The cost of Greed

By:Sarang
Indus International School,India

Q1)I really liked the idea of doing a peom. Sarang has used rhyming words in his poem(which I find very hard to do) so it shows us that he is open to the English language. I really find that his poem was unique in its own way and I don't think that there is anything that I dislike in his presentation.

Q2)I think that the effort that Sarang put in was really brilliant. As I mentioned before, he has used his English knowledge in a simple yet effective way which made his poem as unique as any other. I really don't know how he could have done something better in his presentation, and I think that it is very good.

Q3)The points he used were quite strong for he started his peom by telling us about the peaceful world at the begining of time. No one was at war with anyone, no one hated anyone, no one hurt anyone and no one cheated anyone. But then, when man started devising plans, his plans did involve hatred, hurting, cheating and stealing. In Sarang's view, that was how war began.

Q4)Yes, I do agree with the conclusion because, as Sarang mentioned, we are trying to make peace between each other and between ourselves. We are trying to right the wring but, unfortunatly, we are late.

Q5)The presentation talked about how man was peaceful with himself and with the others. He helped others everyday, "his heart was pure and filled with garce", "calm and kind were his ways", "taking from nature only what was in need, he didn't grab more than that, for he was not filled with greed."
Yes, the conclusion was resonable and filled with evidence for today is the evidence of Sarang's conclusion.

Q6)Yes, I would have agreed to the point of view that Sarang used because it is resonable and as I said before what is happenning today is completly supporting Sarang's conclusion.

Mrs. Rajas has asked us to do a task. Here is what we have to do:

Choose two presentations and answer the following questions

1. What did you like/did not like about the presentation?
2. What did you think of the effort the students put in? Could they have done better? How?
3. What were the strong points abouut the discussion?
4. Did you agree with the conclusion? Has it prompted you to reflect on the issue being presented? Explain.
5. What was the contention of the presentation? Was the conclusion resonable and supported by evidence?
6. If you were asked to respond to the essential question would you have agreed with the point of view of the student? Why or why not?

When Aliens Invade

Q1) I really liked the idea of using a drawing because sometimes pictures are more effective than just plain words and it certainly is less boring because it goes to the point straight away. I also liked the way the student summurized all that was needed to say in the small paragraph on the top. I can't really think of anything that I don't like about this drawing because it all looks simply splendid.

Q2) I think that the student has really put in a lot of effort because just thinking of the idea would have taken some time. The student could have used darker colours to symbolize more hatred.

Q3) The strong points about the disscussion were the border that the student drew and the idea of the people with the ripped clothes and the people in jail.

Q4)Yes, I do agree with the conclusion because it really does show us as one of the very dangerous (probably most) creatures in this world. And believe it or not I think we are.

Q5)The contention of the presentation was the drawing of two people(resembling two sides) fighting and shooting each other. It also showed how one of the sides actually had hostages(or so I think). It also showed borders which is true because instead of building bridges between the differnert countries, we are building borders.

Q6)Yes, I would have certainly agreed with the point of view of the student because it shows very clearly our way of thinking about each other and the way wars are occurring almost all the time.

The Value of Reflective Student Portfolio

Hi everyone,

A new school year has started and we are starting our new blogs. In this blog I am going to share my thoughts and ideas with you. This would possibly give an idea about who I am and what I do and so on. I would also be sharing my work and I am really happy to recieve your feedback, weather it was negative or positive.

This isn't my first time on blogger, for last year, my classmates and I started a blog for sharing the books that we have read during the year. We also wrote our predictions of what will happen.

I must say that I did enjoy blogger and I am looking forward to repeat this experience.
