Incredible Panda!



My latest movie was "Ironman" and there was no doubt to say it is pretty awesome. Today I could be come to find the another most interesting movie and laugh all the time without any hesitation, any thoughts, and any worries watching this big funny (powerful, yeah in sort of~) Panda and his friends. I feel like I'm going to write a kind of review thing... of course when I get ready to do it. ;) Anyhow, look at it! Isn't it awesome, huh? I promise you it's more gorgeous than ever you imagine, to watch it on huge screen of moview complex with 3D sound.

Self-Acess Reading Resources for L2 readers

Purpose: to faciliate good self-accessible reading materials to present/future students for the purpose of

  • providing the supplement materials of a textbook (for more intensive and extensive reading)
  • adding or activating the schemata of the readers (for extensive reading)
  • having the students choose what they like to read on their own interest, proficiency and other needs
  • having them exposed to authentic texts with authentic audiences and authentic purposes

I named this project Reader's Hill which expresses the process of reading and joy of reading itself.

Here, visit the project web page >> Reader's Hill
or just click the button above "Reader's Hill"

1. Target: High school 2nd Kyohaksa.

2. Purpose: This Self-Access Reading Resources(SARR) would be used as supplementary texts by all the different-level students in my class. Add more, they can interact freely through the web-board and its comment function so that no other gorup or student would be never isolated from each other. In the very first step, as I've been making as the "assignment" of Prof. Kim, of course it is impossible to make it with full body at one time. For that reason, I just collected some rather difficult passages and placed them for higher-level students.

3. Collection plot: There are 12 categories and each category represents the lesson topic on the textbook. Number of items in each category vary from one or two to six or more.


4. Categorization: topic-based

Unbelievable!

I've never seen this guy behaves so. When I first saw this crazy clip, I just thought it might be a celeb-like person who imitates like Tom. How could I imagine "TOM CRUISE" the geek!

News feeds

As a sweet fruit of hard endeavour, I introduce this wonderful widget.
Springwidgets offers a lot of useful widgets. Among various items, this RSS Readers meets my needs. It allows bloggers to read all the different rss feeds at one frame. Since I've wanted to integrated some news feeds on my blog, it consisted of ABC top news, CNN world news, The Economist lattest news, and The Times top stories.
I hope all you guys be pleased with reading these news on my blog.

Impulsive big-big remodeling

Indeed, I should have gone to bed right after coming back home.
...
I changed my blog template "finally." For that job, I have repeated loosing all the items and making them again until now(damn.)

Now I don't know what to say and just want anyone to be able to understand me, to see what I've done, to tell me what I'm doing(still now...), and why the hell did I start it!(damn again)

The thing among these terrible things is that,
I got the "widget" that I've been looking foward to having it so eagerly.
