The End

 

The class is over. I'm glad that we ended our class and also our blog. I'm relieved that I don't have to write for our blog anymore or worry about meeting the deadline. I will miss the times that I need to edit, think about the designs, and think words just to make my journal long. I also want to thank each and every one of our teachers. We appreciate you teaching us despite the pandemic. We are grateful for the new information we have learned and will undoubtedly keep in our minds and carry with us for the rest of our lives. I would also like to express my gratitude to my fellow students for staying safe and making it through this trip when the pandemic is still present. Thank you all for your time. Be careful and good luck on our next journey.

Quarter 4, Week 6- Taking Stand

 Our topic for week 6 is "Taking a Stand." Is it necessary to stand up for yourself? It is important to take a stand for yourself. Learning to speak for yourself can empower you to take control of your own life, believe in your own strength, and pursue your goals. The more powerful you feel, the more powerful you will become. Standing up for oneself demonstrates that you value yourself. Taking a stand means expressing your own opinion or point of view whether you are asserting your unyielding support of, defense of, or opposition to something. As a student, we used a lot of these circumstances in a debate classroom, essays, or composition. In essays, taking a stand takes multiple forms, For example when we make a claim which is the most common kind of opinionated thesis statement. The thesis statement identifies the topic that is being discussed, including the points raised in relation to the subject, and is written for a specific audience.

Quarter 4, Week 5- Making Predictions

 

Making Predictions is the topic for week 5. What exactly is prediction? Prediction refers to making guesses about what will happen next in a text, story, circumstance, or weather. We must evaluate things or questions that will support our guesses when making predictions. First, consider what has already occurred. What is likely to happen next, based on the author's clue, evidence in the text, and your experience? Make sure you can make meaningful and logical predictions when you mix situations a and b. Predictions might be correct or incorrect. Predicting the weather is an example. Your weather predictions may be true or incorrect because an overcast day does not always imply rain.

Quarter 4, Week 4- Verb Tense Consistency

 

In week 4 we talk about Verb Tense Consistency. Our topic for this week appears to be simple, but when it comes time to answer it, you might find it difficult and confusing, thus I recommend that we examine it more to ensure the proper grammar. What is Verb Tense Consistency? The term "verb tense consistency" refers to the usage of the same tense throughout a sentence. The goal is to avoid or stay away from having multiple tenses used to describe a single time period. It is if you are referring to various time periods. It's best to start a new clause or even a new phrase. Verb tense indicates when the action occurred. Past, present, and future are the most common tenses. The verb aspect, on the other hand, refers to the passage of time or the flow of time. The aspect determines whether or not the action takes place in a single block or if the action is continuous or repeated.

Quarter 4, Week 3- Making Judgements

Our topic for week 3 was about Making judgments. Our topic started with a question: "What is the right way of judging?" I don't remember the exact question but for me the right way of judging someone is you judge them in a positive word or in a positive way that can enlighten their mood. As a student, we must assess the relevance and values of ideas, the soundness of the author's logic, and the quality of the presentation to evaluate whether the information supplied is factual, credible, and believable. When making judgments we consider the relevance, worth of ideas, soundness of the author's reasoning, and effective presentation.

We have our spelling for week 3. This spelling was given by our teacher.

Anglo American for week 3:

Dan Brown was our Anglo-American for week 3. His famous works are The Vinci Code, Angels, and Demons, Deception Point, and Inferno. The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons were two of Dan Brown's films that I watched. Da Vinci's Code is about the child between Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene and Angels and Demons is about acts against the Vatican during an important event. I recommend this movie to the readers but remember that the movie is just fiction and there's no child between Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.

Quarter 4, Week 2 – Judging the Validity of Evidence

 

In week 2 we talk about validity evidence but before that what is evidence? The available body of facts or information that indicates whether a belief or proposition is accurate or valid is known as evidence. Evidence includes data, quotations, facts, statistics, arguments, theories, and research. In validity evidence, we have 4 types. The first type is Statistical Evidence. Statistical Evidence is the most vital type of evidence. It includes numbers and percentages. The second type is Testimonial evidence, Testimonial Evidence is evidence that brings an expert opinion to support the claim. The third type is Anecdotal evidence. It's a case or study that supports your own thesis and the last type of validity evidence is Analogical Evidence. Analogical Evidence compares something that is not certainly known or with a known situation and is one of the weakest sorts of evidence in writing. Following that, the next draw conclusion from the comparison.

Quarter 4, Week 1 – Analytical Listening

It's our first week of the fourth quarter. I'm glad that we started our quarter with an interesting topic which is Analytical Listening. In analytical listening, we have 4 types which are Appreciative listening, Emphatic listening, Comprehensive/Active listening, and our last type is Critical/Analytical listening. Appreciative listening means we're listening for joy and pleasure, like listening to your favorite music. Lending an ear or listening to our friends' problems is referred to emphatic listening; we listen so that we can provide emotional support for the speaker. Comprehensive listening is when we listen to understand the message of the speaker, for example, listening to your teacher to understand your topic and the last is Critical or Analytical listening, Critical or Analytical listening is listening to evaluate a message for purposes of accepting and rejecting it. I really focused on our meeting and lesson that day because it was interesting and easy to understand but I'm quite upset while we were having a recitation because my computer keeps lagging at that time so I can't tap the raised hand and lose extra points. We end our meeting with a prayer and saying goodbye or thank you to our teacher because he teaches us and there are no quizzes posted for week 1 yet except in the weekly blog.
