I had a lot of fun pulling this project together, it was a bit tough to find all the necessary materials but I had a good time looking over how far we have come since the beginning. I decided to use PowerPoint as I knew I could be most creative with it and not have to “learn as I go” with a new site, I tried to make it short but still include everything I needed, like for the front page, I used my collage instead of giving it a full-page this also made it less plain. I believe that in the future people studying the pandemic, looking at how a 12-year-old went from being at home and leaving the house to going somewhere tropical and leaving the house and having bunches of fun to literally not leaving the house at all will be interesting and make people understand how difficult this was even for people that didn’t have the virus. I am most proud of how my video came out because it took a long time for me to gather up the information (and a lot of space on my phone) but it was worth it in the end to see a grand total of 2 weeks and how things changed. I found it quite stressful/challenging during the fake news unit. Only because the topic I chose was probably unnecessary for me to be looking at and extremely worrying.

In humanities, We worked on three big questions, main topics being community, technology and food. I swapped between food and community, but in the end, I got really interested in how early humans reacted when they began having lactose. My biggest challenge was finding information off of the sites that were provided to us. Something that I really enjoyed was making the infographic and researching. Looking at the enzymes kind of grossed me out, but overall, I really enjoyed this project.

My homework is a mountain

My bed is the ocean

My books are a river.

Bath time is an oasis.

Family is a peninsula.

My fears are a forest.

My tears are a volcano.

My social life is a plane of land.

My room in the winter is a dessert in the summer.

My bedroom is an island.

I am from Dragon Bay, 1201 

I am from the youngest of three. 

The “nose goes” of who cleans the litter tray. 

The laughs, the smiles and the tears. 

I am from The International School of Beijing. 

I am from random 5 year-olds running up to me and asking if I’m Ms Nunan’s daughter, 

Then getting hugs from those kids all year long. 

I am from listening to Justin Bieber in Ms Krista’s classroom and listening to Hayley hum along. 

Singing we will rock you in math, and laughing with my friends. 

I am from Capital Paradise, 801,  

Watching Barbie a Mermaid Tale in the playroom. 

Making forts, and secretly bringing Tessa upstairs. 

I am From squishing into a single bed. 

I am from 72 Maple Lawn. 

From seeing a daddy long legs and claiming to find a bigger one each time 

I am from crying twice, once from joy when I arrive and once from sadness when I leave. 

I am from Dragon Bay, I am from Capital Paradise, I am from Maple Lawn. 

I am from HOME, Love and Family.
