This was the final project and Assignment for Thai Non-Native Social Studies in Grade 11. It was a combination of creating a guidebook on a psychological disorder and adding what we learned about Buddhism and Mindfulness to help patients practice and train.
I chose to do the Dissociative Disorders which include Dissociative Amnesia, Dissociative Fugue, and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). The requirements included writing a slight amount of background to the Disorders, making a guidebook, listing procedures for a training exercise to help with the disorders, and adding ways Buddhism and Mindfulness could help alleviate the disorders.
It was quite fun and pretty easy to do. I learned a lot from it, and thanks to my elective in Psychology, I was able to use my work from there and add it to my project, and then create the guidebook and add mindfulness and Buddhism traits into the booklet.
Certain ESLOs to the project include being Strategic Learners as we had to learn challenging topics and identify and recall important topics and knowledge to improve and follow the rubric, and being Morally Intelligent Person as we imagined someone else's perspective and thinking and showed compassion and awareness of problems within one's community.
This was the final assignment for semester 1 in Thai Social Studies for Grade 11. As the summative/project, it was the test with everything we covered during the semester.
It was mainly about the issue that is global environmental issues. There were four main steps for the project: 1) Picking two issues; 2) finding and using relating to your topic and adding them to the collage; 3) Using a design platform to make the collage and print, cut, and glue them to an A3 paper; 4) writing a 250 to 300-word essay or paragraph(s) about the artwork.
Due to my absences caused by health complications, I mainly did the essay for my group of two others. We picked Water Pollution and Climate Change as our issues. Specifically, for the essay, I had to write and add the following main ideas: what happened related to the issues, what the issues are about, possible solutions to each issue, and ways to encourage others on the cause. It also had to follow the standardized essay format of font Times New Roman, font-size 12px, 1-inch margins, and single-spaced.
It was quite helpful and taught me more about how to write standardized essays and a lot about different environmental issues, especially the two we researched. As for ESLOs, it was mainly: 1) Altruistic Global Citizens as we learned about global issues and how to fix them, along with convincing others on the issue and our cause; and 2) Morally Intelligent Persons as we learned how to fix global and societal issues and how these issues started and other problems caused by human impact to an extent.
