My thoughts on Week 4 lessons

Last week, Mr Lundberg was on a one week's leave. So, he gave us some assignments to complete. I managed to complete all on time, but some of my classmates were not able to finish all, due to other commitments.

We were supposed to select assignments, according to our learning styles, after which we had to post them in our blogs. I attempted these learning styles: Linguistic, Musical, Naturalist and Intrapersonal. Even though some of them are not my top learning styles, I decided to select them, as I wanted to try something different.

Out of all chosen, I felt that "Musical" is very fun. Why? I had to look through many websites to find a good ambient music that suit the first five chapters of "Village by The Sea". There were not many good websites to choose the music from, and thus after finding the perfect song, I heaved a sigh of relief. I am glad my music background helps to some extent. Now, I understand why my mum constantly nags at me to practise my piano pieces. :)

It was not easy to find concise recipes of chapati and jalebi. Most websites provided too long a recipe. I had to figure out the differences of the different food, based on what I gathered from the recipes.

Overall, I enjoyed the online class assignments as it was refreshing. Instead of sitting in a classroom, we had the opportunity to explore different websites for information. I hope that there will be more online class assignments in the future. Maybe, Mr Lundberg can let us "auto-pilot" more often!
