Hello this is Sally Kim, and I like to take pictures with a fake smile, and this picture tells that I enjoy taking pictures of my self because I look happy.

CAFETERIA PARAGRAPH


I interviewed Mrs. Ma, the high school Chinese teacher. She’s has been teaching in SAS more than 10 years, and has more than 20 years of teaching experience. She enjoys teaching here. She is currently, the sponsor of the Japanese Animation Club. She said, to be a successful student here at SAS, we should work hard always.

**LEARNING STRATEGIES**

- When I take notes I learn it better. - Reading carefully helps me understand stuff more. - I should take time trying stuff physically. - I should always ask questions. - I should take time reading my notes over and over.



LEARNER SUMMARY
Shanghai American School is very different than other schools in lots of ways. It has a different point of viewing the student. Not only academically, but also cares and counts the student’s attitude and behavior. Student with high scores are also a successful student, but students who try hard on everything and act positive are the most successful students here. Shanghai American School encourages students to try new things, and participate in different activities such as, club activities, spirit week, or sports. Everyone is involved in at least one club or sports. There are also some people doing sports and several clubs. SAS not only teaches us how to read, write, and speak, but also teaches us the proper way to think and live our own way. During this unit, I learned that I learn better with reading and writing. From now on, I am going to write notes and read it over and over again before quizzes and tests. I take responsibility for learning through behaviors such as active listening, asking clarifying questions, and revising work. I turn in my work on most of the time. My old school, International School of Qingdao, was a good spiritual school. Unlike my old school, SAS gives me more opportunity to try different stuff. I learned that in order to do well at SAS I will need to be very organized, and ask whenever I don’t get something. The SAS unit, thought me lots of facts about me, and this school that I didn’t even notice before.

**LISTENING**
In EAL, music monday was based of distinguishing multiple meanings of the lyrics. This helped me develop the skills of distinguishing multiple meanings of lyrics. When Mr. Wild was explaining our Romeo and Juliet project, I could understand it and analyze what she said and could relate to another project that I did at my old school. POEM B -short, unfinished sentence
 * L1: I can distinguish between multiple meanings of oral words or phrases in social and academic contexts**
 * L2: I can analyze content-related tasks or assignments based on oral discourse**
 * L3: I can categorize examples of genres read aloud**

BLOG ENTRY E-unprofessional tone such as ‘nasty’ ‘us’

SHNGHAI NEWSPAPER C-specific interview from professor Zhao Wei’s - from Shanghai

INTERNATIONAL NEWSPAPAER D- called china ‘china’, negative things in China- Chinese newspaper usually only good things

TECHNICAL REPORT A-‘research’ more like a ‘reporting’ tone

In dance class, we were assigned to compare to dances and write a description about it. Then we had to present our paragraphs and persuade our classmates to agree with my paragraph. I got a A on this assignment.
 * L4: I can compare traits based on visuals and oral descriptions using specific and some technical language**

**SPEAKING**
In English we had to write a speech about a quote and find evidence from History. I found some evidence from Stalin's Russia and I got a A- on this task. During a EAL vocabulary quiz, one of the speaking assignment was to compare an old father to a modern father. I said an old father expects respect from other family members and the modern father is more like a friend. I took notes during Asian History as homework. I talked to my mom about the pros and cons for taking spanish instead of chinese next year. By watching many TV shows such as "How I Met Your Mother", "90210", I learned to use and respond to slangs. When I am explaining something in english to my brother and when he doesn't understand it, I use Korean to help him out.
 * S1: I can take a stance and use evidence to defend it**
 * S2: I can compare and contrast points of view**
 * S3: I can explain content-related issues and concepts**
 * S4: I can analyze and share pros and cons of choices**
 * S5: I can use and respond to gossip, slang, and idiomatic expressions**
 * S6: I can use speaking strategies (e.g., circumlocution)**

**READING**
In all my book talks, I compared text to text. The book I read to another book that I know or I have read. In science class, we are often given a graph to analyze and understand it. In Chemistry we were given a graph of boiling points and melting points of the first twenty elements of the Periodic Table. I could look at it and understand the table right away. When we were doing the reading packet during EAL, toward the end, I pretty much got everything right. I could read the text and using the key words, infer meaning from it. During Asian History, we learned about the fall of the Qing dynasty. We had to know the cause and effect. One factor that cause the Qing dynasty to fall was peasant rebellion. In Chemistry and Biology, we are always given graphs to analyze. During the final lab for Chemistry, I had to look at a graph other group made and understand it immediately. I could tell the graph was from their experiment using sugar and as time went on their results were increasing.
 * R1: I can compare/contrast authors’ points of view, characters, information, or events**
 * R2: I can interpret visually- or graphically-supported information**
 * R3: I can infer meaning from text**
 * R4: I can match cause to effect**
 * R5: I can evaluate usefulness of data or information supported visually or graphically**

**WRITING**
In Asian History, sometimes we had to read a section from our reading packet and take notes. I would read it, underline key words and summarize the whole this to a couple sentences at the end. As a result I could remember the story clearly. When Hans and Luke edited my Romeo and Juliet essay in class, I listened to their opinion and feedback, then revised my essay according to their suggestions. They suggested I should use another example instead my 'Christian' example, so I changed it to 'open minded'. The personal book project in EAL required us to use narrative voice. I wrote about a story in Korea with speaking English. I used my own voice to explain how I was confused when people started to stare at me for speaking English in Korea. For English, Animal Farm speech, I had to explain my thoughts and and give evidence to persuade people. I said, that truth is eventually believed my everyone when they keep repeating it, and I gave examples from Stalin's Russia. I got a 90% on this assignment. The China Alive project was producing content related reports. I used evidences from websites, books, and also some field works.
 * W1: I can summarize content-related notes from lectures or text**
 * W2: I can revise work based on narrative or oral feedback**
 * W3: I can compose narrative and expository text for a variety of purposes**
 * W4: I can justify or defend ideas and opinions**
