STEP UP AGAINST BULLYING: reflection
The prezi, "Step Up Against Bullying" was part of the second Think Tank Project. In our second Think Tank Project, we had to come up with a presentation demonstrating that bullying is a serious problem and there are ways to stop bullying. My job was to set up the prezi. I had to organize my group's work into a slideshow so we could present it to the class.In order to set up the prezi, each member of my group read a few articles about bullying and took some notes about it. After taking a few notes, we each summarized what we read. I took the notes from each of my group member and set up one slide per person. This assignment was important because it made me realize that bullying affects everyone- bystanders too. Presenting the prezi to the underclassmen made it meaningful to me because I felt that I have changed someone's life. I did not know that many people are not aware of the bullying situations at school. I now know that many people, especially the underclassmen, do not understand the bullying situation that's going on at our school. I'm glad that my group had the chance to go speak to them about bullying.
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS ON ANIMALS: REFLECTION
The prezi, "Environmental Effects on Animals" was the first Think Tank Project that was assigned to us. This Think Tank Project gave us the opportunity to talk about any situation that is happening in the world. My group and I chose to talk about the environment and how it affects the animals and its habitat. I was assigned to organize my group's work into a slideshow so we could present it to the class. In order to set up the prezi, each of the members read a few articles about the environment. We read articles about the oil spill, pollution, and deforestation. Each of the members took some notes and summarized what they read. I took each of my group member's notes and set up one slide per person. This assignment was important because my group members and I believe that no many people understand the effects of pollution or deforestation and how it effects the animals. Presenting the prezi in front of the class made it meaningful to me because we passed our knowledge about environmental effects on animals to others who don't know much about our topic. I did not know how big of an impact deforestation or pollution was to the animals. I now know that people should take more responsibilities and clean up their acts. We should think twice about our actions.
