Identify: Which IB value or attribute motivated you to take part in this project? and Analyze: How is it reflected in the actions you proposed?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

Reflectives because it made me realize that the problem is important to the planet and to the contry so I need to know what is the problem that our country is facing and how are we trying to fix it.

Identify: What was your role in this project, and why is it important for the community and its environment?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

I was the one responsible to look for the solution to the problem we were assigned with. Without that solution my work would be incompleted and my group would have a bad grade.

Analyze: How did you take part in group conversations when organizing the project? What did you contribute in those conversations?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

I communicated to my group what I had researched and how we could implement it to the poster. We also organized who had to do what and for when, so that we could organize correctly and be able to finish everything on time.

Analyze What did you learn about yourself while working on this project? And explain: What did you discover about the community and its environment?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

That I am good at researching stuff for a group project, and that I have a very very bad hand writing. I discovered that communities near ecosystems and environments are damaging and perturbing the ecosystems.

Analyze: Why do you think the activity you designed can help the community and its environment? And explain: What did you base your decisions on?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

Because it is a simple activity that helps a lot and everyone can do it. I based my desitions on what was best for the environment and what was easy for everybody to do.

Identify and describe: What specific problem do these communities face, and how did you discover this need?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

This communities face the problem that over fishing is ending the local fauna and we discovered the need to stop that because it is disturbing the balance of nature in that zone.

Explain: What did other people in the group think about the project and how did you show respect for their ideas, even if they were different from yours?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

The other members of my group thought that the final poster looked very nice and organized. I agreed to do my partners ideas even though they weren't as mine.

Evaluate: What impact do you think your project had on the people in the school community? and explain: What signs showed you this impact?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

I think that my project didn't had an impact on the school community. Not because my project was bad, or incorrect, but because a simple school project isn't going to change the behaviour of a grown adult.

Explain: What did you personally do to make the project happen? And describe: What was your responsibility?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

I had to research about solutions that were already proposed to stop the problem that we were assigned. In addition I had to think of solutions or activities we could do to stop it personally.

Explain: How can your actions help change the way different people or groups contribute to these communities and their environment?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

By changing their consious about the problem and giving them a way a solution to change it and contribute to the problem the groups the communities and the people near that zone now that they know the problem and know how to help stop it.

Explain: What decisions did you make together as a group to organize this campaign, and how did you collaborate in the planning?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

We made as a group the decisions of who was going to bring each material, so that we could organize in time. What information ws relevant to the project and how the info that was useful would be organized in the poster.

Analyze: What did you do well during this project? and explain: What was the most difficult part for you?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

I did well my research and exposition as well as my organization of time even though I had an unespected announcement; that I had to bring a 1.5 meters square cardboard at the last minute. The difficult part was to accept my partners ideas when it came to my part of the project.

Analyze: What problems or difficulties did you face during the project? And explain: What changes did you make to continue?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

I didn't know that I had to bring a cardboard so I had to hurry the day after that I was supposed to bring. I had to stop doing some activities to make time to buy the cardboard.

Recognize: Who are the people or groups involved in this project, and how do they work together to reach a common goal?

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

They work together to stop overfishing and regulate their fishing economies and make others be more consious about the problem they are facing.

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

I showed empathy when I accepted my partners ideas and critics of what I did even though I didn't thought they were correct.

egarcia539 — 2025-10-02 16:35:11 UTC

To have a more important role in the development of my project and to have done more for it. A goal that I set for me the next time is : to be more interested in doing things to collaborate for the project and to help my group more.
