What have we studied in this quarter?In unit 3, the main topics that we have studied are criminal law, taxation, international agreement, human rights, and consumer protection law. For criminal law, we have studied public law, private law, international law. In addition, we have studied on the different levels of consequences that a person may face after committing crime. For taxation, we have learned different type of taxes that a government had charged people and what they are used for. We have also learned that people may not recognize that they have paid tax indirectly when they are buying in the convenience store. We have also learned from the consumer protection law that we are able to protect ourselves and may call for our rights buying products from the seller. For international agreement, we have learned about the different types of documents that each country could have agreed on and signed their contracts, including the United Nations. For human rights, we have learned about the refugees and how each human have the rights to live. In unit 4, we have studied about universal ethic. For instance, what type of people would be good. Although, there are no real answers. but universally, there are some keys that people measure good and bad people. Works that we have completed in this quarterOn unit 3 we have done various of works such as conducting research on some particular law and the consequences of it if we do not follow those law. Not only researching on what consequences we may face if we do not follow the law, but we also did some research on what the government have used the taxes to contribute to the community as a whole. Moreover, we have to choose a particular agreement between a country and conduct some research on the agreements. On unit 4, we have worked on choosing a person that we define them as being a "good" person. Also, we have worked on finding border of two countries that live peacefully among one another. In addition, we have also worked in groups to make posters of the Partnership for 21st Century Learning (P21). Reflection for Thai Traditional Recycle Costume Contest (TTRCC)In this project, my class (1206) have come up with the concept Kinnari, a Thai mythical creature in Himmapan forest with beautiful wings and tails. In this project, we have used the Thai traditional style combined with the modern fashion from the Western countries to create this costume. At the same time, we have only used recycle materials to create this project. During class time, I helped my friends tear up paper bags into a big flat paper, so that it could be used to create something useful for the dress. I have also used the ropes from the bags and tie it up so that it would look nice. Aside from that, I have brought various of leftover paper bags to Week Without Walls. Some of my friends and I have worked on tearing the bags and drawing and cutting leftover cardboard boxes to create the Thai style dress accessories. After coming back from Week Without Walls, I have worked on the Kinnari tail with my another friend for the whole day. We have been crafting the leftover foams and future boards from other classes, spraying the gold color, and glittering it. We were able to finish the tail within that one day. Aside from that, during my study halls, I have also rolled the papers and have helped my friend stick it on the wings of the Kinnari. In this project, I have learned to work with others and the process of having a successful teamwork. I realized that it might not always be easy to work with others and not everyone will agree on the same thing. Therefore, having a good communication will be very useful. Studying in the Thai Civics class, allows us to feel engaged in contributing to the community. In this work, we have become a good role model to our society like using recycled materials to create this dress. We have showed that we do care about the environment. Moreover, we have also show that we love our country because we have use Thai traditional style to design the dress and have also shown our creativity, making it become more modern. By working on this work, we have also used the ESLOs. Strategic Learners in which we have understood the concept of this work and every time we made a mistake, we would always learn from it and would always plan ahead. Moreover, we have used the concept of Innovative Thinkers where we created a unique and new style of our dress, building up upon the ideas of the previous works. Not only that, we have also used Morally Intelligent Persons and Altruistic Global Citizens by working very hard for a high quality work and was a good role model for the society because we have used leftover materials. Lastly, we used the quality of Leaders of the Future because we have worked in groups, accept one another decisions, comment on our peers work, and have find solutions in worst case scenarios. EslosIn these units, we have used various of ESLOs:
1) STRATEGIC LEARNERS We recognize the essential part of studying this subject, knowing and understanding the most from unit 3 and 4. In each time that we misunderstood or made mistakes, we would learn and keep improving ourselves. We have learned to plan and use our time wisely. We have always use our laptop which is a part of technology to conduct research and work. 2) INNOVATIVE THINKERS We have build on the ideas of others and apply them to our work. We analyze, evaluate and solve problems in each classes. We were also creative and original in every work products that we create. We have also used our google drive to take good notes. 3) ARTICULATE COMMUNICATORS We listen, read, write, and speak to learn from our friends and teachers. We have use our created work products that are based on our understandings and clarify it to the community and society, so that they would be able to learn from us. 4) ALTRUISTIC GLOBAL CITIZENS As a citizen of our country, we show responsibility. We respect others and people who are different forms. We show concern towards people that have lesser opportunity and promote community service to others. 5) LEADERS FOR THE FUTURE We work with others and use teamwork to achieve common goals, creating quality works. We work through each other differences and accept one another's decisions. We always give each other useful feedbacks.
