Social Study

Elliot: You should add more picture or color to your GSP, it is a bit too boring.

CHILE HUMAN FEATURES & LANDFORMS

One thing I learned about my country’s land forms is that there are a lot of rivers and mountains at Chile and the land forms is like line together because the country is so thin.

Our Las Raices Tunnel is located here because the mountain is blocking a important route and people need a tunnel to go through

REFLECT:

1) If I had two more hours to work on this map, what specific geographic details or human features might I add? Identify three or more specific improvements that could be made on your map.

I will add more color to shows the different height of different place, because the color can help people to think this map is not that boring and it can shows the height like a contour map. Then, I will add more mountains because I think mountains are the most attractive land form in Chile such as Socompa Volcano. Last, I might write about Isla Robinson Crusoe which is one of the island of Chile , because the island might help readers to understand some extra information (in fact, Isla Robinson Crusoe is the island in the book "Robinson Crusoe").

2) Student identifies a particular area of growth in their work or study habits, and articulates an actionable planned improvement for that area.

I think we should improve how we do a conclusion and quickly introduce something because after we write all of them, I found that the content is a bit lacking in information and we just talk about their names. I believe that if we can do more of this kind of practice, it will be easier for us to do this if there is another task similar.

3) Student discusses a specific piece of peer feedback about their map, and connects that feedback to a specific change made to the final product.

I think we did well but we still can improve about making the conclusion. And I think we can improve talking about rivers and glaciers, because we have less content and I want to add information about how did it form or its trouble.

EXIT TICKET

1.The Value Trap: What is more valuable: the gold under the ground or the water falling from it (Angel Falls)? If we mine, the rivers turn toxic. How will the Pemon drink?

I think the quality of water is more important because that you can be poor, but you can not die. Furthermore, if you are sick due to the toxic water, it spent a lot more water to heal.

2.The Unit Bridge: Why is the health of the land (Unit 1) inseparable from the health of the water (Unit 2)?

Because the substance on the land might go into water, and if there are serious thing happens on the land, the water also get affect.

EDIT THE MAP

In this activity, we added detail to the Chile map. We researched online and add rivers on it.

PHOTO TAKING

We take photo of different sky and analys it.

(The picture is a bit too dark than the original one, the sky should be bright)

Bright sky, no cloud, moderate wind, little bit warm, sunny, in subtropical. I think the weather will be sunny and very good.

Sky that is a little bit gray and dark, and you can see the enourmouse, thick layer of clouds. And it is a bit cool, less wind, in subtropical. I think it is almost raining.

CLIMATE ACTION REFLECTION

What feedback did you receive?

PRO: I memorize most of the script and I talk smoothly. The reason is that the website is very reliable and reasonable.

CON: I need to talk more normal, less meme.

PRO: Structure is nice, speech is smooth and not only following the script.

CON: Do reference list instead of ctrl + k.

Classmates all tell me to don't use slang or think we are friend. Instead, I should be respectful and formal like I am talking to a teach, professor or even government. Classmates also tell me that I do good on presentation, I talk smooth, loud, clear and normally.

What did you revise? I change my speech into more formal way and make it look more nice (my presentation have no more slang and it is very formal). Before, there are some slang and emoji. But after getting the advice, I understand that making the document more "kid friendly" is not a good idea. Therefore, I deleted all of the slang and change all of the words into high-level words(at least it is very high-level to me). The new document is stronger than the first one, because it looks more professional and I think I can even make it into a letter sent to government.

Honest self-assessment I think the worst part is the clarity and design, and I got a 2 to 3 on it. Because after seeing that Ailsa write about 2.5 pages of it, I find out that I really needs to improve my content and I am not good at separating paragraph. Before the presentation, I can separate all the paragraph by the topic of each part.

Bigger picture I think all of the costumer in night market will definitely get benefits in my program, because they will feel safer and comfortable since there are no more cars that might accidentally crash on you and there are a lot of AC in the building.

CLIMATE ACTION REFLECTION

Q5 — Reflecting on your final product and presentation Look back at your

Written Plan, Visual Aid, and how your final presentation went.

Answer both parts:

(a) What is one thing you are genuinely proud of in your final product or

presentation? Be specific — name the part of your work and explain why it

represents your best thinking.

(b) If you had one more week, what is the single most important thing you would

improve, and how would you improve it? Use the rubric language if you can (for

example: "I would improve the quality of my evidence by finding a more specific Taipei data point because...").

Aim for 5–8 sentences total across both parts.

I am proud of my argument part, because I think my evidence is very strong and I really think this program can works. I look at the rubric, I fit (that part) I look at my friends opinion, I do good. I just know that I am good with it!

I would improve the quality of my data evidence and find a better data chart, for instance, like a clear chart about my night market. I know that data chart is very confusion, even me can't understand it well, I go through a lot of website although. In my opinion, I think I can change it by go to government website and find reliable resources.

Q6 —Reflecting on your process and study habits This question is not about

your CAP — it is about how you work. Think honestly about the habits and

choices you made during this project.

Answer these three questions in a short paragraph each:

(a) Time and preparation: Did you use class work time well? Did you leave things to

the last minute? What is one specific habit around time management you want to

change for the future?

(b) Getting help: When you were stuck, what did you do? Did you ask for help early

enough, or did you wait? What would you do differently?

your best work. What conditions made that possible — and how could you create

those conditions more often?

There is no perfect answer here. We are looking for honest, specific reflection — not

what you think others want to hear.

I think I definitely managed the time and used the class work time well. I didn't waste any of the minutes. I put all my efforts and my time on the class and also on filling every reflection sheet, doing the presentation, and practicing about it. Also I finished a word very early. I'm like the fourth person to go on the stage and I tell everyone my plan. I didn't push any words to the last minute except for this GSP because I am overseas and absent. The one specific habit around time management I want to change in the future is that I hope that if I have more time I don't need to force myself to do something too early before the deadline. That makes my pressure high and I can not sleep well if I continue doing this. I must give myself some break and stop forcing myself to do the project too early. If there is a problem that make me stuck, there are a few ways I can do:

I might just ask myself or just Google search it if there is any way to solve the problem.
I will ask my classmates and my teachers for help.
Which is the most important one. I will find another way to do it, having the same effect but using different ways. Not forcing myself to be stuck at one thing for too long but I change the way while making the same effect showing.

The best moment in this unit is when I present it. I put my mood inside. I act like I was just a victim. In fact I really got bad lungs. "I would just feel like I really cannot survive under this extreme, bad, worst, horrible, terrible condition. During this weather how can I ever survive? You stay outdoors for 8 hours a day!" That's why I didn't get my mind.

To make these kinds of things happen more often I need to create more little drama. Although I know that making too much will be a bit annoying, I will try my best to control the amount. Maybe one presentation can have 1-2. Not too much, not too low. Not too little, and that might be the best balance I can think of.

Q7 —One thing you will carry forward Climate change is not going away. SDG 13

is not a school topic — it is a real challenge that will affect your life in

Taipei and everywhere else. Based on what you learned through your stakeholder

and your research, what is one thing — an idea, a habit, an action, or a

question — that you want to carry forward after this unit ends?

Aim for 3–5 sentences. This is your closing thought for the whole unit.

I want to carry on to fix all of the air quality problem, because this problem literally make my daily life hard. I always have exaggerate allergic problem and I sneeze and my eyes can't open wide when the allergic comes. Furthermore, I know that solving problem isn't just take medicine and fix the effect, we should solve the head of it, and that is why I would like to carry in with this topic.
