the twist is that it would be able to hold some water, and not catch on fire. 

Aim: Trying to investigate a design of a container that would hold water, that won't catch on fire.

Method: A piece of paper, Bunsen burner, Tripod, a heat mat, Beaker 

- First, we have to create a paper container, that would hold the water. Then get all of the safety things, and get the equipment.  

- Second step, we have to set up all the things like turn on the Bunsen burner and connect to the gas tap, while it was connect turn it on and the teacher will come with a lighter, and he will light it for you. Then you're ready to go. 

-Third step, is we have to wait till it was fully burned or until the water fell out. 

Results:  Evelyn and I, was actually really scared to put the paper into the top because we thought that it's going to be a fail experiment since some group their one only lasted for a second. Shockingly our one lasted for 5 minutes, well our idea was to create a box but make sure that the bottom has a layer. It also can hold a lot of water, I was really proud because of our design work and we are the only group that lasted for that long.

Shark Infested Custard Game

The health class did another, activity that was based on IP skills. This time was actually the same as the previous activities, and I was with different people and we are in a group of 6. In that team, I was honoured to be their leader. Well the class will be divided into 3 even groups. 

Each group will be given 3 hula hoops, and head out to the basketball court near M8. 

The goal is to get the whole team from one side of the court to the other, using only the hoops. 

Rules: you can only stand on the hoop when it is completely flat on the ground. You cannot shuffle the hoop along the floor. Any part of any team member comes out of the hoop and the whole group goes back to the start. It is a challenge against the other teams. 

You get 3 minutes at the start to work out your strategy. 


What IP skills did I use?
The IP skills we used today was being inclusive, verbal communication and lastly the most important one is active listening . My team and I used active listening because, this sorts of activity is kind of dangerous since today was a rainy day and everything is wet and slippery. So we all need to be careful and listen to each other, so that no one will get hurt and we are all safe. I was again satisfied about my team, since all of them listen to the instruction carefully. Then secondly verbal communication, well all of us need to use our proper tone of voice. We have to use positive words, and encourage them to keep going. Lastly probably the second important thing was being inclusive to everyone, we have to help each other and include everyone so that no is left out. Also in this activity, I again used warm fuzzies even though my team and I came in second place.The purpose of this game was to help and communicate well with different people.

Why did it helped?
Using this IP skills helped my team, to do more better and it also made it easier for us to came up for some different plans. If we didn't helped each other then we wouldn't be able to finish the activity, like for verbal and active listening well for that I think that we did use that IP skill very well because all of us used an appropriate words, and we all listen and stick to one idea. For being inclusive, if we didn't use that then someone in the group will feel left out and might not participate and that will made things more harder for us. Because when we are in the middle of the game and one person plan on not doing it, then we will have to go back from the start.

Who did I worked well with?
I worked well with Evelyn, Misha, Joseph, Eliakim and Miguel. They made things easier since they are easy to communicate with , and so that we wouldn't have to feel uncomfortable with each other. When we were at the middle of the game, one person slipped since there's s big distance between the hoops and luckily she didn't hurt herself. After that we all plan to just throw the hoop were we can easily jump on, since not all of us are a good jumper so we all have to be careful because we might hurt our teammates or ourselves. Even though we had a little bit of a problem, we still managed to finish the activity without people getting hurt or injured really badly since some people were mucking around.

How would you do it differently?
For my point of view, I wouldn't change anything since we all can managed ourselves and I believe that we wouldn't do anything silly with other people. The matter fact, I know one thing that we all need to do differently is that maybe to change our strategy. Well our strategy was to let the short one go first, and then the person who has fast reflection can take care of the back. I mean we actually did got stuck when one person throws the hoop far and none of us can jump properly because there's three people on each hoops.Probably we were scared that we might slip, or might hit, etc. So that's when things happened. We all need to be sensible and look after one another, and be respectful of someones opinion or point of view. Furthermore, I think we all did great when it comes to communicating and encouraging each other to not be scared.

What level of Helisons behaviour model were you working at in this activity and provide examples of this

Well I worked at level four, and one example is when I respect their ideas since I was chosen to be their leader. Listen to their opinion and different strategy, and give some thoughtful feedback. Also I think my group and myself demonstrate fair play for others, and I truly believe that we showed a good teamwork. I tried working on higher level again since , that time I really wanted to improve my communication towards other people that I know and didn't know. I think that I have participated really well, and cooperate with them. Today's activity was one of my favourite, since we get to pick who should be on our team .


Things that worked well :
- working together
- useful to have a leader 
- strategy time useful 
- easier to move with fewer people 
- try to have fun 
- communicating with each other
- following a pattern of hoop entry 
- being fair team players
- rule changes to make it better next time
- supporting each other-helping hand 
- hoop distances kept close

Rubber Band Cup Tower

 In health, we did another activity based on our Interpersonal Skills. It was the same as the last time, but this time we were group with different people. There were 4 people in my group, and I admit grouping with different people who I usually don't talk with is kinda uncomfortable. So in this activity each group will get 1 elastic band and string/a piece of string (30cm), and 5 plastic cup. Our goal was to attach the string to the elastic band, and each group member pulls on the string to move each cup from one table to another. Challenge each other group to do it as fast as possible. At first I was actually kinda confused of what to do, but then when I saw some pictures in google I already got the idea of what we are suppose to do. After that I went to my group, and we all practise. Communicating with other people was actually fun.

What IP skills did I use?

The IP skills I used was being conclusive, negotiation and compromise, and active listening. I used being conclusive because we all need to participate and help each other, and we also need to make sure that no one is left out we all need to something.Also putting my self on the spot were I also need to make sure, that I'm being included. For active listening, well we all need to listen to each other opinion and pay more attention to the person who is talking. Lastly I picked negotiation and compromise because they mean when people in your group, need to find a reasonable solution to share with each other and compromising is when the two people are negotiating. I did use warm fuzzies, because I encourage my team that we can do it. Even though we lose, at least we all tried.


Why did it helped?

Using those IP skills helped ,because it makes it more easier for us to communicate with each other. If we didn't help or even talk to each other. Then we wouldn't be able to finish the task, luckily the people in my group really did try there very best to win. It also helped us because if we didn't use active listening, then probably the person who is talking will feel uncomfortable and irritated since no one listening. I'm happy that when one person in our group says something we all listen.


Who did I worked well with?

They're Mattisin, Daniel, and Jackson. An example of when we worked well together was, when we were practising and trying to do find a strategy that will work well.I was lucky enough to be in that group because they were all nice, and they also look one another even though one person in my group were misbehaving. But we know that the more we hype him up, the more it will get worse so we just asked that person nicely to stop and focus. The after all he listen.


How would you do it differently?

Well when we were doing the challenge one of person didn't do it, and participate but he practised which is good. The fact that when we finished the challenge, our teacher said that we get -1 in our time since there's only 3 people who did it when it was supposed to be 4. Furthermore, I was happy and proud about our time even though it was only the three of us, and we even had a problem with our string and rubber band. I think we stretch it way too hard, so when we were doing the challenge we have to re-do it again and asked for someone else one.


What level of Helisons behaviour model were you working at in this activity and provide examples of this

Well I worked at level four, and one example is when I respect their ideas. Listen to their opinion, also I think my group and myself demonstrate fair play for others, and a good teamwork. I tried working on higher level since, that time I really wanted to improve my communication towards other people. I think that I have participated really well, and cooperate with them which made me think that I have achieved my goal.
