Reflection

Reflection Week 1-2
This week, Ms. Maria Fe gave a presentation on plagiarism and academic integrity and instructed us on how to correctly cite our sources. We also started working on our blog, we established numerous sections such as "Home", "About Us" and "Reflection". Also, Grade 6 attended our foyer to explain PYPX difficulties and how to avoid them. Ms. Richel also attended and assisted us in developing our central idea, lines of inquiry and key concepts. We showcased our thinking skills by taking notes and asking questions during presentations.

Reflection Week 3
This week, we started working in our A3 sketchbooks and talked about the timeline for the exhibition. It was intended to use secondary sources including books, newspapers, encyclopedias, and films. There were numerous newly added and updated sections. We were knowledgeable by learning, reflecting and listening to the multiple presentations mostly made by Ms. Richel. Ms. Richel's presentations were very helpful and informative, we learnt a lot from it.  

Reflection Week 4
We conducted sessions with Ms. Richel this week on action and the Human Library. For art class, we designed a poster stating the date and time of our PYPX. To speed up the procedure, we also divided the tasks among the members of our group. We added images from our sessions with Ms. Maria Fe, sixth-grade students, and Ms. Richel to our gallery page. This week, we were  Inquirers by asking questions to our teachers.

Reflection Week 5
We discussed about creating the PYPX logo. We were communicators by composing our weekly reflections. We also developed reflective skills by typing our reflections for each week. Ms. Richel helped us by providing information regarding the approaches to learning (ATL). We showcased our Reflective skills by editing our reflections in our blog.

Reflection Week 6
We had a many sessions this week for our PYPX blog. As soon as we had some free time, we began working on our IB Profile & ATL Skills page as well as our weekly reflections. We deliberated on how to best express each IB Learner Profile, and we succeeded in completing it. We also started working on our planner, and we went to Mentari School to see how the PYPX projects were presented by the children.  They also distributed free eggs, pins, stickers, etc. In some groups, one person was present, and the remaining members either vanished or engaged in egg carton games. We were Balanced this week because we got a lot done, we learnt a lot from Mentari School on how to later improve on our PYPX which was helpful. We were  Principled  by being respectful while others were presenting and we were well-behaved.

Reflection Week 7
This week, we didn't get much done since we took an immersion trip to Bogor Highland Resort Park. But for the times we did have PYPX sessions,  we researched and thought of people to interview that dedicated their lives to solving Fake news. We found out about Dustin Calvillo and emailed him, but there was no response. We were Risk-takers by  emailing various experts at Fake news to interview.

Reflection Week 8
We're illustrated the comic book cover since we were unhappy with the first design. We illustrated a pastel and dark colored version. We also came up with ideas for the storyline, more people to interview such as actors and started illustrating our pages for the comic. We were also introduced to our mentors: Ms. Arie and Ms. Irma. We were Communicators by discussing our ideas for the storyline and talking to our mentors, it was very exciting and fun to meet our mentors.

 Reflection Week 9

This week, we prepared the interview questions for Ms. Maria Fe. We also had our first parent mentoring session with Uncle S. Yamazaki (Aiko's dad). We had a session on internet addiction with Mr. Nikhil. We were Open-minded by learning new information from the guest speakers. We  asked questions about our topic to  Ms. Maria Fe and to Mr. Nikhill. He told us about media addiction and fake news . He asked us to take a quiz to test ourselves and how much we knew. We were Knowledgeable when we listened to the presentations made by our guest speakers, when we listened to the interview, and when we had a discussion with our parent mentors.

Reflection Week 10
We had a session on various types of media with Ms. Agnes Anya and we decided to interview her. We also had our parent mentoring session with Auntie Diana. We went to the MS-HS library on Friday to borrow books that will help with our research. We chose many books and read many essays from the library about fake news and misinformation. One of the books was called "Media messages" it was a 500 page book about fake news and short stories about the topic.

Reflection Week 11

We had an interview with Ms. Maria Fe, she was very helpful and gave long entertaining answers and most included stories from her own experiences they were most. The IB Learner Profiles we developed were thinker and communicator. We used our social and communication Skills.

Reflection Week 12

This week, we didn't do a lot.

Reflection Week 13

We had an interview with Ms. Agnes Anya, who was also our guest speaker a few weeks ago. We successfully recorded the meeting so we could copy down her answers into our blog.  We asked her about what fake news is and how people make it, she tells us about "the form" of fake news and she also told us about the base of fake news, she shared stories from her personal experiences to make it more interesting. She also informed us on how to stay away from fake news. One of the ways is to have a guardian by your side at all costs.

Reflection Week 14
We had a mentoring session with Ms. Richel, we also had an interview through via Zoom with Ms. Miram Grace Co and this week we started creating our powerpoint slideshow. We printed 40 copies of our comic book and 15 copies of both of our posters to the total of 30 posters. Our posters were in A3 size, one poster was an awareness poster about our comic book, and the other was about recommending people to buy them and a short intro about group.

Reflection Week 15
This week is our presentation week. We started posting and putting up our posters all around the school and took photos to upload in the blog. We also started selling our comics, most people favorited the pink version of our comic rather than the brown version. So far, we made around RP 165,000. Our estimated amount once we finish selling all comics should be around RP 1,050,000 so far, we sold almost all of the comics with every grade in PYP. We had only 9 more comics left so we kept some of them and gave some for free to the teachers. We decorated and added information on our display board.
