Tatyana's City Connections Reflection
1. I think I did well on researching the information about Houston on the Internet and getting pictures about it's early history that I did not know very well.
The information told me a lot about Houston that I was able to put onto slides so the students in class would learn about my city. I did not know that Houston has a lot of oil and is the center in Texas where all the oil is made into useful products that we use everyday. One example of this is the gas we put into our cars. The place they do this is called a refinery. I also did not know that General Sam Houston accepts surrender form General Santa Ana at San Jacinto giving Texas Independence.
2. My bullet points were quite long and I should have done shorter bullet points to make it shorter. I could also have improved by having more sources of where I got all my information and pictures. I should have also have wrote down an introduction so the class could get a little idea about Houston before I started the power point. During my power point I did not have to read off the paper. I could have practiced more and not mumbled so much.
3. I learned that Houston is a much lager city than I thought it was. I also did not know that their were so many people in Houston and their was a big population of girls and boys. In Houston the population is 2,257,926 people. The Median age: 30.9 years and the Texas median age is 32.3 years. That may change in a few years. Farming is also important and as the population increases in the country they will need to continue to farm. Farming may get easier as the machinery gets better and more advanced. Oil and gas will continue to be the bread and butter of the Houston area at least for the near future.
4 I worked pretty hard an I did a pretty good job. I think I could always do better but over all I am pleased with my work. I hope the students in class enjoyed it as much as I did. One day I hope I could go back to Houston and see how much it has change and what has improved on all the buildings they have been working on for a long time. I could see all my friends and see how much they have change since I have seen them. I would also want to know if I would be moving back soon that would be so much fun because I would got to see all my friends and family and get to do lots that I have not done for a long time.

My Learning Profile
I need to understand what to do when I have a task to do but it is hard to get me to understand what we have to do. When the class is given something to do and the teacher says "If you don't finish your work and turn it in by the time class is over it will be home work" and I get very stress when I hear that my brain will shut down and I am really worried about that. So I have to understand that when the teacher says " We have 2 days to work on it" i Don't get all of what the teacher says so I ask him when it is due and when I hear it's due in 2 days I am good. So I have time to work on it and it won't be due the next day and that is when I start to worried a lot.
The strategies that would help me in my learning is if the teacher shows it to the whole class he would always tell me you should always try first and then when you are done you can come to me and I will help you on what ever you need help with. So I would try and I would tell my teacher that I can't do it then when he says try and I do and I finish all my work. The strategies for me is my teachers telling me that I can do it even when I say that I can't do and they would enplane it very well in a way that I would understand what I have to do. So the strategies of this whole thing is my teachers they help me a lot when I need it most.
I would like my teachers to know this about me is that I tend to daydream a lot and sometimes my teachers will have to say the same thing over again and they should know that I can give up and not believe that I can't do my work and I will try but I can give up and ask for help a lot. They would always tell me to try again and if I still can't do it they would always try to enplane it to me in the way that I would understand what to do so they won't give me the answer they let me try to do the work all by my self so I don't have to ask of help a lot. I tend to ask for more help then I should it's good to have a little help from people but not too much.

2011 Blog Post
My New Year Resolution
My first resolution is I would like to get fit. I would like to exercise more because I have not went to the gym in a long time. If I got to the gym a little more I would not have this problem so When I wake up I will go to the gym upstairs to the gym in my apartment and start the work out more. I will live my parents a note that I went upstairs to work out so they know were I am. When I am up in the morning I should take my vitamin every day and start to drink healthy drinks in the morning. When I am going out to eat dinner I should choose something healthy and not junk food and have lots of vegetables, fruit and lots of milk for strong bones.
My second resolution is to help others. When their is a new kid in the school and they do not know were they are and they don't know where there class are I would like to help show were they are. When the new kid comes to their class and someone should be their to welcome them to the class and tell them what is going on in their class. The student may come in the middle of the semester and they have no clue what to do. This why you should help the new students so they won't get lost and be late for his or her classes.
One day in Houston it was Christmas day and I woke up and saw that my stocking was full of present and all my cousins stoking was full of present too.

My Christmas snapshots
One day in Houston it was Christmas day and I woke up and saw that my stocking was full of present and all my cousins stoking was full of present too.
I was itching to open the presents but I had to wait to open them because all of us had to be there to open them with me. Once we were all up we ran to our presents and stared to open them but our parents had to get the camera out and had to film all of us open our presents. Once we were all ready to open them I got a t-shirt, a cool pen, once I got the last present was my IPad and I was screaming so loud that all of my cousins were closing their ears. Once I got my IPad I opened it so fast I plug it into my computer and I had to wait till it charges and my cousins got things too that I do not remember what they got.
Helping around the house
When I was at my grandmas house me and my parents were helping her clean my grandpas 2 garage because the whole garage was a mess and my grandma could not clean all of the things that are in the garage by her self. When we were their we spent all the time in Houston cleaning my grandpas garage but we did not clean the garage on Christmas time. I have been helping my grandma in the house and outside the house too and at night when my grandma is filling sad I would sleep in her bed with her even if she is not filling sad I would still sleep in he bed. When we had to go to the airport to go back to KL and I was missing my grandma already.

1. I think it is better working with a partner then by your self.So when you are with your partner you would give each other ideas to make your lit circle better. When you have an partner you can tell each other comments and help then to understand how to make your lit circle better and you get a chance to get lots of comments from each other and it is okay to make some mistakes in your story.
2. The obstacle that I had to overcome when doing the literature circles was when I had to make the questions more difficult. I have a hard time trying to make a person think more critically about something. My questions are usually just simple recall type question. For example I would ask someone what color was the car that Jacob road in? Instead I should have asked why did they paint the car the color of a zebra? I need to sit down with someone and talk in more detail before I come up with a good question. I will try to do this more.
3. I did gain some new understandings in the novel. I thought that the car that was painted the color of a zebra was because the owner of the car liked zebras and wanted to make a cute car to drive. Instead I learned that in order to get close to the animals and help make them more comfortable with you that if you paint your vehicle you can get close to them and they won't show as much fear. This sounds smart to me.

1. How my discussion helped my understanding is read it though and you will think '' oh so that is what you mean by that'' you talk how about the story and it reminds you about what you read. You get peoples ideas and their point of view and the people in your group they give you comments and how to make your story better. when people hear your ideas and they may say '' oh maybe you could change this'' they tell you that you could change a couple things in your story.
2. When you are in your discussion group you may have some connections like '' oh that has happen to me before'' so you have some connections in you friends story. Like for an example Jake had to sell his mom things and you would have to do the same because your mom has die and you don't have enough money to go to stay with your dad in Kenya.When you are in your discussion group you may all not like the book and you think Call It Courage was a better book so you agree that you dint like the book so that is what you might talk in you discussion.
3. When you are in your group you will have lots of predictions that you might think what will happen next and you may think what happens if Jake did this. So your and your group will want to think what will happen next and what will happen to Jake when he goes to Kenya all by him self. When your group thinks and talks to each other and see what the other people think what will happen next in the story and share their ideas with the rest of the group.
