How to train your dragon advertisement

This advertisement has used a long shot angle which has shown the character of the movie in an environment. As the advertisement is a bit unclear, it adds suspense to the movie. The advertisement is also quite "dark' thus there are not many details in the advertisement, but the viewers of it can see the outline of shapes well, which allows one to be curious about what is actually in the picture. The advertisement also shows a certain character holding onto a torch from afar, which may seem like a flash of light or a signal for help, depending on one's perspective, which lastly adds suspense to the movie and make viewers of the poster want to watch the movie.

Intrapersonal Question a

Title: Journal according to Joe Carp.
April 25
Today, Charlie came back to work and he managed to figure out a new way to line up the machines in the factory and it will help my boss, Mr. Donnegen save up to ten thousand dollars a year and Charlie even got a bonus for it. Many people talked about it and we have all come to a conclusion that Charlie is indeed getting smarter and smarter after the operation. We also had a feeling that Charlie has already figured out that we have made fun of him, and we were all afraid that he will play those tricks back on us. We had a few more discussions about Charlie. Of course, all these was done behind Charlie's back. I guess it will be better that way so that I will not look stupid in other people's eyes as compared to Charlie. Mr. Donnegen had better not fire people as i could overhear from the conversation that Charlie had with him that his plan would help to save labor costs. I hope that i would still be able to maintain my job. Well, today Frank and I also agreed that we should avoid Charlie at all cost as he should have already understood the pranks that we played on him and what it means to play a good one on Charlie and also in case that Charlie plays those tricks back on us and make us look like we are stupid. The group of us also have come to a decision to stop talking to Charlie. I hope that Charlie will quit his job soon so that we will look better in Mr. Donnegen's eyes.

Multiple intelligence test.

27/02/10
Today, i have finally done my multiple intelligence test. The test says that i have an intrapersonal intelligence. If you do not believe, here is the code: wlr2v8sxs82496j.
I agree with the test that i have indeed an intrapersonal intelligence, which means that i am people-intelligence. I know this as when my friends are upset or something has affected their mood, i would definitely know about it and help to cheer my friends up. Being people-intelligence means that i must also know how to read other people's mood which is what i can do and sort of love to do. Thus, i indeed do agree with this test and i find it very accurate.

CA

19/02/10
Today, we had our first CA mock session. It was not very well done as most of our points were not linked to the topic which was "What it means to be a singaporean." Miss Yeo said that we would have all failed if it was the real session. Although i was just an accessor, i learnt from the mistakes in the inner circle. Most of their points did not link back to the main topic or back to the question. I believe that the next CA session, we should all be more prepared by linking points of article back to the main point. We should also be more organised as the session was quite messy. We should be attentive to others as they speak as i realise some of those in the inner circle did not respect others and cut in while they were speaking. By doing so, this would lower their grade. Lastly, we should always try our best and try to score as much as possible.

LA test

11/02/10
My english test is coming soon, which would be a composition.Today, Mr Teo gave us tips on a composition. In the first paragraph, there must be an expostion which consists of place, time, character and the vivid size,looks and emotion. In the 2nd paragraph, there would be a complication which would leave to tension. In the 3rd paragraph, the tension would peak to a confrontation. In the 4th paragraph, it would say how things are resolved. We are to note not to end with the cliff hanging. In addition, we must also not use short forms, contractions, slang and vulgarities in our composition. Mr Teo also gave us the assessment for the composition, which helped us to note about certain points and what we must do in order to score for a certain band. I hope that i can score well for this coming language arts test.

Our first Essay

03/02/10
Today, I have finally written the first essay. The essay is about the story of Flowers For Algernon(FFA). We needed to apply the PEE which was stated in the previous blog post. Writing the essay was quite tough and i needed help from Mr Teo sometimes. Some time later, Mr Teo gave us back our essay. He gave us lots of comments and how we could improve on our essays. I am intending to rewrite my essay and have done so. I got a C+ for this essay. We also paired up with our buddy beforehand and gave each others comments on the essay. This lesson was very interesting as it has taught me on how to write an essay in the right way and it also prepared us for the future essays.

Essay Writing

02/02/10
Today, Mr Teo taught us on essay writing. We would be learning how to do expository writing now. In the expository writing, there must be a introduction,body and finally a conclusion. In the introduction, there must be a "grabber" which capture a reader's attention. It must also set the context which is who,what,when,why,where and finally how. It must also consist of the thesis, which states the main point of essay. In the body, there should be three paragraphs, which ought to consist of 1 point in each paragraph. In each paragraph, we should always P(point) E(elaborate) and E(example). Lastly, the conclusion must consist of the restatement of thesis and the statement that encourages furthur talk on the issue. Mr Teo also gave us a sample five paragraph essay. He told us about two types of essay, which are the argumentative essay, which argues about the point of view and expository essay which presents points to readers.
