After a long time of not playing the game Terraria, I logged on. I'd forgotten the key controls and thus had to test out and relearn what each key did.

In sewing, I had to figure out how much smaller to sew my dress by experimenting on its seams.]]> 2020-02-03 23:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mpensell/ldfwr7n4xw5l/wish/439994620 mpensell https://padlet.com/mpensell/ldfwr7n4xw5l/wish/439994700 My constructive learning occurred in my British Literature class and my Japanese class. 

In British Literature, we had to read and summarize two different texts. This required the students to understand the plot and condense the information presented in the stories.

In my Japanese class, we always learn the grammatical lesson. Afterwards, we verbally practice the grammar one by one with the sentence structure we learned.]]> 2020-02-03 23:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mpensell/ldfwr7n4xw5l/wish/439994700 mpensell https://padlet.com/mpensell/ldfwr7n4xw5l/wish/439994807 The cooperative learning occurred in creating a Powerpoint and in a dance group.

When creating the Powerpoint, I worked together with one of my friends to explore the effect of the coronavirus. By feeding off each others ideas in order to present the information in the most acceptable and informative way to the audience.

In the dance group, all of the girls and I reviewed the moves together in order to retain the dance. Everyone remembered a different part, and put together it was everything we needed to remember.]]> 2020-02-03 23:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mpensell/ldfwr7n4xw5l/wish/439994807 mpensell https://padlet.com/mpensell/ldfwr7n4xw5l/wish/439994884 I also experienced the real life application of creating marketing materials.

For the lunar new year, I designed a flyer. The flyer I made was posted and used as marketing for my student association.

I also worked on choreography. By planning the moves around different girls, I was able to play to the girls' strengths.]]> 2020-02-03 23:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mpensell/ldfwr7n4xw5l/wish/439994884 mpensell https://padlet.com/mpensell/ldfwr7n4xw5l/wish/439994924 I had two intentional goals, one of counting, and one for memorization.

For counting, I applied it to calculating my calories. My goal was to keep the calories I consumed under a certain number.

In memorization, I had the goal of memorizing eight kanji for my Japanese test, stroke order included. This was important to my future application of kanji in Japanese class.]]> 2020-02-03 23:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mpensell/ldfwr7n4xw5l/wish/439994924
