Freechy Night

Days ago we went to a camping trip to FRIM. We camped and did some activities. For our humanities activity we did a Survival activity, which was setting up and getting materials for the Hunger Games. During the activity we chose materials such as twine, flint, and other materials. We had to choose our materials wisely. Our group - Me, Angie, James, Solange and Natasha- wanted flint, twine, first aid kit, mosquito repellant and camping crockery. Luckily we got everything except one. We got soap instead of the twine because the other group got it before us.

I was quite happy about our materials because we got everything but twine. I wasn't happy about not letting us say our strategy. Our strategy was to make traps with branches and climb trees when it flooded. We didn't get to do our performance which was called the HAKA.

The Mysterious Story

I would call the story 'The Black Raffle' because the black box was for doing a raffle and sometimes black means bad or unlucky. The raffle was a very unlucky thing because if you got chosen, you'd have to be killed by getting rocks on your head.

I thought he was going to kill the girl because he said "let's finish it quickly and the mood was quiet and it felt like reading the Hunger Games, the tributes. The


I felt quite dissapointed, but also quite curious about what was happening

I thought it was just a normal story with normal storyline.

I didn't understand what it meant but when I read it again I understand that they were throwing stones at them which meant they were killing her for a sacrifice for the gods to wish them luck

I think it was quite right because they through a stone in her head and I felt quite nervous

I would have need a better explanation about the black box and the raffle

He wanted to make me confused so I would get more interested in it

No title was like a confused me because the title sometimes tell the story, but no author information didn't really matter much

The no ending was quite curious, what will happen to the girl

The mystery paper made me scared, it was like being chose to go to a death camp

The part with the black box concerned me a bit, I don't know why, but it freaked me out

Dominant Learning Profile (DLP)

I learn best when I am relaxed and non- stressed. I sometimes daydream so I learn better when I only am thinking of studying. I am not a auditory learner so seeing people doing examples and I am really bad at auditory learning. I want to sit in the back so I feel quite free. If I am hot I feel stressed so I like to sit in the right back corner with the air conditioner coming to me.

I need to be relaxed and be not thinking of anything. I need to be more creative. I like to sit at the back on the window side because i am a left eye (not wall because I feel that I am kept in a box). So I can feel free and clear my mind.
The strategies that will help me may be looking at the example and working with a intimate. I like to tap or lean, because I am a kinaesthetic learner, but it may disturb the others so I am not sure if this will disturb the others.

I would like my teacher to know that I like to work with a friend mostly and I like to work freely and not feel like if I am trapped in a room. I like to sit in the right back corner because I can hear and see with my left eye. I do not sit in the back to play and even if I do play I play after when I finished my work. I am a left eyed and left eared person and I would like to be on the back. So I would like my teacher to know that I like to sit at the back right or left
