SAFTEY IN NUMBERS

TODAY A STUDENT BECAME A MASTER

 Today I listened to my peer, Zoe Ward. Her key interests are Korean language, Korean desserts. anime and drama, screen writing, Korean culture and language. Zoe learned about new recipes, tips and advice for creating Korean food. The weakest source Zoe found was Disney. Although Zoe grew up to love Disney she just wasn't feeling it. Zoe's strongest sources were CNN, a trusted T.V company Zoe trusts. She also concluded that Rakuten Viki was a strong source because she is familiar with it and has been using the website for a while now. Lastly, Zoe concluded that Webtoon was also a website she confides in because of the comments and rating people have left on both their app and website.

FINAL MASTERPIECE RESEARCH PHASE ONE

 I am fascinated by the human behavior. The way people respond to certain situations and possibilities as to why they respond to these certain situations.

Here's what I found:

http://sciencenetlinks.com/lessons/lying/

This is a lesson on a specific topic, lying. As soon as I found this page I wanted to know more about it. Lying is a great example of how humans respond to certain situations by lying and why they lie. I find this source reliable because this source is based of science books on psychology of lying. These books include, Charles V Ford's Lies! Lies! Lies!: The Psychology of Deceit and Alder Vrij's Detecting Lies and Deceit: The Psychology of Lying and the Implications for Professional Practice (John Wiely and Sons, 2000) I find these books credible because of these people's relationship and practice to psychology. 

https://www.apa.org/ed/precollege/topss/lessons/psychological-disorders.pdf

One of the big topics in human behavior are disorders. They are such an important topic because of high high disorders cases have gone from 2011. They talk about what exactly is a disorder and how it affects people. They also talk/compare cases from back then and how taught us a thing or two about it. I find this source reliable because it was a free unit lesson plan specifally for highschool psychology teachers. I think this fits so perfectly with me and I learned a lot from it. 

https://www.apa.org/ed/precollege/topss/lessons/stress-health.pdf

Stress plays a big factor in many people's life and it can damage our mental health. This relates to human behavior because it talks about how people stress, and what that can look like. It teaches us how to cope with it and how we can help others whether that be just listening to them and know what to say to prevent them from feeling bad about stressing. I find this source credible because instead of saying dot com at the end it says org dot com. It's different and I can see that it is an organization and it is published by a group. It also is an free unit lesson plan for high school teachers who teach psychology. 

https://www.apa.org/ed/precollege/topss/lessons/memory.pdf

    I have a photographic memory. It's one of the things that makes unique and I like to be proud of that and am interested about memories and why some people have better memories than others. It states this unit helps students understand encoding of memory, storage memory, and retrieval of the memory. It gives you the deal on memory and all the information there is to know about memory. This relates to the human behavior because memory can affect the way we see people and how we respond to them because of certain memories we've kept. 

https://ed.ted.com/lessons/what-causes-headaches-dan-kwartler

    When I first saw What Causes Headaches? I knew I had to watch the video. This connects both my key instrests of, psyhcology and nutrition. Psychology is how we feel, human behavior is connected to headaches because it can affect how we respond to people and it can makes us feel like we don't want to talk to anybody at the moment. Nutrition is connected to headaches because it's what we (don't) eat/drink that causes headaches and how nutrition can play a big role in causing headaches or avoiding them. This source is credible because everyone knows about TedEd. I may not know the speaker nor what he does (Dan Kwartler) but I know TedEd has bought some professional speakers to speak such as Dr. Preston, himself.

https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-sugar-affects-the-brain-nicole-avena

    This video is another Ted talk and it talks about sugar and the impact it might have on you. I've always been fasincated by the side affects to sugar. I love sugar but I want to know the side-affects to eating this delicous creation and want to be informed so i can provide information with the people I love so I can then inform them. By learning how sugar might affect the brain we can see that this relates to both my nutrioton and human behavior key intrest. The speaker, Nichole Avena is an author, a research neuroscientist and a pioneer in the field of food addiction. Avena has pusblished many books talking about obesity, what to eat when you are pregnant or have a baby and what to feed the baby or toddler. 

THREE JOURNALS

 Today is Earth day. It is important we take care of the earth because without it we'd be probably dead. I think it's time we give back. Simple ways we can all take care of mother earth are by, using less plastic. This includes, bags, paper plates, canned fruit, and straws. It's time we throw trash in the trash can and recycle things that should be recycled. We can pick up the trash we see around us. For instance, I like to pick up the trash outside my house and do my neighbor a favor by picking up their trash and so on.

I'M WORTH IT

 I am worth investing in because I know I can do so many things, and I have true potential. I work hard for what I want and what I want is to become a more smarter, wiser, creative person.

ITS BEST TO GIVE AND RECIEVE

 Today I helped someone with their masterpiece by giving them examples of masterpieces Dr. Preston would like to see and ones to stay out, such as PowerPoint and slides. I thought about my masterpiece and I have a good idea on what I would like to do and how I would like to present it.

THREE JOURNALS

    "Water water every here and not a drop to drink" What I think this means is although we are being surrounded by something we cannot benefit from it, so its basically worthless. This relates to sacristy because you can't drink the water that is all around you no matter how thirsty you may be. This relates to abundance because the ocean is enormous. It's everywhere when you are stuck in the middle of the ocean. It goes on for miles and miles and its all water you cannot drink because it is toxic to your body and can kill you. 

CURIOSITY BRINGS THIS CAT TO LIFE

     I chose the Scholatstic article about curiosity because it was familiar. Curiosity is an asset because it helps keep the learner motivated and interested. There's that feeling of freedom when we are kept curious, and it makes learning a lot more fun. Curiosity is an asset because it helps keep our minds more active and it becomes stronger. Three ways we can build our own capacity for curiosity is by asking questions no matter how stupid they may seem. We need to embrace our doubts about the things we need to know. We also need to open to trying new things out to build our capacity for curiosity. A way we can improve Open Source Learning Academy to support curiosity is to have more teamwork, more breakout room time. Curiosity is so critical to achieve success without feeling drained at the end of the year but rather feel proud and joyful.

MY TOPICS CHOSEN FOR SCIENCE

 As I scrolled through Unit 1: Matter and Energy in Living Systems I realized I knew a lot about science, but there were a few topics that interested and I would like to study more, such as, The Language of Chemistry, Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration.

THREE JOURNALS

I love relaxing, its one of the most beautifulness feelings in the world, but not all of us have the same likes for relaxing. I love going to the beach at sunset, but not that we are quarantined I like to play audio in the background and pretend I am at the beach with a fan on. I also like to sleep. When we sleep we aren't worrying about problems, or stressing, we forgot all the chaos in the world and get some peace, and if I'm lucky I might go on a adventure by dreaming.

 The reason I believe some people like riddles, and challenge is because the see the bright side of things. I love challenging my mind for it to be able to grow. I also have a lot of patience. Unlike others who have very little patience and get stressed easily who might  not like riddles nor challenges.

You alone are enough. All you need in life is a safe environment with a roof over your head, food, water and yourself. One could see the world as a struggle to survive and be completely grateful for what they have therefore making that person happy. I believe its all about being grateful, not having jealousy over what other people have can make you happy. A wealthy person can have all the money in the world but not be satisfied because they aren't grateful for what they have.
