HISTORY COMMONTEST WHEEHEE!

HI I SHALL COPY YEXIN AND POST ABOUT HISTORY COS IT HELPS ME STUDY TOO.
basically, it's only SBQ so it should be okay. there's part a, b, c and d and 4 sources on unit 2.

so qns a and b are inference questions, where we have to write Inference, Quote and Explanation. two IQEs for each question.

qns c is a comparison question. we either write two similarities and 1 difference or 1 similarity and 2 differences (according to mr chai) difference has to contain a common element, inference a, quotation a, explanation a and inference b, quotation b and explanation b.

qns d is an evaluative question. it goes like that: Source(s) _____ say that ________ (give Q and E) and Source(S) ____ do not say that ______ (give Q and E)

yup that's about it goodbye have fun revising ;D

History format Ct1

hi peas:)

Jia you for Hist and the rest of the ct1s. Long time neva post !

Im kinda confused for history the format so if i type anything wrong pls tell me. This is wat i copied down!Thanks:)


So the format for questions

· A and B - 2 IQE for each question.

· C - 1 similarity and 2 diff or 2similarity and 1 diff

- Similarity is Common element (CE) , quote for a, explanation for a, quote for b, explanation for b

- Difference is CE , inference for a ,quote for a, explanation for a, inference for b, quote for b, explanation for b

· D - is agree wif the question is CE ,quote for a ,explain a, quote b, explain b

Don’t agree wif question is CE, quote for a, explain a, quote b, explain b

Only need to revise chapter two.

What is Figurative Language?

Whenever you describe something by comparing it with something else,
you are using figurative language.


Simile

A simile uses the words “like” or “as”
to compare one object or idea with another to suggest they are alike.
Example: busy as a bee


Metaphor

The metaphor states a fact or draws a verbal picture by the use of comparison.
A simile would say you are like something; a metaphor is more positive - it says you are something.
Example: You are what you eat.


Personification

A figure of speech in which human characteristics are given
to an animal or an object. Example: My teddy bear gave me a hug.


Alliteration

The repetition of the same initial letter, sound, or group of sounds in a series of words.
Alliteration includes tongue twisters. Example: She sells seashells by the seashore.


Onomatopoeia

The use of a word to describe or imitate a natural sound or the sound
made by an object or an action. Example: snap crackle pop


Hyperbole

An exaggeration that is so dramatic that no one would believe the statement is true.
Tall tales are hyperboles.
Example: He was so hungry, he ate that whole cornfield for lunch, stalks and all.


Idioms

According to Webster's Dictionary, an idiom is defined as: peculiar to itself
either grammatically (as no, it wasn't me) or in having a meaning
that cannot be derived from the conjoined meanings of its elements
(as Monday week for "the Monday a week after next Monday")


Clichés

A cliché is an expression that has been used so often that it has become trite
and sometimes boring. Example: Many hands make light work.

HOW TO ACE ENGLISH NARRATIVE! according to ms diana.

Narrative Writing Tips:

-Narratives are written to entertain. (engaging, have an impact or reader)
-Must be focused. (1 conflict, 1 climax)
-A few central characters, a few settings.
-Always think "What's the point of adding this to the story?" before writing.

How to get an 'A'
  • Is your language accurate?
  • Check that your tenses are consistent
  • Cancel out redundant words
  • Sentence structure (avoid run on sentences and sentence fragments (incomplete))
  • A complete sentence must have a subject & verb
  • Use a semi-colon/conjunction/separate sentences instead of run on sentence
Vocab
  • Wide and precise
  • Show not tell (don't show too much if it's not relevant)
  • Quality not Quantity
  • When using descriptive language, be imaginative and original.
Avoid:
  • Weak comparisons
  • Don't be too literal
  • Mismatched tone
Punctuation
In dialogue:
  • "I love you very much," he whispered.
  • He replied, "Well, I'm not gay."
  • "How could you?!" He bellowed.
  • "Do you think you could shut up?" He asked.
  • "If you studied hard, you would turn gay too," he continued, "and we could be together."
Spelling
  • No bullet points. This is ironic, cuz there are no points and i'm writing this point. What's even more ironic is i'm spelling because as cuz when under the point Spelling. Wow. Mind blown.
Paragraphing
  • Every paragraph should serve a purpose.
  • They show transitions from settings or time frames. (for narratives)
  • New paragraph to create impact/Turn of events.
Story
  • Relevant, interesting
  • Take five minutes to plan
Avoid:
  • Chunks of 'factual' paragraphs [Ackhem, Renee. who lifted almost everything about Singapore's ndependence and plonked it in her essay.]
Instead:
  • Use movement, varied sentence structure, action and some dialogue.
Story flow
  • Orientation (Hook your reader, mind you it's not pole dancing)
  • Conflict/Complication :Leave them wondering, suspense
  • Climax: "WOW" them! (it's not pole dancing again)
  • Resolution: Leave your readers satisfied with a final outcome. End with impact/moral to the story but don't make it too stiff.
Word limit (350-500). Advised to keep to the word limit.

