OMG! I am SO excited! Why? Only few more weeks until Graduation and Exhibitioin presentation day! My team have done almost 70% of our work and already have TONS of ideas to present our issue, Child Labor. Hyeon-ah and I are very happy with our progress and never falling behind in Exhibition. We hope, by next next week, all research is finished and start writing our essays. Please wish us good luck!

Discussion about Student Led Conference

https://welcometokcae.edublogs.org/files/2015/07/SLC-pic-1ipjo9p.jpg

Today G5 discussed about Student Led Conference scheduled on tomorrow morning. Student Led Conference is a meeting that students themselves lead the conference. Tomorrow Student Led Conference is going to be a great opportunity to explain what we have done so far for Exhibition. After I finish my conference and listen to Helen's conference, Hyeon-ah and I are planning to go to local stores to find materials used to make products and make the selling items at my house. I can't wait!😃

My new blob!

     A few weeks ago, we talked bout blob trees and chose which blob we were. Now we have to do the same thing; chose a blob that matches with me or my group. I chose the 2 happy blobs sitting together on a strong branch in the middle. I chose these blobs because Hyeon-ah and I are always working as a team and most of the times, we have a great outcome. It has been 6 weeks since we started Exhibition and we almost have half left to go so that another reason why I chose the most happy-looking blobs around the midle part of the tree.

What do I need to get done?

     Today's blog is going to be about what am I going to do in the next few weeks and a few goals for what I want to get done. Okay, here is our timeline:
     Today, our group fixed a date, a location and selling items and started a detailed planning for our Action - Donation Stand. Tomorrow, we will continue planning and meet with our mentor, Ms. Cairns to discuss the ideas or any concerns with her. Next, we will get permission from Mrs.Tilney or Mr.Secomb, so we can open a stall to donate money to stop and improve child labor by the end of week. Since Thursday is student-led conference day, Hyeon-ah and I are planning to buy the mterials for the stand and make the selling products. Helen has willingly volunteered to help organize the stall and make the products with us. From Friday, we can start to design our stall and plan our information hand-out for the buyers. We are going to continue on making Donation stand on Saturday. By the next week, we should finalize organizing selling stall, making selling items, hiring voluteers if needed and doing Action with great succcess.

     My goal is to finish all of these jobs in time and keep concentration on what should be done in each phase. I hope that on Selling day, we collect more than 10 Manwon to donate to World Vision Jeju because if we donate at least 10 Manwon, we can save at least two children by giving them help bring access to resources like clean, safe water, food and healthcare, one month education, community development and child protection.

My goals about my group's action

     Our blog mission today is to choose one of the following questions and answer them:

1.What goals do you have for your field trip? What do you hope to gain/learn? When do you want to go on your field trip by?

2.What goals do you have for  your research? What primary and secondary sources do want to use? When do you want to have your research complete by?

3.What goals do you have for your action? What do you hope will be the end result of your action? What is your goal to make your action sustainable?

I chose #3 which means I have to answer about goals for my Exhibition group's action. My goals of our action plan are to donate enough money from selling products at a stall located around the pod so we can give the money to World Vision which helps save people including children all around the world. When a person comes by or buy a product, we give them a brochure or bookmark explaining about child labor and how to stop it or improve their condition. I wish after the event we gather sufficient money and given out brochures to make other students join the action so we can help needy children including children who work in factories with harsh conditions.

My thoughts about note taking

http://www.doncooper.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/taking-notes.jpg

Today blog is about watching a video about note taking and we have to share our thoughts. 

I agree with the video because if I don't write notes, I might easily forget or not learn anything about the subject or topic. As the video said, "No notes, not much learning". 

A few things has changed about note taking in the last 50 years and document our research and thoughts in new ways, such as the use of various new technology, instead of pencil and paper or typing with a typewriter. We can use a voice recorder while we are interviewing people and take pictures about foot notes under displayed items in the museum. Also we can take note directly to computer while teachers gives us lectures.

One attitude or learner profile that I used the most

     Today was a busy day. I came back from Hong Kong very early in the morning and went to U.S Ambassy for a visa interview. Right after that we went to the airport to catch the plane to Jeju but it didn't turn out so good. The flight got cancelled because of the bad weather so we had to go back to our Seoul home. Before that we had to wait hours and hours to find out whether we can go to Jeju tomorrow. While waiting and walking with several luggages, my mom looked really tired.
     I thought I could help her so I took her backpack even though she said it would be heavy. I just wanted to share her burden together. And I put some snacks to my mom's mouth to cheer her up. Also I brought my sister to the bathroom while she was waiting for check-in luggage bag. My mom told me that she appreciated I was caring for her.

     I used Caring in learner profile today, even though I didn't exactly realize that I used Caring. I was doing what I should do. During this week I would like to use Enthusiasm. I will enjoy every part of Exhibition learning and actively participate in researching and action plan. 

     Now I want to go back to Jeju and see my friends. I'm dying of boredom.😫😭
