9/10 reflection blog

 Today, we learned about Google sites. I heard that creating a website was easy, and I was very surprised when I tried to make my own website that it was so simple, but at the same time, looked very professional.

Showing a website that I made myself at the end of the presentation really shows that we are putting the effort into the project. Putting a QR code of our website in the slideshow might be a good idea too, because the audience doesn't usually have time to type in the link. If we use QR codes, the audience just have to scan the code using their smartphones. Also, this school's website is very hard to view on smartphones. Perhaps, if we had used Google sites, it could be a much better website. Furthermore, I was very impressed by how much Google is contributing to the dissemination of education combined with technology.

We also learned about infographics. I didn't know the word "infographic" but I've seen infographics in many places. Infographics have illustrations that draws that audience's attention.  It's like a summary so the audience can easily understand the overall image. After looking at some infographics, I thought that websites should be like infographics/presentations.  This means having more visual information and readable paragraphs so that the viewer doesn't get tired of reading all the words on the website.

5/5 the Hobbit chapter 14

Chapter 14 - Fire And Water When the dwarves were in the hall looking at the mountain of treasures, Smaug was heading to Lake Town to take revenge on the people. The people of Lake Town first thought that flaming Smaug was gold flowing the river, but Bard, a grim-voiced, grim-faced but courageous man soon realize that it was Smaug, and prepared for an attack. Smaug destroyed the only bridge that connected land and Lake Town and breathed fire on all the houses. He enjoyed the destruction. The men's arrows had no effect on Smaug's hard scales. The people in Lake Town was overpowered.  Many people fled to the shore to save their lives. The master of Lake-Town was very selfish since he abandoned the town earlier than most of the citizens. Bard stayed at Lake Town to fight against the dragon until the last moment. Then suddenly, a thrush landed on his shoulders and tells him Smaug's weakness. The thrush was listening to Bilbo on the mountain and came to Bard to tell him the ...

5/6 The Hobbit chapter 19

Chapter 19 - The Last Stage Bilbo was now at Rivendell.  He had not been home for over a year.  At Riverdell, he and Gandalf rested and told their stories to Elrond. Then Gandalf confesses where he had been when he was not with the dwarves. He was at the great council of the white wizards who had driven the Necromancer from Mirkwood. The Necromancer was actually Sauron, the evil lord that appears in "the Lord of the Rings" as the main antagonist. Then they left Rivendell. They went past the river where they were captured by three trolls and dug up the box of treasure they took from the trolls. Bilbo was surprised when he got back to his hobbit-hole. Bilbo was presumed dead, and his belongings were being sold at an auction. He stops the auction and gets his things back from other people, but he lost his reputation as a good hobbit. They thought Bilbo was queer, even when he told his stories to other people but they are suspicious about it. However, he didn't care becau...

5/6 The Hobbit chapter 18

Chapter 18 - The Return Journey When Bilbo became conscious again, he noticed that he was alone. He also noticed that his side has won the battle. A man came to the hill to find Bilbo, so Bilbo took off his ring and went to the camp where the people were waiting. Gandalf was happy to see Bilbo alive because Gandalf was worried that Bilbo was dead. However, there was bad news too; Thorin had a fatal injury and was dying. Thorin gave his last words to Bilbo. He said he will give some treasure to Bilbo and take back the words he had said to Bilbo. Of course, Bilbo told Thorin he wasn't angry at Thorin. Then Thorin said, "If more of us valued food and cheer and songs above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world" and passed away. Bilbo turned away and wept; he had a kind soul. In Thorin's tomb, Bard laid the Arkenstone and the Elven-king laid Orcrist, the elvish sword. Other news were told to Bilbo too. When Bilbo was unconscious, the Eagles attacked the goblins, ca...
