River and Tide

The movie - River and Tide I saw he put  the icicle on the big stone, he do some thing kind of like art, I also saw him though the small stone, he use the wood, and make a small round house, and put it on the river, then the wood round house drift on the river. And I think there is a point- Time. He is try to tell us that" when the tine is over, nothing will left."
What I learn from the movie is the rive and time is really moving, I saw the natural environment is so beautiful, and the natural environment can control us.

The Knight

In the Middle Ages there are wars, King and noble need some stronger soldier, so they will discipline the young boy. Discipline a knight need 14 years, before they become the knight, they have to attend the noble woman.Knights have to learn how to fight and so serve their liege Lord according to the Code of Chivalry.Knight should be brave and fearless in battle but would also exhibit cultured Knightly qualities showing themselves to be devout, loyal, courteous and generous.Knighthood in the Middle Ages was a long and arduous task. Knighthood was not bestowed purely because a young man was the son of a noble. The steps towards achieving a knighthood started with training as a page and then as a squire, also referred to as esquire.The Knights job in the Middle Ages centred around enhancing their Knightly skills in the use of weapons, horsemanship and medieval warfare. The knight in the lowest class in the noble, the often just have a small fief.

Blood rad horse

I think the main character is Will and Gavin. They are brothers. Will like horse very much, he have a small horse, he like the horse, but then, what he really want to ride is a big and good horse. Gavin the oder bather of Will is mean. When Will is trying to write the big horse, then he call people go to watch Will, and laugh at him, Gavin says that Will ride the big horse just like a flea on a dragon. So than Will hate his oder brother Gavin.
I think in the chapter 2, I have the question, why is that a French aristocrat went to England can have the fief? Is
that the French and England are friends at that time ?
I learn that when the king died, then if the king has more than two sons, then his sons are going to fight( not really fight)
for the throne, and people start the decide the side.

China WebQuest reflection

When I was doing the China WebQuest I think I am a Critical thinker and Problem Solver, Active learners. 
I think Critical thinker and Problem Solver means that if you have the problem and you can solve by your self, with out asking anyone of the student or teacher, even your parents, and the main ideas that you think by your self, the things that you going more deeper,example in the China WebQuest, we will answer the questions on the mindmeister, and think more deeper, find the main idea that about China culture. 
I think the Active learner is if you have any question then you will ask, sometimes you want to ask somethings that you want to learn more about, and you always be very active, and you always work hard, and what to get more things from the teacher. Example from China WebQues, I always ask the questions when I am not really sure, and I did ask a lot about the iweb, because that was my first time to use the i-web. I will ask the English problem sometimes, too.
I think this project teaches me a lot about the Chia culture, we do i-web and we solve the problem ourself, and we think is more helpful that we just read the books, because we did that ourself.
