Hello!
Recently sunny days are often but its getting colder... I'm very excited that winter is coming soon but have to be careful not to catch a cold!
Last class we made slides based on the principles of C.R.A.P.
For "Contrast", I was able to make good use of the white background and make the pictures and the text stand out. For "Repetition", I used the same font in all of the slides and also happened to have colorful pictures in most of the slides which made the slides look related to each other. For "Alignment", I wrote only the core points of the slides and make it easy to understand. Finally, for "Proximity", I just wrote few words per slide and made it simple as possible.
Overall, what I thought through making the slides was "Simple is the best."
It was very fun for me to create the slides and think about what to present. Can't wait to make more slides for other presentations too!
Have a nice day:)

Evernote
Hello! Having a nice day so far.
Today I am writing about Evernote and "C.R.A.P."
I learned how to use Evernote at the previous class. At first I thought it was kind of similar to Zotero, but it was completely different! Using Evernote, I can clip some sources visually making it easier and faster to understand about the source. This feature will be useful when I do not have much time to organize the information from the sources or save visual sources like YouTube. Also it will be definitely useful for creating our next essay.
Out of all sorts of functions of Evernote, I especially found the screenshot useful because I can cut out only the part I want from a web page. The part that it is editable is making it even more useful.
Changing the topic to "C.R.A.P.", I am going to describe what this means.
"C" stands for "Contrast". We have to consider the color contrast between the text and the background.
"R" stands for "Repetition". It would make a good slide if we use same font and same letter size in all of the slides.
"A" stands for "Alignment". We need to consider the positions of photos and texts in order to make the slides more meaningful.
"P" stands for "Proximity", which means that we have to be careful not to gather the text too much in one place.
I happened to know briefly and follow all of the principles above when making slides, but I did not know the words for it so I learned a lot from the "C.R.A.P." videos.
Can't wait to use all of these techniques and tools at the presentation!
Bye, have a nice day :)

Hello!
I found a reliable FA article in Wikipedia that is related to my essay which was about returnees in Japan. The article was detailed and it even had the anthem of Japan posted and ready to be played!
Here is the link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan
Next, I did a in-text citation of another book and a newspaper article.
It was very smooth to do the in-text citation. I checked if there were any errors in Zotero and I knew exactly how I should do to do the in-text citation. This will definitely be useful for me to create another essay in the future.
Thank you for reading:) Have a nice day!
