When you get to high school, you'll start to think about what university you want to go to, and where. If you want to study abroad, especially in America, you'll have to start preparing for the S.A.T., which is a big focus at KMLA. In addition to Math, Grammar, and Critical Reading, you'll have to write a short essay in a short period of time. This requires quick thinking, a mastery of essay structure, and the ability to "think outside the box." Make sure to read the "prompt" carefully, as many people who write these tests make the mistake of answering a question other than that stated. Usually, these questions are philosophical in nature.
In class, I've asked you to watch the first section "Spring" from the famous Kim Ki Duk film "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring." After viewing, I gave you a paper with the following prompt:
In the film, what lesson do you think the monk is trying to teach his young student? Reflectively relate this learning process to your own personal experience.
Hopefully you enjoyed this short film, and were inspired to write about it. I'll ask you to post this same video on your blog, together with a second draft of your essay after you are done. You can cut and paste this html code to put the video on your blog:
