Reflection

During my studies I have been studying with Aj. Ussa for 2 times. This is the last week class of Critical Reading subject for me to studying with her. I had studied in this the period  totally 15 weeks. At first, I'm firm this subject is rather difficult to learn. It may be because we need to use our brainstormings to analysis and share ideas go together. However, I love to writing in English so I liked this subject, Critical Reading because  she usually speaks English with the students in class thoroughly. She is quite on time and serious about teaching as well. So I have respected her behaves and teaching. About her lesson is harder than I think. She had always been brought these lesson are useful. I liked subject matter that she brought to us. I remembered she usually asked us to came out to share our ideas what we learn from last week and then write on the white board. There is nothing I don't like. Although, there are always hard but I get more knowledge and get their new vocabularies often. so I would love to curious a new thing about education in class all the time. I sometimes I felt bored to sat a long time for hours on end but I never get in this subject is so annoyed while she is teaching. Finally, I get more knowledge about thinking and analysis. Therefore, I would like to express my heartfelt thank you to Aj. Ussa Noytim who gave invaluable times to teach us and gave valuable information on ambiguous points. I am also grateful to you Aj. Ussa very much.

Diary 15

Today is the last week class of Critical Reading subject's Aj. Ussa. I had continued  learn about Reading News Articles from last week, Facebook. She gave us to share our ideas in class and answer the questions on the white board as same in the morning. So she wants us to answer on that sheet. I answered to 6 questions yesterday last night. This is my answering from the questions :

1. How many users does Facebook have?

There are 400 million Facebook users.

2. With what websites has Facebook recently begun sharing users' personal profile information?

the recently changes by Facebook fundamentally became to the relationship between users the social networking site. Before the has changed users had control over info. 

3.What other changes has Facebook recently made to the website?

Facebook has changed its own website to create more pages such as users' biographical info.

4. Even if you block information shared from your site, how could your personal  information still be made public?

Apparently, If we block information about sharing to another one from our sites. We still be made our personal informations public. According to the types of information listed below are always publicy available and you can decide to make public.

5. Do you think Facebook should automatically share your info, and only refrain from doing so if you know about it and go into your setting to opt out? Explain your answer.

To my thinking, Facebook shouldn't be allowed to auto share our info without the informations owners authorization. They should get a question asking if they will allow Facebook to do so.

6.This article states " Facebook wants to make money by selling user information." Do you think that is their motive for sharing your info, or is it as Facebook stated, to assist user by " Promoting social activity" by sharing your info? Explain your answer.

To my thinking, Facebook wants to sell  our info as a way to boost their income but I also feel some info sold can sometimes assist a user of Facebook social credit depending on what information they have sold or though it may also not assist them. If the user doesn't want their information given away.

Today, this is the fourth week class of Critical Reading subject that I had learnt about Reading Editorials in the morning at 8:30 a.m with Aj. Ussa, she has taught us how to consider and analysis in this lesson and to know about what does the editorial means? Next, she gave us to read the details in this sheet. It is about the light rail cars collided with a stopped one-care train in San Fracisco 44 people hurt.

It's about"Book review/positive and negative comment: Christine Nuttall." She wants us to check and find positive and negative in each lines. Actually, I can do not a bit.

So this assignment we should hand in these to her next week.

After I have finished this test and I have learned a new worksheet; it about observe the skills of author's purpose,tone,point of view,and intended audience. So in this lesson, it has a point or questions to ask yourself that How much do you understand what the text is about?,What did the author's point of view? and something else in those questions. So we had to use your own thinking, think about the effect/Critical Reader.I thought If we use and think about the passages as we do, it should be importance in analysis for everyone in class. It because it can be helped us to practice. After that Aj. Ussa, she gave us to do exercise, 10 questions. I think what I've done; it is the challenge of us and I don't found any problems while I'm doing it.

Today, this is the eighth week class of Critical Reading subject. At first, I got a new worksheet also I had learnt about Learning Experience. I'm going to study about The World 's Oldest First Grader. So Aj. Ussa she wrote the word on the whiteboard that " You're never too old to learn" and then she gave us to expression or explain the definition of this word even do exercises. After she gave us to see a movie "The World's Oldest First Grader" so while i'm watching this movie, I think in this movie was such a very good. It will probably useful and suitable to everyone as the students. In this story is about One man in Kenya his name is Marruge. He is a farmer and worked hard but he fought with other Kenyans according to he wants to against the British colonists and then he wanted to learn in primary school because he wants both of reading and writing. he deserved a good chance for learning yet it wasn't always easy for him. However, he is attend to school, motivated until successful; such is his life! I don't have any problems or anything in this lesson because it seems like everyone in class were understand as well.

If we read the text repeatedly. We will know what does the passage mean? the next, we have done vocabulary study synonyms and vocabulary words in context in this sheet. Some I did it correct and incorrect about 2-3 questions and I'm pretty found the problem that it should be practice on.

In this lesson it about looking for the main idea so Aj.Ussa, she gave us try to give the definition of Identifying Main Ideas that how would it be?and then make comprehension the structure of Early Hypothesis Formation and Testing. This structure which have 5 step, each step has a skill practice 1-2, Reading comprehension, and Analysis.When we read the main ideas those passages we need to read each paragraph as everyone who reading careful guesses in order to give each person will find the paragraph's main idea. I found any problems, everyone in class were pretty confused because they quite not understand these well. It was such a difficult because those vocabularies are officially and it seems like atmosphere inside the classroom it was seriously and stressful. About me, I think in this lesson is very difficult for me to understand. I have to read it repeatedly for considering. I can feel challenge in this lesson.

In this photo Leonardo's painting Mona Lisa, it has a meaning for him. After we had shared our brainstorming/thinking within classroom some student who were given commenting about this photo, they said; she is very beautiful but in her eyes it looks so sad. About me  I have commented in this photo that this picture Mona Lisa is telling us about life. She might be unhappy because it has something in her it is hard to understand and we couldn't guess how is it. If we look at her eyes we will know, she wants to be free and peaceful. I felt not stressed this much so Aj. Usaa, she's assignment gives me learn about Mona Lisa's picture and then use our brain for imagination. I haven't found any problems about analysis. It made me I liked it to use my thinking for imagination,recognizing, and creation instead feeling. I wrote it or they called Highlighted by their feelings. I have test-preparation it has two questions for answering. All of them are about writing in English. Finally, I would like to imagine because it make me expand to discussion.

Diary 1

This is my first semester in the morning today, I'm glad to study with my Aj. Usa again after I haven't learned with her for two half years. So this course syllabus i have to learning about " Critical Reading subject " I had learned how to discussion,analyst, and so on. Before beginning to a lesson. She has explained those course syllabus or reviews what i have learnt last year ago and then express opinions in group. I found this subject it is difficult, nervous,and headache. It is an important to emphasize but we had to use our ideas  for thinking and argument each sentences. There are complicated understanding because I was pretty don't understand critical thinking easily. This is a big mental for me to trying understand. Really,this subject, we needs to develop our language and try to speak in English in class. Finally, I want even more about thinking skill.
