On the other day there was an English class in which we discussed a presentation. There are four 'houses' in the school and each had to do a presentation on different themes to indtroduce IB for the future students(10 and 11 graders). We had aobut 5 days to make this planned and initiated activity work.
Our group was the first one, since the themes were in order for a better understanding. We started from the core of the existance of an IB student: IB Learner Profile. There were ten of the profiles and each one of us had one or two of the profiles to explain. We agreed that I am going to make a PowerPoint presentation so I basically put a picture for each of the profiles, a title and put some animations in it. It took about a half an hour to look for appropriate pictures but there was no problem at all at the end. I think when the time came we all showed perservence and commitment in it, worked collaboratelivly with each other as a group, and considered ethical implications of our action. I think all the presentations were really good and the way we stood up in front of that many kids was calling for respect. We certainly developed new skills by working on the speech we were about to perform and we were happy to give service to our teachers. We sort of completed each other: the teachers needed IB students who might have a better understanding in such presentation and the smaller kids would listen to us better, and we gave a service in order to complete our CAS blog requirement :) It was fun, and I hope there will be more team-building excersises for us!
