First meeting for last week was all about note taking. Ma’am Lynnie discussed the strategies or ways on how to take note on our sources we’ve collected. The following were through using quotes, summary and paraphrase. When you use quotes you use quotation marks and ellipses while in summary you write all the necessary information and when you paraphrase, you do the note taking by writing what you have understood in your own words. We were then given an activity by her about this and also on outlining that was discussed the other week.
Deadlines were also scheduled by Ma’am Lynnie. She told us that we are going to pass our note cards and final outline this Tuesday, February 23,2010. Since finals is also fast approaching, our deadline on passing our first draft will be on this coming Friday.
Hope we can make it on our deadlines. We have so many projects and other important matters to be passed this week. God bless everyone. :)

a week of activities..
We had two activities in English two for last week. We were grouped into four and the topics were then assigned to respective groups. We were given the topic sophisticated new technology.
On our first activity, we were tasked to give the specific topic, specific claim and thesis statement. After brainstorming, we had finally written what we were tasked to do. Our specific topic was sophisticated new technology in the field of new technology having the specific claim “It has become more efficient but also expensive.” And we came up to have our thesis statement which is “The government should provide these surgical sophisticated technologies in public hospitals to make them more accessible and helpful to the average income earners.” This is what we have made from our critical thinking.
The second activity that we had last Thursday was the discussion on the group-made outline on our particular topic. Each group-made outline were then evaluated or criticized by the other group as well as Ma’am Lynnie. We crossed our fingers when our turn came. But I am proud to say, we passed that evaluation. Thanks to group mates’ ideas, efforts and cooperation that it turned out so well.

thankful of the acitivity though tired of the sleepless nights..
Such a very exhausting week it is. In our block, we were too busy studying our lessons in accounting for our incoming comprehensive exam. We had started to have our sleepless nights. And we are hoping we will pass.
On the other hand, I also enjoyed last week’s English two class. Why? Simply because we had an activity on how to write the proper entries of our sources using the APA format. We had 2 sets of that game. We were given 1 minute and 30 seconds for every book to get the informations- author,title of the book or articles, year and place of publication and all other important informations that we need . Then another 5 minutes to finalize and write it on a manila paper. We were sad that we did not get a passing score for that activity but we are also thankful because we learn many things from that activity. And on our second meeting last week, we were all scared of Ma’am Lynnie. And again why? Ma’am Lynnie asked us about our topics and our thesis statements. If only we were just asked to say it, it wouldn’t be that difficult. But then, we were asked individually and it was really like a pre oral defense. I was so relieved when Ma’am Lynnie said “Okay. That’s good. We go to the next one.”
That’s all for last week. :D

blog..blog..blog..
Midterms are fast approaching which also means the second semester is also near to end. Freshmen days are over very soon. The days surely fly so fast. We have to make every second counts.
Schedules are starting to be hectic. We are now on the process of making our term paper in English two. Last Thursday, we were tasked to record and have at least five sources written in a 3x5 index card to be passed next meeting. This will help us in finding our sources in the libraries and in the internet easy.
Our teacher also told us that we are going to have an activity tomorrow on how to write the bibliography properly. We were instructed to view on her site the APA style on writing the sources.
