The Second Week: Importance of Communication

"The Art of Speaking"


Communication dates back in the pre-historic times. Where people used actions instead of words to share their ideas. To help develop a community, together. Nowadays, talking is a weapon. People may say that "Stick and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me", they can. Its an invisible crime that happens all the time anywhere and everywhere. Talking is so powerful that it changes someones perspective in life in mere seconds. Before you say something, think about it twice. It may be a small thing to you, but once you gather all those small things, it becomes a big problem.

The Garden of Communication


There are many different types of communication. Each of them falls under communication but differs in how they spread information. A particular type of communication I learned in school is the Grapevine Communication. Basically it is an unorganized and unofficial channel of communication in an organization. The Grapevine has four sub types

The Wheel
In this type of grapevine, one person is predominant. He transmits information to different persons or groups.
The Cluster
It has a several groups of people linked together by a cluster or chain of communication.
The Chain
The most common pattern in which information passes through a series of people linked together in the organization
Free Flow
Most rumors or idle gossip spread through a haphazard network, which includes a number of people who are not necessarily linked by any organization thread.

Similarities and Differences

Now here, we determined what are the differences and similarities of Media Literacy and Information Literacy. We were given the time to research about these two and made an output in a form of a Venn Diagram. Here you can clearly see what differences and similarities they have.







The Play on Words

We used our output from the last activity to compile the information and made a presentation out of it. We chose the spoken poetry presentation. Here we explained the overall similarities and differences of the two. A simple, but effective way of summarizing everything.

The End

Another week, another blog. I hope you enjoyed this one. See you next week!

The Eight Week: Exam

Image
"Examination" A school year in Grade 12 consists of Two Semesters. Each semester has Two Quarters. And every quarter, has a quarterly examination to determine if we really did learn something. And this is very important and should be taken seriously because, 30% of the grades come from here. And its what parents usually look at to see if you are doing good in school. What I hate is that, parents think that when you fail at the exam, you fail at school. Well this is partly true, but examination isn't the only factor in getting grades. There's also quizzes, seatworks, homeworks, and reciation. All of these contribute to one whole grade. But instances happen that, a failed examination pulls down your overall grade. So its really important to take these exams seriously. But its also not all where grades come from. The End Here ends this weeks blog. I just hope my exam results are good. See you next week!

The Fifth Week: Freedom

Image
"To Say or Not To Say. That is the Question." News are the main source of information that us people rely on. It is important to know what events are taking place at the right place at the right time. For without these information, we will be left behind living in the past. But, how reliable are these news? And why does it seem like news these days are so similar and always have the same topic of discussion? Debate Last week, we were asked to debate on a topic whether news should be free. If all news should be released to the public whether it is important or not.  So we did our research, and had some mixed results. But for me personally, I prefer news having freedom in what they will say and do. Sure it may be chaotic and unorganized but, these are whats happening today. These are the things that are happening that we are not aware of because news is so controlled. So with that, having free news is really an important thing that we need. To be aware of our...

The Ninth Week: Camera Angles

Image
"Cameras" Years ago, people just invented the very first camera. Its as big as a house that can capture an image of a time when life was happy. That was the first step for humanity to look at things in a different perspective. Technology has advanced throughout the years, making improvements for the camera. Nowadays, cameras are found everywhere. And when I say everywhere, I mean EVERYWHERE. They are on your phone, laptop, even drones. Yet, people dont really know how to use these things. All they know is just point the camera, and shoot. But theres more to it, and once you learn these tricks, you are one step closer in seeing life in a different perspective. Camera Angles In school, we learned about camera angles. Each angle makes the shot more better and emphasizes which character or object we should focus on. Here are some examples of camera angles. Wide Shot typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some rel...
