What did we do in this Quarter?In this quarter, we were assigned to create a self-directed project which consists of making a product that represents Thai tradition. Before we started this project, we had done some class activities that had given us some basics and helped us come up with ideas. The first activity is watching two Thai music videos, identifying Thai objects in that are included in the video. After those activities, we had to select two Thai tradition objects to conduct researches on, developing product ideas as a practice before we would be creating the final one. For our final product, we had to conduct researches following these steps: finding its background information, the purpose of conducting researches about it, and knowledge that we would like to earn from conducting this research. Despite all of these hard processes, we have to also spent various of time to physically creating our product. I had chose Thai dessert as my topic because I think it is something that I would be interested on. I decided to make rings, hair clips, and ear rings with Thai dessert design on top of them. I had been using clay to create Thai dessert model. Then I sprayed gold color into some of the clay to place on top of some of the dessert that had gold color and hair clip so that it would look nice. In addition, I had also sprayed lacquer so that it would look elegant. Lastly I placed all of the model on the accessories by using glue gun. How does it Relate to Eslos?1) STRATEGIC LEARNERS I recognize that being able to conduct researches on the object that we had chosen and creating a product that is unique, containing modern and traditional idea is important for this unit. I had also understand the mistakes that I have made throughout my process of working and had kept improving over time. Since this quarter is very short, I have learned how to plan and work wisely, not wasting any time. Lastly, I have used technology such as laptops and cellphones to do research for this project. 2) INNOVATIVE THINKERS I have build on the ideas of others to create a product that is original and also the concept and product would have to suit one another well. I have applied what I have study in class in order to do the research that I have done. In addition, I have learned to explain to others about what I have learned while making this project and why it is important. I was also creative and original because my product is unique from others. Furthermore, I have also use technology such as my iPads and laptops to create high quality slides as a presentation for this project. 3) ARTICULATE COMMUNICATORS I listen to my friends' presentation and ideas. Also, I have read on various of previous researches and wrote my own understanding of them. I spoke while I presented to my friends and have explained to others about my project and ideas. I have also published my work into this weebly so that others could view them and learn from it. Whole year ReflectionOverall, I think Thai Civics has opened up a lot of things in the World to me. My favorite lesson in this class is the laws that we have studied. Although it is very hard, but I felt that it is very important and could be used in my daily life. Truly, I have enjoyed this class very much because in each class the lessons seem to be very surprising. Miss Kwang have always find good explanation to the lessons, especially on the lesson on laws she had used current news that most students have heard about. Not only having good lessons, but she had always done her homework on the things that she might not know. She would always go back home and do more researches, coming with answers on the future classes. If there was something that I think that she could've improved, I guess it would be the workloads and the lessons planned in class. Sometimes I felt that there are too much work given because every detail of the work is significant in this class. Also, in this last unit, we couldn't make all presentations on class time because there wasn't enough time. I felt that Miss Kwang might be able to give comments separately in a piece of paper since she has a lot of comments and saying all of it might cause a delay in a presentation. However, I find her comments very useful and helpful. Lastly, this class has been very fun and I have enjoyed all of the times that I have spent. Works
