The Effect of Breath on Voice and Speech (outside classroom)

      I learned about the effect of Breath on Voice and Speech. The voice is responsive to emotions and sometimes gets 'blocked', which can prevent or hinder the expression of a range of feelings.  However, it is possible to use physical exercise to help produce a more flexible voice, in the same way that people who use vocal sounds professionally take lessons, to ensure that their voices are kept in a versatile condition and ready to vocalise a range of sounds.
     
Good breathing is essential for two reasons:

       By using full lung capacity the breath will support the voice and the voice will become richer, fuller and stronger.  This will benefit individuals who have a small voice and who worry that they cannot be heard when speaking to a group of people.  Volume is controlled in the abdomen not in the throat, so breathing to full strength will allow for greater control of the voice.
      Breathing deeply and rhythmically has a calming and therapeutic effect as it releases tension and promotes relaxation.  Individuals who are relaxed are more balanced, receptive and confident.  It is no coincidence that several religions use rhythmic breathing techniques such as meditation, yoga and silent contemplation, and vocal release in the form of chants, mantras or hymn singing as aids to their devotions.  By easing physical tension, mental stress decreases and the mind is effectively freed to follow creative pursuits.
     Conclustion,  When under stress an individual's breathing pattern will change.  When your muscles are tense you cannot use your lungs to their full capacity, when a person is frightened or nervous, a common symptom is tension in the neck and shoulders.  This occurs because, when under pressure, over-breathing tends to occur.  Plenty of air is inhaled, but with fast breathing there is not enough time to exhale and relax.

   

Lesson plan (reflect test teaching)

      Today, I learn about presentation lesson plan. My friends are different about process and activities. such as;
      first preson - Rawitporn, she present the topic about Eco in my home. I learn about how to save energy in my home and present them in front of class. She teaches by using video and activities.
      second preson- Atinut, she present the topic about the garbage. She teaches the students by using authentic materials. I learn about wate management.
      Conclustion, today I learn about Eco in my home and wate management. I can used if I teach the students in the school. 

Steps of reading Learning Log (outside classroom)

     Many people have trouble with reading. Reading is hard for some people and it can take time. Reading is a process of the brain where you look at symbols on a page, and your mind sees the patterns of characters and understands the meaning in them. If you develop good reading skills, it'll be very helpful to your future. Aren't your school teachers always saying 'Read more books!'? Here are a few steps and tips to get started.
      1. Find something to read. Examples include a children's book, a newspaper article, a short story, or something on wikiHow. 2. Go to the library and pick up lots of books. Pick books depending on your reading level, no matter what your age. 3. Find a place to read where you can concentrate. This may be someplace secret where no one will bother you, or simply your home at a time when it is quiet. 4. Schedule a routine time to read. Do this at least for the times you have nothing else to do, such as when you're on the bus. That way, a good book only entertains you but can also can help you learn to read faster. 5. Begin your reading by looking at the pictures, or listening to the music to get a feel for what you are going to be reading about. 6. Start with titles, names, or other larger print items that you may know or ever thought about. 7. Read the page carefully. Don't rush, take your time. Most people think that skimming the page(skimming means to just scan the whole page and hardly take in a couple of words)is a way of fast reading, but this is definitely not true.8. Sound out each letter as best you can and you will notice they form some sort of word. Some letters fit together. For example, "th" is not pronounced as t + h, but rather as one unit. This is called a 'phoneme'. 9. Read as much as you are able. When you start getting bored or need a break, take one. Reading should be fun and enjoyable, don't force it. After your break, return to where you were, and continue.10. Reread the material. It is okay to reread something if you do not understand it fully the first time. 11. Use context clues to find out a word's meaning. Context clues are when a person figures out the meaning of a word by seeing how the word was used in a sentence. For example, you were reading the following sentence and wanted to know what 'pessimist' means:My mother is always happy and optimistic, the total opposite of my brother, the pessimist. So from the sentence, you can gather that 'pessimist' means the opposite of happy, so pessimist means being moody and angry. Good, experienced readers always use context clues! If you find a word that you're totally stumped on, use the dictionary! If you want to save time and the hassle of turning pages, go to the online dictionary. 12. Memorize a text. Read that portion out in front of a mirror, out loud. Memorizing can improve your confidence with reading. 13. Reread. If you don't understand what you are reading, read over the sentence(s) again. Try reading the words out loud to yourself. If you still don't understand something, ask a good reader nearby to explain the sentence(s) to you, or simply pick up a book that is easier to read and more appropriate to your reading level. Feel free to use your finger as a pointer. It will keep your eyes focused on the line you are reading, improving your understanding. 14. Keep reading. Try to read as much as you can on your free time. Reading will help you in lots of ways; your vocabulary will become larger and more sophisticated and you will notice your grades change for the better in school. Have fun reading!

