During the science theory class, we've learned a lot of knowledge and did a lot of classwork. The knowledges we learned are all about cells, include but not range to the structure of cells, what is the difference between animal and plant cells, how did different organelles do its job and help maintain the live of that organism. During the science lab class, we had gone through cool experiments and record down everything. For instance, we take a look at different cells : Rabbit's muscle tissue, Onion skin cells, and paramecium. And we take notes about the look and do hypothesis about it.
At the end of the first term, I make some improvements compare to last semester and some mistake that can be improved! For example, first, I learn to keep all the paper and classwork in my notebooks, which is really essential. Last semester, I messed up with it and every time I opened my book, every classwork fell out and some of them were the temporary note I took in class. This semester, I got a very good sticky tape, convenient and fast, which allows me to stick every pages of worksheets and notes on the book. Second, I become more motivative. Last semester, I was still not very outward like now, and I am always alone and quiet, although I still try my best being the teacher's pet finishing everything well and timely. This time, with my curiosity, I mostly ask every single question I am wondering and take the note down. Third, just like what I said, I take notes down, which means that finally, I can have a much more organized and detailed science notebook!(Ta daaaaa!!!).
However, I also make some mistakes, such as getting distracted in class and always feeling like head in the cloud and dizzy, even want to roll my eyes because of the upcoming worksheets, etc. The biggest problem is I lost my passion of writing and answering question by writing. Not only in science, but in other subjects. I started to hate writing down and more tend to type. I realized this question already when it was at the end of the summer vocation, but I don't think it was a big deal or something. Now I find out it is, because teacher Jateen tell us to write something down mostly every minutes! Therefore, a possible and practical plan is to started give up on typing that much and write more, so I get use to it. Such as write a full sentence when I want to use slang and incomplete sentence like changing "ye bro" into "Yes! my friend!" And hopefully, I can start build habit about it.
On the other hand, I am more outward, and I even talk and discuss about one of a work, the Venn Diagram that is about the similarity and difference of animal cells and plant cells. So for people who don't know, Venn Diagram is the diagram that 2 circles stack on each other, for the interaction of 2 circles, we write the similaraty; for the sperate part, we write the difference/feature of the subjects.
This diagram on the left is the thing I was talking about. And at that time when we are doing the Venn Diagram that is about the similarity and difference of animal cells and plant cells, Lenna is my partner. Since I write stuff fast and without a lot of thinking, so I finished first. Then Lenna and Xu-Pei tells me that I write the organelles in the wronge way. I used to use letters to represent all the organelles, but soon, I find out Lenna uses the name of those organelles as her answer. I quickly change my answer and write the full name out, which saves me from teacher Jateen's reminder (he is so scary!).
Not only this, I also discuss with my friend, Liam Schechter, about my GSP. He quickly point out that I got A TON OF grammar mistakes which really make me feel sorry for Ms. Tran, and tell me that I shall use correct tense and words on different spot. Also, I tell him about how hard it is to start this GSP reflection, so he quickly give me some sentence starters and structure to build this whole thing up (I hope he also figure some out since last time I checked, he wasn't finished )! Therefore, I am pretty confident that this GSP will have only minor mistake on grammar and spelling!!
