1/20 Reflection

Today we were introduced to Zotero. I felt like Zotero will make the citing in our essays easier. This is because in our essays there are many ways to cite the sources we used but by using this app it would allow us to cite them in ease. He told to download the app but I didn't know how to with a Chromebook.

 In today's class, we did a creativity activity, where you try to build the highest stool for a marshmallow made from spaghetti. Our group came in 2nd with an hourglass-shaped tower. After doing the activity, we were shown research done by several people showing that younger kids were more successful in the challenge. Business people or people who major in business seemed to have the most trouble in building the tower. In addition, when there is a prize to be fought for, I learned that more people would fail. We also learned that from Mr. Paterson's experience, Japanese people had the most trouble making a standing tower.  One interesting thing about this activity is that it trains more than just creativity. I have done this experiment in elementary school but was done with the purpose of team building. The goal was to be able to communicate with fellow classmates and not, to think outside of the box. Therefore, it was interesting when we were told that we were allowed to ask ...

 Today in class we talked about the Propaganda Matriz and the 5 filters. I learned that there were several factors that companies required when releasing an article on a topic. The one that stood out to me was the first component, where the ownership of the company would greatly influence the stories that the press would release. This is because I felt that the people who should be the most honest in releasing reliable information to the public were being swayed by the choices of one or few people. The third and fourth components were also ones that were really important. The reason why I thought so was that Mr. Paterson told us that they were more prominent in Japan. Things like the Kisha Club and Dentsu information made me skeptical of Japanese new organizations. I would like to find out how these networks are linked with each other and be able to take in more information from different companies to gain a more wide perspective on a certain topic.  Today's notes  Noam C...

 Chapter 11      Chapter 11 is about the second eldest daughter, Lady Margaret Sutton. She had gone to Paris to learn fashion before the war and chose to not come back to England at the start of the war because she fell in love with a French man and wanted to be with her. The chapter starts off in her room when she gets abducted into german captivity where she is introduced to Madame Armande who was also a captured English woman who was allowed to live over a deal to care for other prisoners like Margaret.      Thoughts:      We are again introduced to another character and with the minimal introduction, we are able to know what kind of person she is.  Chapter 12-14  In these chapters, Pamela and Ben finally meet Jeremy after a long time, and after the two talk to each other Ben says that he would leave and let the two talk. While the two talk, Ben goes to his father's room to borrow a map of the place to set a route to scout t...
