Survey conclusion

We came to a conclusion that many people are not educated on Singapore's own drainage system.
We intend to come out with a documentary to educate everybody about our drainage system.
We will take some reference from various videos and websites. Please look forward to the decade's most anticipated documentary.
Coming soon in GV and Cathay.........

Reflection 7, Daryl

On the 7th lesson, we were given time to do our survey. We managed to do some question on the survey and Benjamin was tasked by us to complete the survey. The questions were all agreed and thought by us. Our target for the survey is any age, as we want to know what does each people from different age group think and know about the drainage system. We hoped through the survey we would know what to do on our documentary and research in order to educate the public on the drainage system and its importance.

Reflection 6, Daryl

On the week 6 of the IPW lesson, Mr Tan did not come and Mr varrella took over. It was then i realize many mistake we had like our topic is too broad and is does not benefit the society. We were given time to discuss among our own to give 3 important guiding question and what our end product will be. In the end we came out with a documentary about the drainage system. We decided to use animation and normal video to be our end product, showcasing the drainage system and comparison with other countries and in the future.We also decided to do research and presentations. I hope we would be able to come up with a good documentary.

Refection 5 Daryl

Today everybody forget to do research because of Chinese new year. Because of this, we decided to set deadline. The research deadline would be on Tuesday, when all the other group member would give me their research and I would collate them. Today we did planner A and planner B. I would be collating and doing the draft of planner B while Benjamin would be doing planner B. Today I learned about the importance of planning and the distribution of task.

Reflection 4 Daryl

This is the reflection for the 4th lesson on the IPW lesson. today we chose the different things we want to do research on. Me and Alroy would research on the drainage system and Avery research on floods and Benjamin would research on Rainfall patterns.

Reflection 3

My group had trouble thinking of topics for our project today so we decided to pick a topic number and use it. We chose 28 and it was about rainfall and drainage systems. This is a rather interesting topic and i look forward to seeing the results of the research. I also hope to invent a product to help better the drainage system and make it a very efficient one, so in the future, no matter how heavy the rain, there will be no floods in Singapore.

Reflection 3

After much debating, we decided that the theme that we were going to do was "Rainfall and drainage system" We managed to come up with a lot of questions, hopefully the next lesson we would be able to complete.

Reflection 2

For the second week, we decided that our group name would be called "flying pigs". We came up with that name because it shows that we can do the impossible likewise, "Pigs can fly". We needed to come up with a theme for our project the next lesson.

Reflection no. 3 week 4 Daryl

Today our group finally thought of the topic by me choosing random numbers on the GRACE blog recommended topic and amended it a little. Our topic is: Study of rainfall patterns and floods in Singapore affect the flow and efficiency of the drainage system. I believe that this topic would be fun, interesting and can learn much from it. As for the product, our group is still thinking and discussing about it. I am confident that by the next IPW lesson, we would be able to start our research already.

Reflection 1

Our first lesson on ipw, at first i though ipw was going to be a solo project. I am really glad that we get to do our project as a group. I am really going to give it my all for this project. we started going through ideas about what the name of our group should be during the first lesson.

Reflection on 2nd week

In the last lesson, our group chose a name for the group, and it is called flying pigs. We also discussed about the topic which we would be focusing on. Starting we wanted to choose to research about the haiti earthquake but after much consideration we decided to leave it as plan B. We came up with many other idea but still could not find the perfect one. We decided to each think of one idea and decide the next ipw lesson.

Week 2 Alroy

Today, we discussed the topic for the group project but we did not come up with a final one although we did shortlisted a few topics.

Week 1 reflection, Alroy

Today we discussed our group's name and blog.. However, we still did not think of a suitable name for our group. Similar to Daryl, i too feel that IPW should be 2 periods instead of 2 due to the lack of time. Hopefully, we could d more in the next lesson.

Week 1

Reflection, Daryl

Today, we sat down and discussed our group blog and name. Though we still haven't be able to think of a name, so we decided on being group 1 first. I felt that IPW should be 2period instead of one as it was interesting but so much have to be done.I hope the next IPW we could do more.
