During the past 5 weeks I gave created 2 tasks on my topic about healthy lifestyle.

First I researched using the net and found an article that provided background information to help my understanding of the issues related to my topic, which was about how to live healthily.

With this information I created a summary on the topic and posted this on my blog page. This helped my understanding and provided me with more information to move to the next stage on Blooms.

During the "Comprehension" stage I created my second task which was to do some investigation post photos/ create a survey/ embed a visual snapshot to show the audience my understanding of the topic. We were asked to record our summaries as a video and embed the file into our blog page to demonstrate our oral language skills and ability to master intonation and expression. I found this difficult to do at first but Bibil was able to assist us and I was pleased with the final product.

Now I am preparing for the next stage of Blooms "Application" and I am deciding how I will design my next task that could include: an interview, a simulation, a presentation using IT tools and illustration

It's time for me now to plan my next task so please check my blog on friday and post a comment

ASSESSMENT 1- INTRODUCTION TO QUESTION

Question: How does the media help teenagers choose a healthy lifestyle?

AOI: Human Ingenuity

These days, teenagers are starting to care about their weight. Some of them are choosing a healthy lifestyle as their weight loss program but some ends up becoming an anorexic. That is why I think this topic is important. However, I am going to talk about how and why teenagers are choosing the right way to lose weight.

            Healthy lifestyle is when we as a teenager eat normally and healthily. What I mean by healthy is not just eat anything we want. It means that we have to foods that contain enough protein and vitamins. Such as, chicken, fish, vegetables and fruits. It is not good to eat snacks because they contain too much sugar. Exercises are also important for our health and of course teenagers that have a healthy lifestyle do lots of sport activities to stay strong. If we do a lot of exercises, it means we have to take enough rests everyday. Because muscles are formed while we are taking a rest, not while we are doing an exercise.

            I found an article that supports my opinion. So, right now I am going to add some information about the protein our bodies need. Extra protein is very important to gain muscle especially if we are athletes. Eating enough calories is also very important for building muscle. We can’t build new muscles without calories. Commonly, people eat around 5 ounces of protein foods such as meat, fish, and chicken. Also 3-5 ounces of dairy protein such as milk yogurt and cheese.

           

The 9 questions:

1. Why is being healthy so important?
2. How long does it take to lose fat and gain muscle?

3. How many calories do we need to eat per day averagely?

4. How many times per week do we need to play do exercises?

5. What kind of food can’t we eat?

6. How many glasses of water do we need per day?

7. How many hours per day do we need to sleep? Why is it so important?

8. What kind of fat is good for us?

9. Why do sports so important for our lives?

            Healthy lifestyle is when we as a teenager eat normally and healthily. What I mean by healthy is not just eat anything we want. It means that we have to eat foods that contain enough protein and vitamins. Such as, chicken, fish, vegetables, oatmeal, soy milk and fruits. It is not good to eat snacks because they contain too much sugar. Exercises are also important for our health and of course teenagers that have a healthy lifestyle do lots of sport activities to stay strong. If we do a lot of exercises, it means we have to take enough rests everyday. Because muscles are formed while we are taking a rest, not while we are doing an exercise.

As we commence this new Unit of Inquiry it is important that you have an understanding of Blooms Taxonomy. Simply put Blooms Taxonomy is a way for the sorting and grouping of different levels of learning. All learning starts at the lower levels of knowledge and understanding. We then progress to higher order thinking skills such as comparing and contrasting, making graphs etc to show how we can apply our understanding of new knowledge. To help with your understanding of Blooms I have created the activity below based on the book “The Outsiders”. Please complete this activity and post in your blog.

Activities using Blooms Taxonomy

1. Knowledge- select one character from the novel “The Outsiders” who has the qualities of a heroine/hero. List the qualities and tell why you think they are heroic. I am choosing Johnny Cade because he has this natural heroic heart. First of all, he sacrifices his life for helping little kids that were stuck inside a burning abandoned church. Before it all happened, he killed Bob Sheldon just to save ponyboy's life.

2. Comprehension- CONSTRUCT a time line that. summarises what happens in the story “The Outsiders”. Ponyboy was the youngest in the gang. He was only a 14-year old teenager. He has 2 older brothers, the oldest one, Darry was the one who take care of the brothers after their parents died in a car accident. He never got home early, he always hung out with his Greasers friends especially Dally and Johhny. Until one night, after his fight with his brother he ran away and met the Socs in a park and bullied Johnny, saved his life by killing Bob Sheldon. They were so scared that the police will run after them, so they quickly ask for Dally's help and went to an abandoned church for about 3 days. But then, in the end of the story Johnny died after saving innocent children in a burning old church. 


