ChingChing's Blog-Folio

The past 2-3 weeks, we've been learning about themes, tone and mood, figurative language such as imagery. Also, we have been reading "The Giver" as a whole class. Themes are secretly said in the novels teaching life lessons for readers. While tone and mood affect the atmosphere and feelings when reading. Additionally, there are many types of figurative language, but we focused on imagery mostly. Imagery appeals to our five senses which are touch, taste, see, hear, and smell. Furthermore, we've been reading "The Giver" and start analyzing the story. Recently, we have finished reading chapter 12 when the main character, Jonas met the Giver .

We made fried rice this time. We start off by boiling rice in the pot. Our group's rice is a bit wet and sticky. While waiting for the rice to be cooked, we prepared and chopped onions, garlic, lime and broccoli for next class. We then put them all in the fridge. Additionally, we also have to make the fish sauce. We added fish sauce, lime, and chili to the sauce. The next class, we took the ingredients out and got tomatoes, cucumber, eggs, and one more lime for the day. Our first step is adding oil to the pan and waited till it's hot. After it's we then added the vegetables. Then, the rice and put in soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce to give it some flavors. After the veggies and rice are ready, move them to the side of the pan. Then crack the eggs and make sure they are cooked before mixing them with the rice. Place the fried rice on a plate and decorate them. Because our rice is wet and soggy, the fried rice turned out to be sticky and not that yummy.
