REFLECTIONS:
Eugene: Week 4 is great. We got so much more information to support us for our continuing PYPx. We had a session with Ms. Richel, and we were talking about the Human Library. (23rd Feb). We also had another session with Ms. Richel talking about actions. We started making the Central Idea & LOI (Lines Of Inquiry), on Feb 23rd. We also finalized the choice of the media issues we will be focusing on for the rest of Grade 5. (PYPx)
Brandon: Week 4 is pretty fun and okay, the session with Ms Richel was really fun and I got to learn so much new things and got to discover more about my friends and this will probably help in the future, and the activities with our PYPX Group members within the presentation was exciting and fun, learning about Lines of Inquiry and all about our PYPX, Im forward to learning even more.
Lindy: The session with Ms Richel have been okay and pretty helpful. Sometimes, making the central idea was pretty hard because not everyone was focused, But we eventually did it and we did a pretty okay job. But of course, we could have did better then just playing and talking over each other which was one of the many reasons.
Diana: This week was very useful. We had another session with Ms. Richel and we have learnt about how to get information. Either from books, documentaries, etc. We made our central ideas and some line of inquiry. Although not everyone was that focused into it and my book got drawn on 2 times. But its okay! It was worth the time since we finished it while having fun. Im happy to learn more about the PYPX and how to work with on it.
Isabel: In the session of action, we learned the 5 keys to take action: Participation, Advocacy, Social Justice, Social Energy, and Lifestyle (or PASSL). The session was hosted by Ms. Richel, which was very useful! She also helped to teach us about our session on human library. What is a human library? It's somebody (an expert) that has a talent on something (drawing, painting, coloring, music, singing, etc). Then we finalized the media issue, which is Media Addiction. The central idea was difficult because I didn't really like the central idea we picked but I got used to it in the end.