Listening Skills (outside classroom)

     

You probably spend more time using your listening skills than any other kind of skill. Like other skills, listening takes practice.

What does it mean to really listen?

Real listening is an active process that has three basic steps.

• Hearing. Hearing just means listening enough to catch what the speaker is saying. For example, say you were listening to a report on zebras, and the speaker mentioned that no two are alike. If you can repeat the fact, then you have heard what has been said.
• Understanding. The next part of listening happens when you take what you have heard and understand it in your own way. Let's go back to that report on zebras. When you hear that no two are alike, think about what that might mean. You might think, "Maybe this means that the pattern of stripes is different for each zebra."
• Judging. After you are sure you understand what the speaker has said, think about whether it makes sense. Do you believe what you have heard? You might think, "How could the stripes to be different for every zebra? But then again, the fingerprints are different for every person. I think this seems believable."

Tips for being a good listener

• Give your full attention on the person who is speaking. Don't look out the window or at what else is going on in the room.
• Make sure your mind is focused, too. It can be easy to let your mind wander if you think you know what the person is going to say next, but you might be wrong! If you feel your mind wandering, change the position of your body and try to concentrate on the speaker's words.
• Let the speaker finish before you begin to talk. Speakers appreciate having the chance to say everything they would like to say without being interrupted. When you interrupt, it looks like you aren't listening, even if you really are.
• Let yourself finish listening before you begin to speak! You can't really listen if you are busy thinking about what you want say next.
• Listen for main ideas. The main ideas are the most important points the speaker wants to get across. They may be mentioned at the start or end of a talk, and repeated a number of times. Pay special attention to statements that begin with phrases such as "My point is..." or "The thing to remember is..."
• Ask questions. If you are not sure you understand what the speaker has said, just ask. It is a good idea to repeat in your own words what the speaker said so that you can be sure your understanding is correct. For example, you might say, "When you said that no two zebras are alike, did you mean that the stripes are different on each one?"
• Give feedback. Sit up straight and look directly at the speaker. Now and then, nod to show that you understand. At appropriate points you may also smile, frown, laugh, or be silent. These are all ways to let the speaker know that you are really listening. Remember, you listen with your face as well as your ears!

Thinking fast

• Remember: time is on your side! Thoughts move about four times as fast as speech. With practice, while you are listening you will also be able to think about what you are hearing, really understand it, and give feedback to the speaker.

Tips of reading (outside classroom)

      Yesterday, I learned about tips of reading. It very useful for me and you can used for develop yourself. This is tips about reading and I can see important about reading. I want practice about reading for develop myself. Tips of reading follow as;
     

• Read out loudly to make sure that you are concentrating properly and reading every word.
• Have a good interest in the book you are reading.
• Be calm and, take a deep breath for a few seconds before you start to read.
• While most people disagree with this, most things you need to know are in books. Therefore it is wise when you are comfortable reading general material to increase your reading speed as soon as possible. A good guide to this is Wade E. Cutler's Triple Your Reading Speed.
• Standing works better for some people. Some read while walking on a treadmill or a track, exercising both the body and mind!
• To get the most comprehension, avoid lying down while reading. While reading in bed can help you relax and fall asleep, you can retain more information by having a good posture while reading. For example, sitting straight up and keeping your feet flat on the floor can increase your alertness.
