In the past few weeks, Top, Ta, Belle and I worked together on our group project – Impact of farming on the environment. The purpose of this project is not only to understand and learn about the topic, but also to be aware of our own learning. For example, become active, independent and engage learners. When we three were conducting our project, the question of how to organize our own parts, how to relate the knowledge that we already have and research on the topic and lead out the next groups, and how to make our products as successful as possible. For this project communication was extremely significant factor. It was essential to communicate and discuss with the teacher and the group mates regularly, for the information of the teacher was the most useful advice in the process of major project. Overall, I achieved the important factors which also could be described as strengths. One thing that independent learner make me success is that I am able to learn, and identify key activities essential for learning such as listening, remembering, applying previously learned knowledge and using formal strategies like keep track of my learning and monitor my progress. The failure is that we can’t manage our time well. I think that we need a better discipline to ensure that everything is carried out on time and properly. We need to make compromises when we confronted with differences in different schedules and different perspectives on a particular question. We sent emails and met each other during the preparing time. We exchanged our views on our understanding of the study and collaboratively came up with our approaches to do the research and make the product.
In summary of my topic(Pesticide) is that pesticides are chemical compounds that can harm more than just pest. They cause health effects, like some serious illnesses and diseases in humans, from respiratory problems to cancer. Thus, this topic leads to what I have learned in quarter 3. In quarter 3 I have learned lots of subtopics including pesticides that suggest me to research more on pesticides. Bioaccumulation is a slow build up of toxins in a body. Biomagnification is when toxic substances increase in concentration in living organisms as they move up each step of the food chain. The sources that I use, I try to look for the sources are backed up with the evidence, the site is maintained by the organization that I know it is credible outside the internet, has been updated in the past 3 to 6 months and has a .edu as the suffix. ESLOs Strategic Learners : I recognize what is important to know and understand. I can reflect on my learning and how my mistakes help me to improve. Besides, I plan how to learn without wasting time. For example writing a goal for every lesson, and what next class I will do can confirm my plan to be accurate. I use technology to do research and to work. Innovative Thinkers : The project can build on the ideas, explanations, and reasons of others. I can apply what I know to analyze, evaluate, and solve problems. To create this products I need to be creative and original, also using the technology to create high quality products. Articulate Communicators : This project taught me to listen, read, write, and speak for different purposes and using different methods. I can use technology and media to clarify, explain, and state my ideas. I can use the web for research and as a resource. As well as I can connect with students at other schools and do collaborative work with them. Also I learn technology skills while doing these projects. Morally Intelligent Persons : The work log and end product is the best thing that would present my hardworking and caring in this work. I use technology in a good ways like trying to research information or watch some videos to make me understand more on this topic. Altruistic Global Citizens : I show that I am concerns and responsible for the well-being of the project. Leaders for the Future : One thing that I loved about our team is that we work together as one team, and not as an individual. I remembered how we put in a lot of effort to ensure that every member of the team has good content. We gave each other ideas to develop their content. We use technology to solve our problems and do our work together. Moreover, I learnt to listen more to others’ feedback and opinions.