Typed of Conflict
  • Person vs. Self
  • Person vs. Person
  • Person vs. Society
  • Person vs. Machine/Technology [TERMINATOR]
  • Person vs. Nature [I. KILL. FLOWERRRRRRR]
  • Person vs. Donkey. or Shrek. or Princess Fiona. I WANNA WATCH SHREK!
Okay that's about it, if you don't ace your test, don't blame lois and I. It's Ms Diana's fault.
WHOOO ENGLISH ENDED. BYEBYE MISS DIANANAANANANANA
PS: Lois was the one who kept talking bout pole dancing.

The Pea.

A pea is most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the legume Pisum sativum.[1] Each pod contains several peas. Peapods are botanically a fruit,[2] since they contain seeds developed from the ovary of a (pea) flower. However, peas are considered to be a vegetable in cooking. The name is also used to describe other edible seeds from the Fabaceae such as the pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), and the seeds from several species of Lathyrus.

P. sativum is an annual plant, with a life cycle of one year. It is a cool season crop grown in many parts of the world; planting can take place from winter through to early summer depending on location. The average pea weighs between 0.1 and 0.36 grams.[3] The species is used as a vegetable, fresh, frozen or canned, and is also grown to produce dry peas like the split pea. These varieties are typically called field peas.

The wild pea is restricted to the Mediterranean basin and the Near East. The earliest archaeological finds of peas come from Neolithic Syria, Turkey and Jordan. In Egypt, early finds date from ca. 4800–4400 BC in the Nile delta area, and from ca. 3800–3600 BC in Upper Egypt. The pea was also present inGeorgia in the 5th millennium BC. Farther east, the finds are younger. Peas were present in Afghanistan ca. 2000 BC, in Harappa, Pakistan, and in northwest India in 2250–1750 BC. In the second half of the 2nd millennium BC this pulse crop appears in the Gangetic basin and southern India.[4]

heyhey2p, hope you enjoyed the first edition of er boredom in chinese class(: anyway, here's the class tee like the front and back. sorry it's 2 different t-shirts, heh. but just look at the design. click to enlarge! oh btw i love aliensssssssso cute right i know!

chinese lesson boredom.

Helllo 2P! Welcome to this edition of boredom in chinese class. Starrrring Lois and Dharnia!!!:D nehnehnipoopoo. Right now, we're observing the rare creatures named the Peasofpee. This is a rare species of animals. From our observation, the tribe leader is an annoying banana. she speaks only in mandrin and fires her words out at a shocking speed. As we look in the ten o'clock direction, we notice the village blurdo. IT is a weird sotong creature and is usually unaware of it's surroundings(mainly people mocking her). IT'S name is Yethexin. sound's mystical? but it is actually not that MAGICAL. it's basically a facebook liking creep. and likes almost anything. IN the 9 o'clock direction, we notice a poopootrombo, this talented creature makes the sound of a low boooooooootrombone. next to the poopootrombo, is a kpoperoo. this is another skilled creature, it can sing and loves kpop. as long as you play kpop music, it will remain calm. OHNO! THE ANNOYING BANANA IS APPROACHING. STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT EDITION OF BOREDOM IN CHINESE CLASS.

With love from the jungle,
LOIS AND DHARNIA. MUAHAHAHHAHAHAH.
