Metacognition:Mindbook

We did mindbook twice since the beginning of the school. I like doing mind book. I like how I try to think what to put in the mindbook to look pretty and creative. I like how I can express myself with a piece of artwork or writing. To me, the main goal of the mindbook is show my own creativity with certain form that is given, but feel free to express myself. The best part of mindbook is that to no one really can say about it. it's all about what is in my mind, what I think.
For the first entry of my mindbook was the art work that mixed every part of the body that I thought was pretty from charities and put it all together to make a "dream girl". What i ended up getting was a monster. So I found out that the beauty people think, is something imperfect. Not everything perfect isn't good. I was surprised how I came up with the thought to create a girl with every perfect part but it came really ugly. Also I like the conclusion. The second entry I did for my mindbook was write a poetry about the first thought when I first came to the U.S. It came from the old diary that I was reading one night. I thought it would be nice if I could make a poem out of it. So I put it in the mindbook. It was so much fun because it was all about me, like how I thought, felt, and saw. I named the poem "where I want to be", and it refers to the U.S. And I was surprised that how I rhymed for the last word of the sentence to sound like a poem. Also I never used what I was referring to but used kind of metaphors to describe the place where I want to be.

I always have many thoughts about many things but sometime I don't know how to put together or where to put it. But mindbook gave me chance to set all things together and made me creative.

  2. Me too. I enjoy doing mindbook. Mindbook is the one place other than my sketchbook. I could write or do anything I want to. I liked how you wrote that in mindbook, you could express all your thoughts. I loved the idea of your first entry. I also agree with that idea that beauty is what is really inside a person, not what is on the surface. To really know a person, you have to know them really well and when you are close to that person, that is the point when you decide if that person is really beautiful or not. From reading your blog post, it feels like your mindbook will be full of your thoughts and very creative! :D
