WISE- Reflection: 13.8.10

My WISE project has been a bit difficult at this stage, because the person that ran the fundraising, changed hands so i have had to re-send my order form. I have still been considering selling the cupcakes at school but there have been many people selling merchandise so it is getting a bit difficult.

Reflection- 30.7.10

Today in Wise i am again deciding what i will be doing as the other part of my WISE project whether it being:

• Going to a family friend’s house that has puppies, take a photo and laminate it to help sell chocolates.
• Helping out at the centre
• Make a Book
• PowerPoint and send it to all of year 9
• Posters to put around the school

I am setting my goal for chocolate selling, the least being 8. And the most being 15.

Reflection- 9.6.10

Today in WISE i will be thinking about what i will do to help the community and what i will do in the holidays that will relate to my WISE project. I will submit my fundraising sheet to the RSPCA so i will be able to sell products as soon as possible.

Today in WISE we talked about what we have learnt so far for example:
1. Persistence
2. Metacognition
3. Creating, imagining and innovating.
i will be taking notes on the history on the RSPCA and will fill out a form for fundraising.

Today in WISE

In today's WISE lesson i will continue to find a way at which i can help the RSPCA i had a few things in mind which were;

• Volunteering
  
• Fundraising

I will contact the RSPCA and find out what i can do. I will also continue my research on the RSPCA.

WISE lesson 6

Today in WISE i will begin to research the RSPCA and begin creating a book about the founders of RSPCA and the history of the company i will also find a way at which i can help the RSPCA.

Persistence means to me to persevere and keep going in what you are doing and to not give up once you have started something.

Hand held mirror; How can it be used in WISE.
It can be used for individual and reflective evaluation, It only gets a certain reflection of an item but it is enlarged and used for a closer and more concerntrated evaluation.

Metacognition- The rear view and side view mirrors of a car.

Review and sideview mirrors; how it can be used in WISE.

It can be used because it reflects the image from behind you, and they are " personally positioned by the drivers to provide the needed perspectives to guide process" They can be moved and changed to different angle for the driver.

Metacognition- The full length Mirror

Full length mirror; How can it be used in WISE

The Full Mirror allows us to see the full image. It also allows us to veiw it from all and any angle.

Reflection 1: Creating, Imagining and Innovating

This lesson was our second lesson in WISE and we focused on one of the habit's of mind which was Creating, Imagining and innovating. We were then given a paperclip and asked to create something different out of it, I of which came up with a walking stick and as it was quite small i thought about how it could be used for a mouse. We then looked at a sideshow of all different items which included balloons, wood, springs and umbrellas. For homework we were asked to think about three of those items and think about five different ways they could be used if you created them and used them in everyday life.
