I feel that the Home Learning Lesson was very fun and enriching. I got to use comic strips to express my thoughts on a subject. I believe this is a good way to let one express their thoughts and viewpoints, as I have no limits on what I would want to do.
From this experience, I learnt to use comic strips softwares to create my own comics, something that I have never done before. I enjoyed myself greatly doing this comic strips and I would definitely do it again in the future.

Comic Strip Description.
1. I chose the background pictures with a lot of sceneries as it would attract curious children to ask questions about the surrounding. This emphasizes on the theme of the story - Curiosity.
2. The pictures allows the reader to understand what is in a child's minds when they ask questions. For example, seeing a tree, a child would ask questions about it on its appearance, texture etc.
3. In the comic strip, the questions that the boy asks are mainly how what the object is. This shows that children are usually very curious when they see something that they have never seen before. This gives further emphasis on the theme, Curiousity.

Learning Goals 2011
My learning goals for Language Arts in 2011 is to be able to understand " To Kill a Mockingbird" in details and truly get a grasp of the meaning behind the story. Currently, I am not really able to understand the full story and hope to learn to analyse this story in depth. Also, I am aiming to do well in comprehensions and poetry and those were my weak points last year. This can hopefully enable me to score better in my examinations.

LA-ACE
Question 1 :
There was once when I tried to be friends with a group of boys my age but I just felt outcasted. I tried to engage with their activities but they just did not seem to notice and I felt quite hurt. Nevertheless, I continued with my efforts but to no avail. After more than 2 weeks, my neighbour, Paul, introduced me to another group of friends and immediately I got along with these friends. At the point, I told myself that I need not stay with friend who ignore you no matter how cool or awesome they may be but rather stay with true friends who acknowledge you no matter how boring they may be.

Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley
A song that has had a strong impact on me is Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. I like this song as it has meaningful lyrics that express the perseverance of the singer. The lyrics are below:
Ooh ooh
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but
You're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but
You're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Most Valuable Thing Learnt Last Year
The most valuable thing I have learnt in Language Arts last year was the skill in analysis in poems. This skill thought me how to read beyond the lines in poems and read what the poet's true feeling were. I find this skill very beneficial as it this usefulness is not only confined to reading poems and I can also use it to analyse story books, newspaper clippings and many more.
