Second CAS G11 - E-right Reflection
Project E-right reflection
As we dive into the real work, I have learned a lot of things in the process.
Disagreements + Creating A Draft Plan
I have had disagreements with my team-mates about the Thailand trip. During January, I really wanted to push the trip to March where we would go to Bangkok and visit a children orphanage in Northern Thailand. Meanwhile, everyone in my team disagreed with me.
LO2: Disagreement - rarely happened before this. leads to LO1.
Didn't handle it with hatred by seeking for advise from friends and mom.
LO1:
- Strength: Do work very on time, without delay, contact skilled people to help
Speak up
Appreciate the disagreement
- Growth: Bring down personality, work credit for the whole group
same time: Confidence
no Negative feelings, response
LO3: Build a CAS Experience - flights, program, what activities to do
LO4: Commitment even after I didn't get what I want
LO7 (impact of choices): the way I chose to react affects my relationship with my peer and might cost me the respect -> apologize.
others too.
English camp
We held a 2-day English camp for almost 10 kids and it was very enjoyable because the activities we did were suitable for energetic kids. Some difficulties were when the kids were fighting among themselves, or when they are distracted and don't want to study.
LO5 (teamwork): Build the English curriculum together
- gather from our own learning English experience, Japanese skill, resources
- hour shift idea
Food sale
We planned for this activity in 2 weeks. Minh helped me with posters, everyone helped me with the cooking.
Some problems were the timing to buy the ingredients, timing to cook the food (takes a long time), the profit compared to our labor.
We chose a nice day (advisory, dance party, not a project week weekend).
LO3:
- Create announcements, budget request, profit-mindset
Project week + Plannings
During Project week, we focused on planning for our October trip planning, English camp, and polished up leadership camp.
LO2:
- learn about manners of requesting for budget or help from someone (prepare carefully)
- categorize task (urgent, important)
LO5 (collaboration):
- taught and introduced my friend to use effective methods of presenting information
