Week 2 Term 4 Reflection (Exhibition)

Introduction

This week was the first week of taking action and it was a very productive one 🧐. This week I got my booklet from my teacher that say’s “Taking Action” and that’s when we started taking action.

Taking Action

This week we just started so I have only made one taking action so far. My plans are:

• Sign up to the White Ribbon 👍
• Tell more people about my issue
• Send a letter to the AFL
• Posters to inspire
• Ask people to sign up to a anti-violence organisation
• Hand out fliers

The thumbs-up means completed that taking action part

Ending

Next week is going to be a busy one but I will get through it

Term 4 Week 1 (Exhibition)

 

Introduction

This week in exhibition was a reasonably quiet week. This is the setting up week so I am making banners and choosing work for the exhibition night.

Getting Up To Date

We have completed all the really hard stuff and now all I need to focus on is my setting up the exhibition night. Finally MY EXHIBITION GROUP HAS COMPLETED OUR DANCE!!!!!!! It took us ages but we have completed it.

Setting up

So far I have completed my banner and I need to decide what to show on exhibition.

Notices

I have noticed that the class is extremely focused on their work and it is very useful if I’m trying to finish work. I do not know how long or wide my table for exhibition is. I have not practiced speaking but that is one of my goals for next week. We

 

Week 8 Reflection (Exhibition)

This was the final week of term three so we had to complete a couple of things because I was so up to date. The first thing was to complete our dance because that needed to be finished before the end of term three. I thought we failed because it wasn’t very good. It was us ‘Leo walking’ towards the victim and we were the bully’s. We just started hitting him with sticks. The final thing I had to start was art because we will complete that in term four.

Week 9 Reflection (Exhibition)

This week in exhibition we are working on the making conclusion stage. The first thing we had to complete was our poetry. I know I did it last week but we had to complete 2 more pieces of poetry and I completed it in a jiffy. I was told that they were not child-friendly so I will only show them to older children an adults.

The next thing, was to complete my data representation in my book which was for maths. I chose to do the percentage of domestic violence caused by men or women. 76% were men and 24% were women.

We had St Andrews in-concert which kind of ruined most of our exhibition time.

The final thing i did this week was to sort out my folder because it was a MESS! I had to sort them into sections of Calendar, Agreements etc… Tuning in – plan, research, making conclusions and reflections.

Research Reflection

Finding out

The first thing I had to do before we could sort out and go further was to do the finding out stage of exhibition. The finding out stage is basically the research that we have to do on our Global Issue. The finding out stage also answered all my questions on our diagram.

I had to use at least one primary source which is first hand information and not a second hand source. My primary source was mum who has helped me with most of the exhibition process so far. It was a big challenge because we had to find three sources that had the same information and that was. The finding out stage went on for about 1-2 weeks then we had to start the sorting out stage.

Sorting out

The sorting out stage was where I had to sort out only the important information that I found out in the finding out stage. That only took me 30-60 minutes to do but I had a harder challenge up ahead. To finish up the sorting out stage I found graphs and I had to use the information from those graphs to write questions.

Finding Out

Finally I had the going further stage and that was hard. I had to go further with one of our lines of inquiry. I chose Impacts of violence and i think I chose the right one. I had to research that line of inquiry and go deeper in our research so I have detailed information.

Weekly Reflection

This week exhibition was a challenge, and I mean a big challenge. We had to finish all our lines of inquiry and research all the questions to do with the lines of inquiry. We also had to finish the finding out stage of the exhibition because we were a week behind. It was a big challenge because we had to find out a primary source and I do not have a primary source. And to top that off the internet was not a primary source and you can get lost on the internet.

Tuning in Reflection

This week we finished our tuning in stage of exhibition and this is my reflection on this stage. My Central Idea is ‘Feelings, beliefs and values encourage responsibility’. It was quite hard to write a central idea and there were many attempts and fails but we got there in the end. We also finished our Lines of Inquiry and that was difficult as well. It was hard because we had to marry two concepts and at first i had no idea what a concept is. My teacher told me it wasn’t a physical thing and that made me even more confused. After hours of explaining and lots of hard work i finally had my lines of inquiry. My lines of inquiry were ‘An inquiry into types of violence’, ‘an inquiry into impacts of violence’, and ‘an inquiry into how to conquer violence’. To make my lines of inquiry I need transdiciplinary themes which are like the themes of the inquiry. My themes were ‘How we express ourselves’, ‘Sharing the planet’ and ‘How the world works’. We than to make our questions to make our lines of inquiry we needed Key Concepts. Mine were Form, Causation and Responsibility. I had my first Mentor Meeting was with my exhibition teacher and she was extremely helpful. I have an exhibition group and they are very funny. I think we need to improve on our focus better and staying on task. My Global issue is Violence and i chose it because it interests me and it is a big issue in the world.
