Night class...tonight we learnt how to identify whether the sentence is FACTS or OPINION...

HOW TO RECOGNIZE FACT AND OPINION?!?!?!

To know if the sentence is a fact..ask yourself

"Is this statement proven or can be proved???"

To know if the sentence is opinion...ask people next to you

"Does this tell a thought or feeling???"

"Would the statement be true all time???"

Then we play a game...we are salesperson and we must convince people to buy our product...and my product is OREO...everyone love oreo..that's an opinion..whaha...we must give ten statement about the product and the rest will guest how much fact and opinion...my group included Megat, Sue, Ifa, n Eira...peace

i have no IDEA

4/12/2012
Second class in 2012... ;)

Today we learnt how to find main ideas...
But, before we started...Miss Zu cheked our portfolio...OH NO!!!
My portfolio is still lacking many things....and Miss Zu asked me to complete it...She is going to checked it again...

Main idea of the passage is the thought that is present from the beginning to the end...


In finding the main idea, ASK YOURSELF these...
-what idea is common to most of the text??
-what is the idea that relates the parts to the whole??
-what opinion do all the parts support??

In order to find main idea..you must look for the topic sentences of each paragraphs...then understand the supporting details...Topic sentences USUALLY at the first sentence in the paragraph...then you can find the main idea... :)

my idea....where could it be???

just follow the steps like what Donald is doing...haha

HOPE YOU FIND IT...bye2

Non-linear to linear text writing.

Tuesday - 03/12/2012
Today, we learnt how to change non-linear text to linear text. It is an interpretation of information presented graphically.

Tips how to do interpretation...
1) spend 5 minutes reading the graph/charts...
2)makes sure you understand axes...
3)makes sure you follow lines on graph...
4)focus on the key information...
5)if two graph - compare...
6)think about the time period - tenses...
7)vary your vocabulary...
8)organize information clearly...
9)write neatly....for sure

Non-linear writing's formula
                                      TITLE
first paragraph : Over View + Control Idea
next                 :   give 2 - 3 key features
conclusion       : Prediction + Proposal


Firstly, extract the TITLE from the question and underline it.
Over view - what does the stimuli present??
answer : a bar graph, diagram, pie chart, etc...
Control idea - What is the general trend of all the stimuli combined??
answer : increasing, decreasing, constant, or fluctuating...
For the second, third and fourth paragraph, you need to identify the key  features which are the most outstanding ideas from the stimuli...
NOTES: DO NOT MAKE ANY EXTERNAL ASSUMPTIONS
For the closing, it consist of minimum two sentences...prediction and proposal
Predict what future trend....Propose a recommendation....

POEM.....

21/12/2011
Today task is very special...We learnt about contextual clues...Miss Zu asked us to write a simple poem...The theme is "I think I can...". I'm not a poet...but, I give a try...like what people always said "Practise makes perfect"

I am no one in this world

I have nothing in this world

I am small in this world

But,

There is a lot of things I think I can do

I think I can achieve triumph

If I run to it

I think I can avoid disaster

If I run from it

I think I can be better

If I improve myself

I think I can become a leader

If I have the courage to do so

I think I can be loved

If I love everyone

I think I can lead this world to peace

If I can change the heart of each person

I know that all the things that I think I can do can be done

I know that I can become the most brightest star in the skies

I know I can become the light that will lead peoples out from darkness

If I think I can.....

                                                  

So, that is my poem....I know it is not good enough...but, that is the best I can create on that time...
