Contemporary Themes
LGBT : Lesbian, Gay, Bi, and Transgender Project
In this project, I was asked to come up with an idea of a problem solution project. The steps that were required to accomplish this are ;
1) Finding an idea of what the project will be about. 2) Figure out a skit. 3) Assign everyone in my group an act. 4) Memorize the lines on the skit. 5) Act it out. 6) Have someone responsible in recording and uploading it to the weebly. 7) Editing final stage. This assignment was important to me because it has taught me the idea of accepting people how they are and not to be judgemental. Not only that it was a time consuming project, but also it has brought me and my group together , knowing our strengths and weaknesses and most importantly trust in one another. Through group projects, I have learned to manage my time wisely. This project is meaningful to me because its a message that I will carry on for the rest of my life, because it gave me the concept of treating others with respect and don't judge. Let God be the judge. This assignment has an impact on my learning because I have learn that trusting my group members are a significant impact in getting this project done. A simple trust in doing what they are suppose to do is important, and in some cases, sacrificing your time to cover up their work in order to not let the whole team down. By doing this project, I have learned that learning is not just about reading a book, taking notes, and passing tests, but having the urge to go eyo9nd your creativity and let your imagination flow. I have learned that the more guidelines and strict enforcement there are , there will be no creativity involved. It is like dancing, if you are thinking while you are dancing, you are not dancing. Just let your creativity flow and see what you can do. |
ANTI-Bullying Project
In this assignment, I was asked to come up with an idea to stand up against bullying .
Step 1) INTRODUCE the problem.
Step 2: DEFINE "bullying".
Step 3: PROVIDE evidence that illustrates that bullying is a problem in schools and that bullying is a problem in THIS school.
Step 4: INTRODUCE both prevention and intervention strategies for all parties involved: witnesses, victims, & bullies.
Step 5: ENGAGE the participants in an activity.
This assignment was important to me because it has taught me to become a role model and set a good example , also state the reasons, to stand up against bullying. not only that I got the chance to present to my underclassmen, but I also had the chance to make a difference in some people's life. This project might have reached handful of students who are going through situations dealing with bullying, and have helped them mentally, knowing that they are not alone and they have my support. This project was meaningful to me because it has taught me to becareful of my actions , especially that I am a senior and underclassmen are looking up to us. I have learned to set a good example so that they could follow my footsteps and bring bullying to a stop. This project has also taught me to step away from my omfort zone and speak out, and with the unity and support of my peers, I was able to accomplish it.
This assignment had an impact on my learning because it has made me realize how serious bullying is and what it could lead up to. I did not know that the strength of unity and compassion towards something, could make a difference to a situation that seems impossible to be resolved. This unity is not only towards this project, but it is also towards other situations that life might throw at me. I did not know that this would have such a tremenduous impact towards the underclassmen because after our presentations, I had numerous underclassmen ask where did I get the t-shirt and some even thought it was part of a bullying club ! This showed that I had an effect to their minds, and I have their support in this matter. This project has made me realize that learning in a different way, helps me learn more.
