Level 5 Reflection

-


  1. Now that it's over, what are my first thoughts about this overall project? Are they mostly positive or negative?  Interesting and meaningful. I learn a lot from my project and I practice my skills through this project. I consider they are mostly positive.
  2. If positive, what comes to mind specifically? Negative? I did a lot for the first time. I experienced a lot I didn't do before. I developed some skills and solved some problems I didn't thought before. For example, I interviewed strangers for the first time, I am afraid of doing this kind of things. However, the first stranger gave me confidence to interview next one. In addition, during this time, I practice my public speaking. That was a impreseive experience.
  3. What were some of the most interesting discoveries I made while working on this project? About skills? About myself? About others? When I edited the videos, I found some useful and interesting apps. That they were helpful for me. I also learnt something from them. I found cooking is a interesting thing. Prepare and do it. Cooking is a important skill for me. Everyone has their methods to do it. I think I kept a good habit. Doing exercise every day. It maybe a hard thing before, but now, I do it. It's a breakthrough for me, during this progress, I also found the charm of exercise. It's interesting and useful. I think the classmates are friendly and interesting.They worth me to learn something from thme. The people I interviewd were kind. They were willing to solve my questions and patient. The local people like to praise people to their faces. It's direct. That's different from my country's culture.
  4. What were some of my most challenging moments and what made them so? I think making the magazine. That was my first time to make the magazine. I was not familiar to canva. I didn' t know it had templates. In addition, because of time limited, we should put too much stuff on it. It was a challenge for me. However, the next time I did the book. I think I did a good job. 
  5. What were some of my most powerful learning moments and what made them so? Writing the script. For the first video, we always didn't have the specific content. I just had overall main point about it. I didn't have a detailed dialogue about it. Everyone had each ideas. It was not easy to combine all the ideas, However, during I edited the video, I suddenly had the inspiration, I writed down the script quickly. And the partners agreed with my script. I was happy about it.
  6. What is the most important thing I learned personally? I learnt the importance of purpose and skills. Everything should has plan and purpose. That we can have a clearly direction. It will be effictive. In addition, job skills also is useful in life. I found a lot of skills in this time, I should insist finding new skills. That will be helpful for future life. I should try new things.

Today, at 10 am my classmate and I went to the Farmer Market. It set up in the main street, it is closer to the SUU. When I got there, there were lots of people gather there. It is my first time to the farmer market. It not only sold fresh vegetable but also sell food and drink. I bought honey and smoothies. They are delicious! At the same time, I went to Pizza Hut, it is popular in my hometown when I was young. I often went to this restaurant in China. However, I didn't try this in the USA. We ordered double flavors of chicken wings. I didn't see these dishes in China. I love them. Taste good! I prefer bone-out because it is easy to eat. I also found a personal size pizza, I can choose the topping and sauce. That's good and interesting. I also didn't see this dish in China. Overall, it is a wonderful lunch and not expensive. The same restaurant has differences in different countries. I should accept people have different traits, there will not have two same leaves...

WHY THE PENCIL IS PERFECT I watch this video about pencil. The presenter thought pencil is perfect for her. She talked about the history about the pencil and her feeling. I like TED this series, small thing big idea. These presenters found some unimpressive things in life for most people. At the same time, they can find the soul of these items. They are all good at living I think. This video said that the way to make pencils never change until now. The pencils are graded on through four for different hardness. Number two being the ideal hardness for general use. In life, I usually use it for exams. Originally, when pencils were handmade, they were made round. It's hard to make. Afterwards, American invested the machine to make pencils and make a standard for them. So today's pencils are all hexagonal. In the end, the presenter said "there's nothing that can be done to make the pencil better than it is." This series video can help me quickly know the history o...

Last Tuesday at 9 am, I interviewed professor Robb McCollum in General Classroom. First, I asked some questions about his background. He is the professor at ALCC and also is the leader of ALCC. He got a Ph.D. in TESOL and Instructor psychology. He also has two children. In my opinion, he can be considered a successful person. I divided success into three parts. Academic and career, personal, service to others. He had achievement in his academic career, he was kind and patient in his personal success. In addition, as a teacher, the purpose is to help students to learn new knowledge. I was curious about his opinion about whether he is a successful person. He thought service to others is the most important one. He said: "You can do No.3(helping others) very well if you don't also have the other two." He thought these kinds of people also can be considered a successful person. In his opinion, the successful people should be patient and persistent. Actually, through the conve...
