In this project, we were assigned to create a model and timeline of a particular country. We had Thailand as the country that we would be conducting research on and there were three members. In this project, we had used coffee paper to make the timeline. In addition, we used paper clay and bagasse paper to create the model which we decided that it would be monument of democracy. I think that the successes that my group had was our end product which is the timeline and the model. We were able to create these products just as we had pictured it in our head. During the process, we had used white paper to write information in our first time which absolutely did not go along with our big coffee paper. We had to rewrite lots of parts. Besides this, it was quite difficult because burning the coffee paper was hard. It took a long period of time in order to burn it. After doing it several times, we learned that stepping the paper was the best way to stop the fire. I think that they way that we had organize in order to finish the project was well planned. We followed Mr.Woody’s plan, but changed it a bit. We started to gather the information for the timeline first, then we finished the model and then complete the timeline. Although, we spent too much time on little details which wasted a lot of our time. As a learner, I developed different type of skills. I have learned to write in fonts that I never had wrote. Not only this, I’ve learned how to gather information quickly and filter only the things that I needed. As a person, I’ve learned how to manage time wisely and how to work with others. According to MUIDS ESLOs, I have developed: 1) STRATEGIC LEARNERS I recognized the important part of this project which is the learning process. I have learned that what we learn is more important than the final product that we have made. My group members and I are able to recognize our mistakes and have find ways in order to improve ourselves throughout the process. We have planned to learn without wasting time because whenever we take a long time to do something, we would always reflect on how we would do things faster. Throughout this project, we had used computer to conduct research and find pictures for our timeline and model. 2) INNOVATIVE THINKERS We were able to be creative and original. In this project, we were the first group to use coffee paper, paper clay, and bagasse paper. Besides this, we were able to analyze and criticize our work. We have solved several issues such as adjusting the color of coffee paper and the process in which we burnt the coffee paper. We also stuck back the tray with pedestal since it is very fragile and it broke several times. 3) ARTICULATE COMMUNICATORS We listened to each other throughout the process. In order to conduct the research, we had to read and write out the information that we had found online. In this process, we have to talk to each other and discuss what we were going to do. Not only this, random people are selected to present in front of the class. We had to listen and speak to our friends in the class in order for them to understand our topic and for us to learn about theirs. Moreover, we had used weebly in order to display our work to other teachers and students. 4) MORALLY INTELLIGENT PERSONS In this project, we had used Mr.Woody’s room as the location to create our products. We always cleaned up his room and helped clean up the mess that other groups had done. We worked for a long period of time everyday and were very hardworking and caring. 5) LEADERS FOR THE FUTURE We worked as a team and respect each other ideas. We go by majority vote in order to make decisions. We accept our members opinion and are opened to comments and criticism that they make. We always gave feedback and help other members improve the project. Furthermore, we use google documents to collect data and help each other edit. Mindmap 3This is the third mind map that we made and it is the last one. By this, we had finished all of our projects and it shows that we had learned more information about our country.
