 In this class, we received an explanation of this semester’s assignment from Mr. Paterson. Actually, I am not good at writing a long essay like the academic book review that we did in the last semester. Therefore, I was a little glad to heard that this semester’s assignment is a reflection of the books I read throughout this year, not the research paper.

As mentioned above, this semester’s assignment is ‘Reading Comparision’. I received a lot of explanations because it is different from the style we have been doing in this class so far. According to that explanation, it is only my thought, reflection, and opinion. Therefore, I do not have to use Zotero as before. And also, when we write an essay, I should not write in the first person. However, there is no matter to write in the first person. I should not write in the third person instead because this statement is only my thought and opinions.

Also, we have to write six paragraphs statement. Mr. Paterson said the title should have a relation between the book I read the last semester and the book I read this semester. And, I learned that the introduction part should start writing generally at first, and gradually narrow down what want to say. In the third paragraph, 1A has to write what I did this year. And the Fourth paragraph, 1B has to write the reflection about what I did in EE class. If my opinion is positive, I have to write a negative opinion firstly. The next paragraph, namely the fifth paragraph(2A) has to write about the basic information of the book I read like whether I have ever read that book and whether I have read the book that the author wrote. Besides, 2B paragraph has to write the reflection of books I read in EE class. In the last paragraph, I have to write a conclusion. The conclusion part has to summarize the main point. Usually, the conclusion part needs to write a limitation but this assignment is not the research essay, therefore, I do not have to write that. Of course, I have to write references in this assignment because there are references in books. 

I thought this assignment is easier than the last book review before listening to an explanation. However, I realized this may be pretty difficult after listening to that. I want to do my best...

I made guts pose when I heard Friday's class had not presentation. Certainly, I practiced many times for the presentation, however, I was really nervous. When I entered the classroom, almost all the students who are in the advanced class saw the slide and practiced many times. As I mentioned above, I made guts pose when heard about that, but I wondered why Mr. Paterson said this class does not do the presentation at the same time. He said this class will do another task, 'make the website'. In the last year, we made the original website in the group about school. We made the website about the rooftop, and introduce that finely. Mr. Paterson said we have to put the pictures at the same size and write about bio, reading book episodes in childhood. And, he explained detailed items. My group members are Takuma, Kotone, and me. Kotone shared the site to us and wrote detailed items on the website. Then, we opened 'canva' because we thought we had better think about the gr...

How do we write an effective essay? We learn about how to write an essay from last week's class. At first, we checked an essay ourselves. As basic knowledge, we hadn't better use personal pronounce, contraction and so on.  Yesterday class, we learn about how to write an introduction. I learn about that for the first time. We didn't write the introduction when yesterday yet, so we wrote it today. In the first-class of teaching about an essay by Mr. Paterson, We learn that our own section has to write three paragraphs and should connect the former section topic and next section topic. It because we have to show reasons to solve some problems. And, we had better repeat write key points in summary. Summary means is to leave an impression, so we should repeat each section's key points in summary. It likes the presentation when the last class( learn about presentation ). When las class, Mr.Paterson said that should improve "about us" on the website. We insert pi...

What should be finished? At first, we should write a conclusion and an introduction. Our group decided we thought and write two sentences on the conclusion and introduction. According to Mr. Paterson, a Google document is processed to make an essay. After everything is done, into Canva. Canva can make an effective brochure. Therefore, if we make brochure by Canva, be able to match the presentation and the website. And then, we got free time that goes on own group's essay. Mr. Paterson said that we should choose the font of the word. We haven't use Times New Romans and have to use Arial. Recently, we could spend own time to write and improve an essay. Therefore, we are able to go on an essay more than last class.  Mr.Paterson told us to what we will do tomorrow. We are going to make a list of references and write one or two sentences of the conclusion and introduction.
