In the previous seminar on the literary quotes of travel, I scored a 6 (a), and a 7 (c). The seminar included questions that were vague, like your interpretation of the quotes. Because there’s 4 pages of quotes, we were talking about very different stuff, which caused the seminar to not be a “discussion” but … Read more
So we had another seminar. I got a A4C6, but the A4 was only earned from the second class. I think I did pretty well on the second class. I did miss connecting points in the first class, though. I could do better if I had connected more points and quotes in the first class. … Read more
Our seminar about travel‑themed literary quotes turned into a philosophical conversation about what travel truly means to human. Looking at how I did in this discussion, I noticed I struggled a bit with analysis (criteria A) at the very beginning. I mostly talked about my own opinions and daily life examples, but I didn’t really … Read more
My score was A4C6. From the seminar I learned that a journey may not necessarily be a physical journey. And journeys can give us more diverse perspectives to help us understand the world and gain more knowledge. I was quite initiative at the first two classes, but I stayed quiet during the last class. I think I should speak more … Read more
Reflection on my own performance: Score: 6 for “speaking”, 8 for “listening” I expressed my thoughts a lot during the seminar, but most of them are not really related to the quotes (only answering the questions the leaders gave us). I think this is why I only got a 6 for my “speaking” part🥲 (you … Read more
Um yeah we had lots of seminars and this one is probably the worst one I’ve had. (Only according to my performance) Firstly, I didn’t have many terms to speak at the start; I was always the last one to speak, and my points were just the same as others’. So I couldn’t get much … Read more
I received a score of 4, 6 out of 8 for this seminar, and I am not entirely satisfied with this result. I recognize that I still have plenty of room for improvement in my overall performance. During this seminar, we mainly discussed Shakespeare’s global influence, as well as the differences between the theatre during … Read more
Our last seminar is the the tear-dropping MYP journey, in which we talk about the growths and improvements our ourselves throughout secondary school. No one cried, of course. Mostly we discussed about what we improved(book reading, movies, depressed, etc.), we also talked about how our teachers, friends, parents, helped us, which is very good because … Read more
in the seminar”when in Rome, do as the Romans do”, we discussed whether to follow certain traditions or actions that the locals do. I gave my opinion that you should not do things that goes with your ethnic stuff and don’t mess with the government. I participated in small conversations between our classmates and tried … Read more
(Note: Before the seminar, my classmates and I created holiday advertisements for different locations. My group made one for Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda. Other groups created an ad for Australia featuring kangaroos on a beach, and another created an ad picturing a soccer tournament. ) After this preparation we started analyzing and criticizing … Read more
The seminar on what makes a good blog post was eye-opening for me as someone who enjoys writing but doesn’t always know how to make posts engaging. The presenters Kitty and Vinci explained the difference between a forgettable post and one that grabs attention– it often comes down to a few key elements that work … Read more
In our fourth seminar, which is about dark tourism and stuff, we talked about a mysterious story about Chernobyl that went viral on the internet. A guy died there, his friend thought it was a graveyard, his other friend thought making it a ghost house was right. During this seminar I think I participated well … Read more
