From the mind map, I learned that there were many causes of the Protestant Reformation. The causes were because of King Henry VIII wants to divorce his wife but the pope said he can't. He doesn't agree with the pope so he decided to split up with the church and took control over England's church. Another cause is the 95 thesis from Martin Luther. Next, people learned how to read and the bible in latin was translated. Then make several copies for everyone. On the other hand, there are also other effects that followed. Europe was divided in half and wars.

T his week, we learned about different types of author's point of view in Language Arts. There are three types. The first one is the "first person", the first person is when a story is narrated by only one character at a time, using I/we. Third Person Limited is another type. It is when the author only knows how a character is thinking and feeling. Lastly, the third person omniscient. It is when the author or the narrator knows most of the characters' feelings and thoughts in the story.    F or Social Studies, we are still learning and doing activities about the reformation and we have to make a mind map. We practiced making a mind map by choosing a topic to make a mind map. I chose a topic about decreasing global warming. 

Personal: I would like to improve my map reading score.  Last year, my score was 228 and it was still the same as the beginning of the year which means I haven't really improved. This year, I want to make my score at least 230 or above. I will accomplish that by reading 20 minutes everyday like what the teachers had said. Math & Science: I would like to put more efforts in these two subjects. I found that they are also important as LA and SS. I will try to put more efforts in studying these two subjects when we have upcoming tests. I will try not to be off task while studying for tests because I get distracted easily. LA & SS: For both subjects,  I would like to make the vocabularies stuck in my mind. I will do that by practicing the vocabulary every week at night so that I will be able to remember it. Electives: Culinary Art From what I've seen in PowerSchool, my engagement grade is P. I want to improve my change my grade to at least an M. I don't feel pr...

L ast week in Language Arts class, we learned about the character's assertions. I learned that assertions are characters traits and evidence is an actual quote from the text to proof what we are saying. We also talked about how to find the direct and indirect characterizations that were mentioned in the text. The difference between direct and indirect are as follows: 1. Indirect characterizations are texts that were mentioned in the texts by the author to show things that reveal about the character.  ex: She went to clean the sink without being asked       This shows that the character is kind. 2. Direct characterizations are words that were mentioned directly in the text by the author, who wants to tell the reader about the character.  ex: The happy girl is looking at the food with sparkly eyes       This shows that the girl is happy.  Here is one my example using Kungfu Panda 3's Po, the panda.    ...

  This year's summer is great! On the first day of summer is the start of my vacation. My cousins came to visit us in Bangkok. For this year's summer, we decided to go to a beach called Pattaya. Then, we spent a few days shopping at the malls to buy things we need for the beach. We bought things such as t-shirts, shorts, sunglasses, flip flops, hats, and etc. Pattaya is not far at  all, it's only 2-3 hours drive from Bangkok. Guess what's the first thing we did after we arrived, we EAT! We had seafood and ice-cream for dessert. My favorite menu is Thailand's number one food, Tom Yum Koong soup. It is one of the most famous dishes in Thailand. After we eat, we drive to the resort. We did not really travel much in Pattaya because my grandma is sick so we just stay at the resort. But we also went  out to eat at different restaurants in Pattaya. We tried seafood, Italian food, and Indian food. They were all delicious, but I prefer Thai food. We stayed for 3 days and 2 n...
