12th Learning Reflection

We studied Definition and Classification.

Definition is a statement that explains the meaning of a word or phrase.

Classification  is the act or process of dividing things into groups according to their type.

Example :

Phonetics is the study of the speech sounds used in human languages.

        Here a technical term is defined by the words that follow a from of the verb to be

Matter is defined as anything that occupies space and has weight.

Here a technical term is defined after the verb phrase is defined as…

Furthermore,  we also learned definition and classification markers.  And found the definition markers, the technical terms and the definitions from skill practice 1-3.

We read the texts about “What is Anthropology?” and “Species of Whales”

We knew anthropology is the study of man. There are 2 type : physical anthropology and cultural anthropology. We divided and completed the diagram. 

.........................................

Text 2 : Species of Whales, we found discourse markers, main idea and classified species. There are 2 species of whales : toothed and baleen.

I think, text 1-2 are easy  because their used vocabulary that I can understand.

Skill practice 1-2 are difficult for me. I can not find discourse markers.

For this reason, I  consulted my friends.

I feel good with this lesson. I like atmosphere in my classroom.
