I definitely stepping towards my goals, by going slowly a bit by bit such as doing things a bit earlier.I'm definitely gonna keep working on my goals as they can keep being improved on. Some new goals I'd like to set up is being more of an inquirer as well as being balanced with my education.I'd also like to be more communicative,open-minded and take more risks.


Aug 20th Reflection - 
For my goals I've definitely succeded on most of them as I do homework at a set time everyday after school and do enough activity and reducing electronics before sleeping. Also I've been able to sleep earlier to have more energy the next day. However I still need to work on reading more everyday and writing more.

Nov 5th goals-
2 learner characteristics I think I exhibited this year were open-minded as before I usually came up with my own answer and kept that alone in my mind but instead I wanted to see and understand other perspectives. Also Reflective as when I completed work I worked to see what my own strengths and weaknesses are. 2 characteristics I want to learn for next semester is inquirer to grow my curiosity and risk-taker to give it my best shot even if unsure.

Feb 22nd reflection/goals- 
Through the beginning of the second semester, I've definitely become more curious in asking more questions and looking for information. As well as trying to be a risk-taker, by taking more risks even though if the decision isn't 100% sure. I would like to keep the same goals, as I feel it would help me get through this next stage of the second semester.

May 13th reflection/goals - Through this second half of the last semester, I'm still working on my goals. Trying to be more curious by asking more questions and being engaged. Along with being the risk-taker and more so these next last 2 weeks. And a goal is also to be balanced as well as being a thinker. As spending a strong amount of time on homework and studying in general, spending an appropriate time on electronics. Not just filling in the blanks for HW but understanding it. Also being a thinker outside of school. And also balancing family time.]]> 2020-10-01 19:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jchao28/lswnzhe94gieud2t/wish/796150053 jchao28 https://padlet.com/jchao28/lswnzhe94gieud2t/wish/796151859 KL To pimp a butterfly-
Some global issues I saw in Kendrick Lamars album was institutional racism and how it locked KL in a compton mindset. I also saw violence/gang violence as a global issue as he talks about gun violence and also to add on institutional racism, Kendrick talks about how it was an occurence at BET awards and how they were never lactose intolerant

Hexagon thinking activity 11/24 - In the Hexagon thinking activity we gathered a group of Kendrick Lamar's songs and connected the based on their themes. We then wrote on why they connected and the similar relationships of those songs

Kendrick Lamar Paragraph 12/1/2020
In the KL paragraph I used my past notes on one of his songs and wrote a paragraph on it. I talked about how it could relate to a past songs meaning and the messages it sent.

Nike BOW Assessment - In the Nike BOW assessment, I chose to do the Cant stop our voices ad, which had an interesting theme of basketball mixed in with televisions which showcased social issues.

Connecting Nike Ads to KL -
In all the Nike ads they're speaking up on social justice and global issues such as racism, inequality and conflict. In Kendrick Lamar's music he mainly discussed the problems he is most familiar with, which is racism, and violence. Nike speaking on social justice but more of a broader focus on the general issues for the entire world such as covid.

Final Calvin and Hobbes paper 1

Annotation of C&H comic

Outline of C&H paper 1

Calvin & Hobbes BoW

Reflection: One global issue I noticed in C&H's body of work was bullying with Calvin being the recipient. Bill Watterson's perspective was quite similar to the messages portrayed in Persepolis, as they're drawn out and explained through implicit message

H18 Making Connections

Bron a crime notetaker
Ernest Cole BOW 3
A global issue both text share in common is in terms of government. In Born a Crime, Trevor details the life he lived as a colored person and how his parents couldn't identify with him due to differing races. Also he himself simply couldn't be caught in white neighborhoods due to the rules placed by the government. And in Ernest Cole's photographs it showed benches, excluding anyone except europeans. And it also showed tribesmen waiting for work as the government split them by their respective races.

One issue: Two takes - 
Reflecting on the author's perspective, the cartoon creators angle was transparant and with the article it needed more dissecting to fing that their angle was opposing climate change.

Annotated texts -
WT- In Wesleys Theory we listened to Kendrick Lamar's song. Together as a class we discussed different meanings in the lyrics
King Kunta - We dissected the song King Kunta by Kendrick Lamar. He alluded the story of Kunta Kinte to his own situation in the song.
Institutionalized - I dissected the Kendrick Lamar song Institutionalized. We listened to the Dissect podcast and the themes Kendrick discussed.
Alright - We dissected different Kendrick Lamar songs. The group I was in, we discussed in a group the lyrics of Alright.
Blacker berry -
Annotating the texts helps me understand them better because it lays out the possible meanings cand makes it easier to connect ideas. I feel somewhat confident about developing a thesis and creating topic sentences,however I need practice.I try to use relevant evidence to support my claims and analyzing supportind evidence is a stron suite.

Play For the world (nike ad) -
We watched a Nike ad which we dissected different camera angles and sounds. We then made connections with them to a grand scheme.

Never Too Far Down (Nike ad) - One interesing note from this ad is that when the athletes began to persevere, it showed rooms with lights turning on and scoreboards lighting up. Some features that made it more effective, was the close shots to the athletes faces, showing emotion and the melodic music going with the video, possibly trying to evoke the feeling of inspiration and joy.

Can't Stop Our Voices -
Something notable of this text was that the televisions would turn on as the ad played. The features that helped the effectiveness was that the Televisions played athletes speaking up on social justice.

reflection: Annotating these 2 comics helped me look at the background and what implicit messages within the drawing could mean to the overall understanding. My strengths are looking at the literal meaning, however I could improve on symbolism of comics.

Written reflection (2/22): One comic I examined was the depression comic. The most notable thing about this comic was that a lot of the feelings that were picked up weren't from the text. The features that made it most effetive were the use of backgrounds and facial expressions. This creator of the text chose to do this possibly as a way to let the reader know depression isn't always communicated through words.

The thing that was quite notable with this collection was how they captured different aspects of apartheid in each photo.
