I think Mr.Truchon and Mrs. Smith use red, yellow, and green for our grades because we can know that which level of our work is and how many space we can work harder.By using this kind of way to grade is easier and just a simple goal that they can reach.I think this is important for our learning because maybe the first time they have some that they don't understand, but the second chance can let them more understand about this subject or this question.
I like this kind of way because it can let me understand more(like what I said before) and it is fair for every one even the people that have bad english
I don't think I'll don't like it, because I think this is a perfect idea for every students and every teacher.

Search Engine? or Encyclopedia?
In humanities, I mostly use CNNC(child news) to write a news articles. Because the information in that website is very detail and it's very good to understand, not like some of the website that will put a lot information on it but it's not very good to understand. I won't search on the search engine is because it's not very useful and the information it gave is mass, by using a search engine I rather to use a onine encyclopedia. The information it give us is very detail and useful. It divide it into small parts and explain them each very detail. You can find the information very easy by using a online encyclpedia. Sometime I'll find information in the book because not every information is in internet, some of the information also can find in the book and maybe you can find information that's not in internet. So the most resourse I'll use to find information will be.Books, or online encyclopedia.
PS:sometime I'll use online worldbook.

Reflections on Learning~
Understanding- Understand means that you learn it and you can remember it very tightly, and you can also use it in your normal life.
Applying-Applying is a process that you need for learning, and a skill for doing homework and review.
Analyzing-Analyzing is to analyze things into smaller part or to separate things in to different group so it's easy to understand and review.
Synthesizing-Put knowledge that you already know all together to form a answer or to understand something.
Creating- Creating can be a blog post you create that's about what you do and it's in your OWN information and it's in your OWN words.

Reflections About Blogging
A blog is like a online journal, you write what you did or the ideas on it. Blog can be consist to videos and photos.When other people see your blog post, they can leave a comment so you can share ideas with them, and sometimes you'll see the mistake from other people's comments. By looking other people's blog, you also can learn more informations and you can comments on there blog to share ideas too. Blog is a good way to communicate with each other, like teachers can comments on student's blog post, and parents can see what there child is learning from looking at there blog post. Blog is a very fun thing to do and can make students more concentrate on it.
How to blog?
Sometimes even you know how to blog, but you'll ask yourself "How DO we blog".
Blogging can be a article that you read on a news paper, a journal about your daily life etc.
You can share the articles with each other and by learning from it.
Getting Started
When you're going to start your blog, remember that your blog can be seen by any people, so beware of your words... and.....log in and start write your blog post~!
Here are some rules and tips for you:
1.Do not write bad comments on other people's blog post.It need to be specific and in good words.
2.You CAN'T copy a article from a website newspaper( like CNN or New York times) it'sPLAGIARISM!
3.Repect other people's privacy.
4.Share your ideas with every body,
5.Imagine that you are other people and you are looking at your own blog post when you're doing your blog post.
6.When you're blogging, look at it first, find the important part and write it down.
Internet Safety:
When you're looking on other blog, sometimes there will be some inappropriate site. Close it emmediate and don't make personal comment for it. When other people want more about your personal imformation(like celephone or address), don't give them unless you know him or her very much.
Commenting on other people's blog:
Leaving comments on other people's blog is like go into there house and start conversation with the person in this house.You need to stay on the same topic that you're talking about and be specific. Like when you're going to talk about homework, but you start talking about games, you can try to make out more information about it. Same on the blog post, when your blog post is talking about global warming, and a comment ask you more about global warming . You can give him more imformation about it and share your ideas.

Learning skill
One skill use to learn in my own ways is every time when I'm solving a hard problem, I'll break them into parts and solve them and find information for each group then put all the information together and find the answer.
The other skill I use to learn is to ask question, sometimes when I don't know the answer of the question, I'll ask my Dad and mom. Then I'll find the important part of the answer and put it in my own answer

How I learn?
Everybody use different kind of ways to learn a skill, new piece of knowledge, and a new ideas. This is how I do this things.
1. Every time I play basketball, I learn different ways to dribble the ball and pass through peoples. Like I always see the bigger high school people play basketball, and I know the new skill of dribble. Like when you want to pass through people, you can change hand to dribble when you near the enemy( like when you use right hand and change to left hand very quickly so you can cross them). I also learn better way to shoot, your elbow need to be facing the basket so your ball will be right into the basket.
2.Every time I read a newspaper or read a news article on the CNN news, I'll have a new idea about my new blog post. I'll write them into my own words so other people can read it clearly, and it's a better way to understand what it's talking about.
3.In the first year I'm in ESL, i gain more knowledge about English words and about what I learn in my class( because my English is very bad so some of the information that teacher said is a little bit don't under, so ESL let me know about what I understand and the things I don't understand).
