Making a mind-map

Today, we wrote about Poverty on the Ms. Ferra's padlet and I wrote these central ideas on the padlet.

The padlet

-Poverty forcefully take away their opportunities and rights of human.
-Poverty make people segregated and left out from the society.
-Poverty traps people routine their painful life. 
-Poverty leads people to the death and let them suffer.
-Poverty influence people's harsh life and harm their mental and physical difficultly.

-People can't change the cycle of the poverty and some people don't know the out world so they just satisfied about their life even though they are in the unacceptable situation.

-Poverty impacts them feel stressful and also hopeless about themselves.
-Poverty make people ignore by someone and make them loose lots of things.

After writing central ideas, each group made a mind-map about their topics. Our group was 'Gender Inequality' so we drew a mind-map about it. First, we drew the topic, gender inequality middle of the paper and we wrote examples of the gender inequality. For example, we wrote 'discrimination between girls and boys' and also we drew a line and connected to the topic. Then, we drew a lots of lines to connect the examples which are related to each other. And, everyone sticked them to the wall so everybody can see them. Each of them had a good job and their ideas were magnificent. Under the research skills, I group together information which we searched on the internet and we decide which would fit to our mind-map. Under the social skills, we did different jobs such as searching, writhing and thinking about what will be connect.

Group work

Today, the first thing we did was writing about team essential agreements on our own. After writing on ourselves, we got into our group and chose the best ten agreements with our groups. We got pieces of the puzzles and matched each puzzles. Then we wrote our names not to be mixed up and we wrote our weaknesses and strengths on the puzzles. Also, we helped each other letting them know what are their weaknesses and strengths. For example, I wrote 'share well' on my weaknesses and 'poor handwriting' on my strengths. We also decided our group name 'Girls N Boys' because because everyone in this group has 'N' in our names and our topic is Gender Inequality so we included girls and boys in the name. At last, we sketched our poster and chose the colour of the poster. Under the social skills, I listened to everyone's opinion when we decided the best ten team essential agreements. I accepted that the group decision may not be the one I wanted and I understood that groups need to stick to their collective decision to work well.

Discovering Groups and Key Concept

Today, we wrote the key concept question at the post paper and we sticked to the posters which were divided to 8 different key concept. Then, we wrote the answers of the question that we sticked couple of days ago. I was partner with Umi and I discussed with her about the answers of the question. After all of these things, we discovered who are the group members and the mentor.  Everyone were really concerned of this so everybody screamed and worried about it. Finally, I discovered that my group members were Yejin, Yoona and Tianruo and our topic was 'Gender Inequality'. Also, our mentor was Ms.Tilney who is Junior School principle. We emailed to Ms.Tilney to thank her to volunteer. Actually, we worried about it because we thought Ms.Tilney could be kind of scary, but when we saw her at the assembly today, we were concern that she is nice. Under the Self-Management Skills, I controlled my body to write neat hand writing and to stay good participation. Under the Self-Management Skills, I acted appropriately at all times and I respected other peoples' feelings and situations while I was meeting with my group members and also my partner.