3. Application- THINK of a situation that occurred to a character in the story “The Outsiders” and write about how you would have handled the situation differently. If I were one of them, I would definitely handle the situation differently by not getting in trouble.

4. Analysis- IDENTIFY general characteristics (stated and/or implied) of one of the main characters and complete the table below.  


Characters Name Ponyboy


Physical characteristics: Tall, has a greasy hair, skinny.



Personality: 
Brave, honest, hates fight, he's personality is different than the others in a good way.





Major challenges/problems: The way they protect themselves caused them to get into trouble.





5. Synthesis- WRITE three new titles for the story that would give a good idea what it is about. 
Teenagers Life 
Gang of Boys
The Greasers

OR

CREATE an original character and tell how the character would fit in the story. 

6. Evaluation- DECIDE which character in the selection you would most like to spend a day with and describe why.
Ponyboy, because he's the main character and he was the narrator of the story. So there are lots of information about himOR

JUDGE whether or not a character should have acted in a particular way and 
why.

Here's the pictures of mother tongue week performances

These pics are all about Korea!

Today, my school is celebrating mother tongue week. We are wearing different clothes from many different nationalities each day. For instance, today is Indonesian day, tomorrow is Asian day, on wednesday we have European and Middle East, Thursday is for Oceania and Africa. Then, America is on Friday. There's going to be lots of performances this week and because today is Indonesian day, the performances are from Indonesia.

Heyy.. As you all know that there're lots of global issues these days which are poverty, global warning, racism etc. However, I was only focusing on climate change. I made this poster last year to make people realize how important it is to actually care and help the world. So, here's the poster and the reflection that I wanted to show you! Don't forget to warn your friends, family or neighbors to help!

Reflection

Why I choose the issue?

What I learnt during planning, process and presentation

How I would do this differently next time

About a couple weeks ago, Ms. Dianne started to show us some clips about poverty, hunger, and child labor and asked us to find some clips. Therefore we got the videos from the Youtube, we presented the video to the whole class as an example for our next project. Which was about making our own video. I chose climate change because I think climate change is a problem that can’t be fixed and it’s happening everywhere now. Almost everything we do is causing the climate change. I knew that the only thing we can do to help is to reduce the climate change. So, I wanted to show everyone about it.

I learnt that it is actually hard to reduce the climate change because humans are actually the one who caused the climate change. Especially right now, as the technology is becoming more and more advanced, the climate change is getting worst. AC, refrigerator and cars are the examples of the big causes of climate change and we use these things everyday. However, I learned to reduce the climate change by planting more trees, recycle, etc.

I would do this differently next time by making better information and pictures to support my movie. I would also speak louder and clearer in front of everyone. 

Blogging Reflection

Q: What I have learnt about blogging?
A: I think Blogger is a bit more complicated than any other blogging websites such as Tumblr. I didn't know how to change the background image, fonts, and colors at first. But then, after using it for days I get used to it now.

Q: What I enjoy about blogging?
A: I love expressing my feeling through pictures and stuffs I like and sharing it to other people. Not only my friends or teachers but anyone who has the same interests and hobby as mine.

Q: What is my favorite part of the blog page?
A: I love changing background color and fonts.

Jailhouse Rock

Although I listen to his songs sometimes. I'm not a fan of Elvis Presley but one of his music video, Jailhouse Rock is the oldest music video I have on my iTunes. Some says, Jailhouse Rock is the first music video in ever. Well, it's not 100% accurate though. Here's the video you've been waiting for! ENJOY!!

My Fav Cartoon!

Heyyyy! Do you guys know The Simpsons?? of course you do! I've been watching this TV show since 2 years ago. It's the only comedy show that makes me laugh.

Sadly :(, I haven't watched all the seasons yet.

Before I left my old house. We took pictures of it! It was in Ampera, Jakarta. I miss my old house so much. It was small though, but I had lots of fun there. The swimming pool was bigger and better than the one in my current house. Every time I looked at the pool, I felt like I want to swim. Unlike now, it's been a year since I moved to my current house but I haven't even swam, not even once! So yeah, see the difference?!

My old pictures

Heyyyyy ! I wanna share some of my old pictures!

This is me and my little brother when he was only 2 months old. This picture was taken on 2008 after I got back from my trip to Sydney. I was still soooo small and childish. 

 I went to Sydney for a homestay and the kid next to me was my host parents granddaughter in Sydney! She's so cute right? She was only 6 when I met her. I wonder how she looks now.. :p

My Favorite Blog

Heyyyy!!! Do you guys know Madonna???! She's a really great singer right?? She has a daughter named Lourdes (if I'm not mistaken) and she's my age. She's sooo cool and she has a her own fashion line called Material Girl! She must be so lucky!
