Presentation

Today, I did my presentation about kobe. Compare to the last time of my presentation, it got much better. For example, I could see the eyes of the audience and talk to them with smiling. In addition to that, I could use hand gesture to explain or to emphasis what I want to tell. On the other hand, I forgot to tell thank for coming to my presentations so that I would like not to forget to say it
next presentation in the wimter classes. I also would like to improve my mistakes and the things that I succeeded. Thank you for everything, Rab.

Pre-presentation

We did presentation in the last class. I had found a lot of things that I have to cover till next class. For example, I need to stand straightly and move around. Anyway I will do my best next class.

Presentation

Today, I have learned how to make presentation effectively. I have seen so many presentations that filled just with words. However, I also have learned that using pictures and not writting complete sentenses are the importanr points we have to be careful when we make presentation in my junior high school. That is why I havw already knew some of the things we learned today. On the other hand, I was surprised to use a picture as a background. It impressed me because the presentation became to look much better. I definietly will use the method to make my presentation better.

Zotero 2

In addition to what we learned in the last class, we learned about Zotero much more deeply. If I want to use the source of video or music, with using it, it is as easy as to make citation form of books. I felt like there is nothing that we cannot make the citation forms with Zotero. Actually, it has already been useful to write an essay in the ARW class. Now, I cannot even imagine if I could have to write it without Zotero.

Zetro

Today, I learned such a funtastic tool which is called Zetro. It will absolutely help me when I have to include citations in my essay or report to avoid plagiarism because it automaticaly make the form of citation such as MLA. It is also easy to use because when we research books, newspaper and so on, by just clicking one button on URL bar, we can see the publisher, published year, published place and so on. I already download it on mu computer and looking so forward to using it with my ARW essay.

Library orientation

Today's library orientation was very significant. LexisNexis was the one I will definitely use for writing a research paper because the newspaper is appropriate  source for it. However, even though I thought Grammarly is very useful to collect gramatical mistakes, it costs money to use it!!!!!!!!!!!! I am really dissapointed about it and did not even know that because librarians did nit tell us!!! I wish I could use it without paying money. That would be awesome.

The second class of R&P

Today, using the survey which was homework from the last class, we discussed what is important to use a survey as the evidence of an essay. I did not decide what my topic would be yet but learned that I have to carefully think who I should ask to answer my survey, and how many people will be enough to show it as evidence if I need to use it. I also got to know that Awesome screen shot that is really an awesome technique because we can take screenshot just by clicking one button and using mouse to select wherever the part we want. I have known how to screen shot since Ayako who was the last ATS teacher taught us how to so it, however, that was not that easy. I am so impressed so that I am looking forward to learning new stuff more in this class.

The first R&P class

 It was the first time for me to have R&P in this semester. I have learned how to use Mac effectively through the class. Since I have used only Windows, I did not even know that there are differences between Mac and Windows. In addition to that, even though I have used Google, I found that I did not use them effectively. For example, I have never used tasks before but now, it has already helped me a lot to remember my homework. It is difficult for me to use Mac because it is complecated but I am looking forward to learning how to use them in this class and becoming the person who can use them usefully in the future.
