WEEK 3 REFLECTION BY SHAWN CHOO

Facts : We all decided to use IMovie , to create a movie . In the Movie , we are going to talk about what are we going to do about the theme History , and the reasons of the questions that everyone came out with .

Ideas : We all came out with questions like why do Japanese wear kimonos , what is the history behind it ? We decided to rent a kimono to show it in the IMovie . We could also research on the culture of Japan and Singapore and compare them together and find out the differences .

Learning Issues : I have learnt that every week we have to finish the reflections or else you will suffer a penalty . I have also learnt that the presentation time that we are given is around 15 minutes which is shorter that I thought so now our group is having a hard time trying to show everything in 15 minutes . Plus , We have to create a Movie with around 5 minutes . That takes up 1/3 of the time we already have .

Action : I think we should remind our teammates to do their reflection in school . My friend called me however my line was busy . We should remind each other in school which is more convenient . We are going to find a shop that rents out kimonos . We will split the cost of it .

week 3 reflection by Darrence Ng

Facts:
We have came out with the guiding questions and we have decided to do a movie using imove to help us explain the reasons of why Japanese wear a kimono,wear clog and have rice that is sticky unlike Singapore's rice and some of Singapore's olden culture that bare in contrast with Japanese cultures
Ideas
We would use the guiding questions to help us with the presentation and we might have to shorten the presentation that I have picture. During the presentation,we would introduce what our project is about and the roles of the members in my group and what briefly on what we have done for the project.Then show the video to explain the reasons of the cultures of Japan and Singapore. Finally,we will start showing the comparisons between Singapore's culture and Japan's culture
Learning issues
I learnt that if a member does not do his reflection, the whole group we not be cost of their points for lack of team work which is totally reasonable.I have also learnt that the presentation should last only 15 minutes
Action
We will try to remind each other to do our own reflections and start doing the project more frequently and think of ways to get the objects for the movie ex.clog,kimono

Week 3 Reflection- Darryl

Facts
Our group has discussed and decided that we would use imovie to do our project, and the video will be used in the 15 minute oral presentation, which will be about 5 minutes long. We also have came up with guiding questions, that we will use to enhance our project.

Ideas
We have a rough idea of how our oral presentation is going to be. First, we will give a slight introduction of ourselves. Then, we will show the video, which contains the culture of both Japan and Singapore, the reasons for such things, and many more. After that, we will start to compare between Japan's and Singapore's culture.

Learning Issues
Our whole group has found out that if one of our group members does not do their weekly reflection, the whole group will be affected points wise, and the person who was so irresponsible will face the consequences.

Action Plan
After one of our members did not do his reflection, we decided to remind each other to do the reflection if we did not see it. We also exchanged phone numbers, so we all could be easily contacted.

Week 2 Reflection - Chong Jie

Facts
We have decided to do out project on Japan rather than Singapore. The reason why is because Japan has more culture, more history that we found more interesting to work on.

Idea
Our group can do research on Japanese Culture. Their art, their music, Japanese literature, and so on. We may also consider putting in comparison. We will consider using Singapore or China.

Learning Issues
We learned that working together is the key to success. Everybody has to chip in, in order to complete the assignment.

Action Plan
Our group will start working on every Tuesday (The designated IPW project day) Further plans have not yet been decided.
