Second Time of Defense

Last week was so busy week for me, midterms is pass approaching, deadline for the submission of requirements in different subjects, exam on PAAREE ( Phil.Army Advance R.O.T.C. Entrance Examination) is also pass approaching. It was a week of headaches, pressures (well as college student every day I consider it pressured) and full of reminders. It was not an easy week for me since it was also the deadline for the submission of our references for our English 2 (term paper).
During this week also we had our second defend regarding to our topic last week. This time it’s not about the specific topic, claim or thesis it is all about our outline. In this activity we defend our work by the critique “which was the group 2” and as what they have comment to us, we’ve done so many errors in our outline. Our sub topic in our Roman II was incorrect, some of our grammar was wrong and some of the ideas needs more improvement and refinement, but for me their comment was good since I have learn a lot from their critique. I have learn that next time we should make an assignment or any other requirement ahead of time since just like what had happened to us we lack time to make this assignment and to refine or restate our ideas that’s why some of the sentences were wrong grammar.

Our First Defense

Ma'am Lynnie assigned us different topics for us to make a specific topic, specific claim as well as thesis statement out of the topic she gave to us, and the topic that was assigned to us was difficult ( for me I don’t know about the others) since it was all about life of a teenager and I can’t think of any specific topic, claim and thesis statement out of this broad topic but thanks to some of my group mates they contributed their ideas to our group that’s why we made a topic, claim and thesis even though the topic “ life of a teenager” was difficult for us.
During in our oral defense that was time for me to defend our work; I was so nervous since I’m not sure if our work is correct or not. I was so nervous that I couldn’t speak up what was on my mind that will help a lot for us to defend our work and for ma’am Lynnie to approve it.
During our second defense I finally speak up what was on my mind and finally ma’am lynnie approved our specific topic, thesis and claim.
I think I should have more practice on talking in front since as what I have noticed in myself, I easily got nervous every time I’m in front to deliver a speech or to defend in front of my classmates and teacher. I’m so conscious with y grammar that I always think of what if the sentence I have said is wrong grammar. I think I have the confident to speak in front of the people but not that much that I always got nervous if it is my turn to speak up my ideas.

regular blog

Last Wednesday ma’am Lynnie approved my topic and I’m so happy since finally after two times of trying to submit my topic finally she approved it.
Last Friday also we had a very interesting yet very funny activity, funny since many of us aimed for high score but none of the four groups got high score. This activity is on APA and it’s difficult for us to determine the correct format, that’s we got only low score.
