Nouns

In this semester 2, we learn about Part of Speech and some part of them that we've learn is Nouns. We search about what nouns is and the part of nouns. One by one we search about it and give the example in our Google Mail.  The next step is we search the pictures of the parts of the nouns in Flickr by using creative commons and we put into the Google Mail. Also we must put our name, images by, and we put the tittle of the picture that was related into the topic.

Grammar

1.) What have you learn about Part of Speech, Nouns, and Adjectives so far?
2.) What do you think about Brain Pop?
3.) What do you think about using Google Docs to create documents together?
4.) How can we make this more exciting or interesting? How would you teach grammar?

1.) I have learn many things that I don't really sure about it, like concrete nouns. Now I can understand all the parts of speech.

2.) I think Brain Pop is a good to learned it because, it's important to now the grammar also the parts of speech. But I think the video not really good because, it's too boring and the good is the quiz.

3.) I think using Google Docs and shared it the documents together  is not good enough because, when we working they can delete our work or changed it. But in other position it's good to do, so we can shared the information that we know to the other that maybe don't know before.

4.) We can make like a quiz, comic book, or can be a pop up book that shows the pictures of the examples of Parts of Speech. I would teach the grammar using quiz or pop up book.

Curious

I was curious that why Indonesia was still not comfortable, clean, and safe. There are very many in our cities like Jakarta, which some of the most big cities that were still not safe by a theft, murder, kidnapping children, and the most severe when it is bribery money or could be called Corruptor. There are still many towns attacked by the disease dengue fever, is caused by a number of the garbage that stacked up until it's decompose. It cause of us to, that wasn't think the garbage that stacked up still useful. Example: Use it for fertilizer, recycle bag, or anything that could be useful for us and for our environment too. Now many news from newspapers or television came, and that's all about flood, and it's cause of the rubbish that was too many and everywhere like in the river or in the drain.

I was curious about this topic because, I want to know when Indonesia can be a better to our environment and us. I want Indonesia can be more comfortable, clean, and safety. I know we can do it, but we just too lazy to do it. It's just a little bit hard to do because, many peoples will do the same thing that they do it for the last time.

Emotive Language

In ESL class we started to learn about emotive language. We started to learn about emotive language, because we need to know our express by using the images and different words of emotive language and we must know the meanings of emotive words. We used a thesaurus to find different words. In thesaurus, also we learned new vocabulary words, which we don’t understand yet. Next we learned how to make a Google mail and make our first document, and put the emotive language in our document.
Also we learned about creative commons + copyright, because we must know the pictures that could or couldn’t taken in Flickr by our self to make the emotive words to had the picture. The next steps we must found the emotive words images by using creative commons in Flickr, and edited, combined the words, and design the emotive pictures by using Picnik website.
We must put the link of creative commons images that we take it, in our emotive language Google documentary. After we finished put the link we make second document for emotive images using our design by Picnik. Also we must to print it out to be a class display of emotive language.
Last one we write our reflection about the process in the class and put in our blog.

Traffic Jam

  Jakarta is the  biggest and dirtiest city in Indonesia. Filled with fuming traffic, and burning pollution. When you in Jakarta it is rarely you see a smooth traffic. Congested and traffic everywhere. There are 6 million vehicles in Jakarta, and the number is growing everyday. Jakarta produced 13,000 tons of Carbon Dioxide, EVERY DAY, and  that’s a very huge amount. There are still too many people using their own private cars.The people in these cars are frustrated and livid. Public Transportation is an effective mode to reduce Air-pollution. Traffic in Jakarta can’t be separated, because the high vehicle by the owner transportation as 9 to 11 percent per year, and this is not supported to the public transportation from development. We will find out the comforts, cleanliness and the most important is safety of each public transportation. There are only 30% of green space in Jakarta, the rest are building, houses and roads.

Reflection On Traffic Jam

In ESL classes this semester 2, we make a poster of the video that we created in English lessons. We can choose a suitable photo for our poster, whether it's from Flickr and use Creative Commons or take photo by our self. We must show the emotive language that can make people excited to see it.

I prefer take a pictures of Mini Metro bus to be my poster. I chose my own pictures because the Bus Metro Mini will be my inspiration to get my emotive language for my poster. It’s showing us that Metro Mini Bus always threw of the gas that can harm us, our environment, and also create a pollution be spread. Including my movie is about public transportation that is; does public transportation in Jakarta is an effective mode to reduce air pollution.

Then we uploaded the picture that we have chosen or token by our self into the website named Bighugelabs. In this website, we can added our title, tagline, and credits. Tagline is important because, in the poster should be words that can attract people's attention, to awaken the people of Jakarta and Indonesia to build more advanced in terms of reducing this increased pollution. The tagline that I chose is, “Massive Vehicles, How can we change?” In this words is saying many vehicles that threw the gas everyday, and how can we change if the pollution came out again and every time, to be not pollution.

My title is Traffic Jam because, I think it’s attract people to know more about Traffic Jam in Jakarta, that can affected to the air pollution and about sickness. I also use emotive language for the poster because; it’s attracted people to be aware of Jakarta now. Credits also important because, in the poster all people must know whom the writers, photography and the editors, and the song.

I hope my poster will attract people to be aware of Jakarta, and can change Jakarta to be better. If I can change Jakarta to be better, first that I’ll do is makes many plants, and I’ll protect the forests from wood tiff that cut it of all day, and not planting anymore.

The part that is easy to me is to take a picture by myself and uploaded the picture to bighugelabs. It’s easy because, I like to take a picture of Jakarta. The part that is hard to me is, to make the tagline that can attract people to know more about Jakarta because; I need to be creative for the words. The words that I’ll make for the information is, Massive Vehicles, Traffic Jam, How can we Change? Because, the information from the documentary is says “As you know that Jakarta is the biggest city in Indonesia and produce 13.000 tons of carbon dioxide, EVERY DAY. And it’s the huge of pollutions.”
