TLP Reflection

Hi! Today in class Mr. Hide asked us to write about what we think about the project. I think that this project has been very interesting because we've worked with lots of people in other different places on the world. We have exchanged information about our topic and we have also learned new things about what we are working on.

When in class Mr. Hide told us we were going to do a teen life project, I thought it would be like all projects. I thought we would just need to prepare a presentation in front of all the class about teenage life. I really didn't know what that had to do with class but I wasn't very enthusiasmed and I didn’t know what to expect either because I had never done anything like this.

In this project we have had to post and write about our research and other things in our blogs. The most interesting and fun part of this project is that we are working with totally new people. For example, I would never have thought I would meet someone from a far country like Malaysia in Asia. I have had a lot of experiences working with different people.

The people in my group about teen smoking are Yoko, Aron, Toni, and Ashley from Canada and Malaysia. My partner from my school is Eduardo. One of the things I did in this project and that I’ve never done before is making our project into a documentary. We’ve had to find public domain images. Public domain images are images with no copyright, so it has been kind of hard because we can’t just search for it in Google, where most of the images are copyrighted.

In conclusion, I have had many fun experiences with this project. I’ve worked with people from different countries and I have learned a lot from the places were they lived. For example, I’ve exchanged information with people from Snow Lake, which is a small town in Canada. Working with people from Malaysia has been different because since it’s an international school, there are people from all parts of the world, for example Australia. I’ve also learned to work in team work. Since we can’t meet at a house, we need to talk a lot with the other people in our teams so we all agree on what to do.

Finally, I have learned many things in this project and I have exchanged information and experiences with other people. At first I thought this project would be very boring like other projects we’ve had, but it actually has been really different from any other I’ve had done and I have met other people from other places which is fun.
