Library orientation

This week, we had a library orientation instead of R&P class. we learned a new style, how to research and find a newspaper article and other useful information for our essay. We had a library orientation during the spring term but it was a different lecture from that. There were new service for us to find an article more faster and accurate. I was very happy to know we are able to find old newspaper articles.I do not like reading books so i wanted to use  more newspapers, so I want to use this app as possible as I can. Also this time we took a attendance by replying the message from the teacher. It was the first challenge for us to take our attendance in this special way. I thought it is very easy to say we are in the class, but on the other hand , it will be easier to lie and pretend as some of the students were there. If we put some easy question in the message, it might be a good way to prevent some of them lie.

Today, I learned a fantastic tool in the class. The name of the tool is "awesome screenshot"!! After entering ICU, there were many times that I wanted to use the page that I researched in computer. I always had to open the page on iPhone and make a screenshot and send it to the gmail on the computer. It takes many time and feel boring. But this tool has solved this problem. Just open the page, download and install. We are already ready to make a screenshot. There are camera icon on the left top of the page. Click it and we can edit the page by using shapes, text and so on. Choose the range of the photo and click the mark, and the screenshot are made. It was very useful for me and I am very glad to know this tool. It will make my essay making more easily. Rab told us to think about connecting R&P class with other ELA classes. By using the tools I learn in R&P class will make the essay we write in the ELA class more good. As one of the tool, I also learned how to make and check a survey last week.  Today we did a feedback about it too. I earned many points to fix in my survey and I would like to change and do it again. I also felt that to make a good data, I need many people to answer my survey. So I thought posting the link to an SNS (ex. Facebook ,twitter etc) will solve this problem. We must put an space to type in there age and otherthings but I think it is the best way to collect many data. I realized many way to make my essay idea. I am looking forward to using these tools.

Our autumn term started and I was wondering what will are going to do in the R&P class. I have heard from my friends that our teacher is a very nice teacher. He started to speak how he is wonderful at the begging of the class. I thought by listening to his speaking.  His speaking was little bit fast for me and he gives us many information at once, so I was confused to understand and success the tasks that he said to do. Maybe, my listening is poor that i could not make my work smooth. I want to improve my listening skills to understand what my teacher said. In some of the tasks, i could not remember if we did it during the spring term.I felt I have to review or research some of the things that teacher said. I am little bit anxious whether I could do the things that is expected to do in this R&P autumn term class.
