8th Week reflections

This week we were scolded for making a bad survey and doing this and that wrong. We had a bad start but we still managed to survive in the end. This week, we watched some video that had to do with Global Warming and re-did the whole survey. It was the week before exams so we did not do anything much. We will confirm to do 5 podcasts. 7 is a big bonus as we did not plan so far ahead.

We were also told when our deadlines were and are going to start on the project.

More Information-Clean Air in Asia

Some of these little ways are very helpful. Here are some ways.

1) If you have a vehicle, test it regularly for emissions

2) Buy a more fuel-efficient car. An example would be a CNG car (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_natural_gas)

3)Use Cleaner fuels

4) Walk,cycle or use public transport more often

5)Reduce electricity and energy usage by turning off the air conditioner

Although these may seem to be very little things but by more people doing these, the world will be a more cleaner place!!!!

More Information-Clean Air In Asia

20 years ago living in some parts of America, the air is so polluted. Nowadays, it's hard to name even one city in developing Asia that does not have an air pollution problem. But smoking is something is something that people do by choice, breathing filthy air is not.

Air pollution affects the most vulnerable: young children and the elderly.
For example:
If you live in Guangzhou,China, your chances of getting lung cancer from polluted air are greater than getting the disease from smoking.
Yet while ample anti-smoking programmes exist, environmental health is still not a priority for many governments, donors and foundation. The most significant pollution are the transport, industrial and power-generation sectors, which all cause air pollution in many forms. Fine dust, called particulate matter, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particulate_matter) penetrates deep into the lungs, increasing the risk of contracting respiratory illnesses. So the main point is stop all this environmental pollution. In my next post, i will post these little ways of making a huge difference.

Reflections 7th Week-Jianwen,Qi Han,Zi Hao

Jianwen
" We have progressed quite well for the project. We are going to conduct a survey on the topic "Global Warming". We discussed the questions and came out with some questions in a funny way.We added in Singapore slang in certain of the questions so as to make the survey more interesting.If not,by the 2nd question, the person would be regretting for taking the survey."

Zi Hao
"We have done a survey on Global Warming. We did not talk alot during the discussion and gave good ideas"

Qi Han
"I think that we have done pretty well for this week's IPW. We worked on the worksheet that required us to make a survey."


Okay, here is it! The U.Wolves Legendary Global Warming Survey. This is also the required survey that we are supposed to do.

U.Wolves Jianwen,
Have fun!

Refections for 7th week(William)

This week we learnt how to conduct surveys and what were the main points of making a good example of one. We will try to complete the questions on Friday and send it to our teacher in charge to have a quick look at it before we paste the questions on the blog for the rest of the world to see and post their answers. We have to collaborate the information at the end of the day and organize it into different groups and represent it into a bar chart or graph. Finally we have to conclude what our information has to say. After all this is done we should be into the 10^th lesson. If possible, we would like to get 100peoples opinion and the target group is primary4s. This week our teacher came back from a course and lessons continued.....

Reflections 6th Week- Whole Group

William

"I like IPW lessons, but my teacher did not come. We still made progress though. This week we did our project planner. We decided who were doing what podcast. Jian wen was giving out the work and deadlines. It was then settled that we would be doing 7 podcasts in total. We would do an individual one, one with another person and a group effort. We sort out deadlines and tried to make it all before the mid year examinations. "

Qi Han

"This week, our IPW teacher was absent and hence we had to go to the other IPW teacher group to conduct our lesson. On that lesson, we had assigned our job for each one of us. We also fixed a deadline so that we will try to save time. We had also fixed a date when we will start on our project, as we cannot afford to waste anymore time. Since then, we are going to finished the product in no time if we can follow the time line. "

Jianwen

"Our IPW teacher did not come thus, we went to join Mr Ganesh's group. We were pretty productive,where we split up into 2 groups, doing Planner A&B. We decided on the podcast and made the schedule. I hope we can follow the schedule and end things fast."

Zhi Hao

"Me and Jianwen do the planner B while William and Qi Han do the Planner A. I was the first person to make the first podcast. I hope i can make it interesting.

"I think did pretty well this week.We have come up with an idea,an podcast series.Though William wanted an booklet/book, the rest of the group did not agree much to it.Ms Latha suggested an podcast series and we thought it was an great idea!I hope we can work hard for IPW and global warming."

Zi Hao
"We did alot of things today.We went on to do a podcast series,which i think would be very interesting as the first thing that came to my mind was the famous "Mr Brown Show".I wish that we can do it together as a team!"

Qi Han
"On our lesson this week, we have FINALLY decided on our project. We are either doing a book and video OR a podcast which contains both video and words. We have also done our research about temperature change and will be doing our project as soon as possible to have more time to finish the project. Hope that our team will all do their best. GO FOR IT DEFINE WOLF! "


Jianwen,
work hard guys



U.Wolves Jianwen,
对你爱爱爱不完:D

5th week Reflections

I still strongly suggest that we will make a simple book about global warming. A video might take too long and we must go to different venues to film the video. I am just afraid the video might not be as educational as the book, which if done properly, can provide a wealth of information. But if my group still insists that we must do as educational video, I will have no choice but to tag along. We still can't choose which one. Our teacher suggests we do a podcast. Most likely we will be doing the podcast. We will probably a series, with animation and pictures to appeal to the younger ones.

4th Week relfections + Worksheet

Qi Han~~
"This week, we had decided to change our topics as if we are making a book about global warming, it will be too difficult for us and hence we change to making a video. Not only that people would be interested as they do not need to read such a thick book and they can also learn about global warming with all those video episodes we had made. People tend to prefer learning from video then reading book due to the moving picture in the videos which makes learning more fun.

You have come to the end of my reflections, hope you enjoy it."
Jianwen~~
"We had decided to change our plans and to make a video,instead of a book.We wanted to make a video that attach people's attention,like a commercial on the Television. The video should not be too long as viewers may not wish to watch it for a long time.So i hope we can progress far on this plan we had made."
