Reflection: Week 15 & 16

IT'S FINALLY SUMMER

Im gonna keep my last reflection short and sweet.

Week 15:

It was our final week of class and I think one of the best ones! We had our last advocacy projects. We had to find a game or activity for our group members to complete related to our advocacy project topic. I think that this assignment was one of the best that we were assigned. On the last day of class we all went outside and reflected on the semester. It was kinda bittersweet. Everyone seemed to really enjoy this class! Everyone had the opportunity to say what they learned in the class or what they liked most about the class.

Finals week.

Obviously we didnt meet this week, but we were assigned a couple of last minute blogging assignments. Which I would take over a final any day!!!

Its sad to see the class come to an end. I have learned a lot reguarding the environment and I how I can help improve the environment and the earth. I look forward to making a positive difference!

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

Hannah's-Biking Barriers
I was trying to think of a bicycle-motorist accident, and I couldnt really think of one that involved a motorist. So I decided to mention one with just a bicyclist. In middle school a boy from my grade was doing jumps/going down hills on his bike. He came to school a week later from being in the hospital. During one of his jumps he flu over the handle bars and landed on his head. He wasnt wearing a helmet so he was injured pretty bad. He had a broken nose, lost his front teeth and had a head injury. I never thought a great deal about bike safety until that incident. That accident could have been avoided by simply wearing a helmet and not being so careless on a bike. Now I know just how important it is for you to wear a helmet and be aware of the kinds of things that can go wrong while riding a bike.

Erika's-Test your WaterSense
My final score was 980, I answered 8 out of 12 questions correctly. There was some interesting facts in the game that I didnt know prior to the activity.

Overall I really liked completing everyones activities I learned a lot of new and interesting facts!!

GOOD JOB GROUP MEMBERS!!

Advocacy Project: Online Peer Environmental Health Learning Activity

Advocacy Project: I don't want to clean my room!

Hello group! I had a bit of trouble finding an activity that matched perfectly with my topic, so I went with an activity that fit close to my topic. The game that I choose teaches kids how to recycle and promote a healthier environment which in a way goes with my advocacy project topic. Enjoy playing the game!

Help Anita clean her room and learn about how to recycle items in the house.
Play Game -Anita's ROOM

Reference for game: http://www.ecokids.ca/pub/index.cfm

Purpose: To teach and promote kids to maintain an overall healthier environment, by keeping their room/house clean and showing them how to recycle and where things can be recycled.

Instructions: Read the comic about Anita and her room, then complete the actitivy. There is 24 object in Anita's room that has to place them in the correct recycling bin. There are four different bins. They include a composting bucket, bottle and can recycling bin, paper and cardboard recycling bin and a garbage.

Its important for kids to learn how to recycle for numerous reasons. One reason is that it helps maintain a healthy environment which my advocacy project talks about. Another reason would be for kids to learn the importance of recycling and the positive effects that it has on the environment.
