In this unit, we explored about News article, this unit included news article writing and annotation.We have done several activities that improved our news writing skills, which are many, but similar, through those activities, I’ve learned a really important skill, which is an article shouldn’t be written in the first person. Of course, I’ve learned other things.
Over this unit, we did many annotations on some articles, I’ve improved a lot at annotating articles, at first, I was struggling at that, but with over practice through classes and homework, I’ve become a better at annotating news.
The ways that make your annotation better is to categorize your commands and separate commands by colors, use 5Ws+H..etc annotating articles helped me a lot at understanding and analyzing articles, which is based on criterion A.
For the final project, we did news articles writing, we grouped together and combined each person’s article into one newspaper, our topics are focusing on biggest problems in the community that make people anxious, or make parents anxious, such as food quality, cyber addiction,and there are 3 more topics, which is Recycling issue, Littering and water pollution, these three topics are focusing on the environment around our community, which is also problems that people worry about,and my topic is about recycling issue,some people really care, however, my article is for those people who do not care and try to convince them.
This unit is the first unit of the year, if I would grade how I felt over this unit to 10, maybe I would give it a 7 because at first, I was struggling on annotating articles, but then I finally handled the situation. However, Overall, I felt great through this unit, I like those activities we have done, especially news articles writing, in addition, I also really like reading part, we have 10 mins reading time before class every day in which our writing skills and reading could be improved.
