Student's Reflection
The learning task was about my favourite planet. I made a PowerPoint and a video, sharing the information I found out about my favourite planet, which helped me to know more about my favourite planet, Mars.
In the learning task, I learned lots of fun facts about my favourite planet. From my research, I found out that it is credible that there may be a possibility of undiscovered creatures, due to the fact that there is a huge lake and water pools on Mars. I really enjoyed researching fun facts about Mars. I think it is interesting to make funny parts with factual detail. I gained a real sense of accomplishment after making it. I also liked designing the PowerPoint as it put great importance on the beauty and neatness of the design, along with the words and pictures needed to support the project.
