If biography done: 2) Reflect on Entire Project

I find the entire project extremely helpful and it really helped me understand and grasped a better understanding of the world. In this topic, I realised that some cruelties are actually very painful, both mentally and physically, yet not a lot of the people in the world know about this. I felt that this topic really made me challenge myself by putting my emotions and predicting consequences so I would make this as realistic as possible. In the end, I felt that I learnt a lot of things and achieved a lot of goals that I set.

Here is my mind map of the Thinking Skills that I used! You can zoom in if it is hard to see!

You Zhen 9X Reflection

These are the self reflection questions and answers:

Humanities Self Reflection    What was the key question of this topic?                I think that the key question of this topic is "What are Human Rights?" In one paragraph write an answer to the question, thinking about what you have learned.                I think Human Rights are something that everyone should be entitled to since birth, but unluckily, not everyone in this world has that entitlement. There are so many issues in the world right now that are caused by people taking away certain rights away from people. People suffer everyday because rights are taken away from them and certain people will take advantage of them. Why do you think this topic is important?                I think that this is topic is important because after all, Human Rights are something we are entitled to. These rights are one of the most basic necessities of every human being. We also learnt which people don't have these certain rights and why. This is important because people have been taking away other people's rights and they need to know that all humans are born equal. If everyone was educated about this, the world's issues would drop by a lot. Which learning opportunities did I most enjoy doing?  Why?                I enjoyed writing the biography a lot because well, I enjoy writing. I also find that I use a lot of thinking skills when I'm writing. I was able to use my imagination to write stories, and used a lot of empathy. I found that when I wrote the biography, I was learning a lot and was able to understand more about my issue and how the person feels. Which learning opportunities did I least enjoy doing?  Why?               I didn't find anything that I least enjoy doing, but if I had to choose one, I would choose the part where we were analysing the History of Human Rights. Partly because, well, I find it a little boring. But that is it, I found the rest extremely informative. What skills have I used? Include 3 examples of work that show these skills.                Refer to the mind map I made! How can the learning in this topic help me in the ‘real world’?                I think that it can help me by showing me the rights from wrongs. Human Rights is a very important topic as people who caused genocides weren't taught about Human Rights and how everyone should be equal. What key idea do you think people should be aware of about this topic?                I think that people should be aware of how many people are suffering in the world right now because of loss of Human Rights. It is also an extremely good idea to teach them right from wrong and tell them that everyone deserve equal rights and everyone should be treated equally. Rate from 1-5 (with 5 being extremely happy and 1 being very unhappy):                Level of Knowledge & Understanding: 5                Progress:                                                   5                Enjoyment:                                                4 What targets could I set to help make progress in my learning? Try to link them to your humanities learning and the key skills you want to develop.  E.g. Try to use key terms in my answers, try to ask my own questions. 1. To P.E.E.L. (Point, Evidence, Explain, Link) more in my work. 2. To plan and organise my time and work so that I can do it accordingly and not mess it up so easily. 3. To co-operate and communicate with other students to create success criteria more often.

This is my self-reflection and I learnt a lot during this topic!
