Week 6

Right now on the Relay for life website, it says that altogether, we have raised over half a million dollars! That is really good. The goal for the whole website is one million dollars - and we are half way there!!
In other news I have been working on the information for my poster, and have put some of the information on my blog (the tabs). Some of this information I will use, but other stuff I will just leave on my blog just for other information. I have planned out that I want subheadings in the poster so that it is easy to read and more fun to read than a big chunk of paragraphs.
Also, before the holidays, I plan to have all my research done and all my items collected so that I can create my final product on the holidays. That way in Term 3, I can reflect on my product and add anything else that I think my blog and product need. I will also need to plan, create and practise the oral for presentation in Term 4.
So far I have completed everything and anything possible that I can for my WISE project and have kept to my planning (as seen on my blog). I have used my time wisely, on how I planned how long I would spend on activities and what those activities are. One thing that I would change if I could, would be to raise the amount of hours I spend/spent on research for my poster. But overall, the rest of the time is fine.
In today's lesson, Mrs Churchill came around to everyone and we did a self evaluation of our WISE project for my report. We acted as a team to work out what effort rating I was and whether I was consistent, usually or needs help. I think that most of my answers were either consistently and usually. I also gave myself an effort 5. I gave myself an effort 5 rating because I do not think that I could have done much more in my event, blog, product and altogether project.

What now?


So now that the Relay for Life is over, on the day I collected some things that happened during the event. From these items, I will be making a collage of all the items and objects that I collected. This will be done on a piece of about A3 paper (I haven't decided how big I want me peice of paper yet), and so on the back, I will put information about cancer and the relay for life. I think that the coloured paper/cardboard that I might use is white, black, purple or pink. I might use other colours, but these colours are simple. White and black is effective without being to flashy and purple and pink represent cancer. I have measured an A3 peice of paper and it is quiet big, but I am not sure that this is the right size for my project. Also, I do not have any photos as the lighting was very bad and nothing in the photos came out.
