It looks like you had a really comprehensive discussion about different ideas for the educational project. I think access of public transport in relation to teenagers is an absolutely vital consideration. Your political party's name is very catchy too! Keep up the good work.]]> 2016-08-23 08:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/119313276 Today https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/119503532 Today we finalised the direction of our ideas and the course of our research and where we need to head. We dissected the issues caused by public transport and youth malnutrition

If you can link these projects it will work well but in order to get your message across as clearly as possible it might be better to consider focusing on one area in detail. Keep up the good work girls :)]]> 2016-08-24 04:55:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/119520285 Ms Papadimitriou 24/8 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/119520286 2016-08-24 04:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/119520286 Ms Walsh 25/8/2016 jwalsh16 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/119730991 A great broader range of issues to focus on - both are worthwhile. What is your final decision in regards to which issue you are going to focus on?]]> 2016-08-25 01:53:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/119730991 Today https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/119731338 We composed how we will connect both issues. As one issue we will raise about public transport is time management, we will explain how a lot of students don't have time for breakfast due to transport leading into our nutrition issue.

We finalised out group vision today and began gathering statistics about teenager malnutrition.

We were able to find many statistics and information about our issues]]> 2016-08-25 02:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/119732209 Ms Papadimitriou 25/8/16 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/119747056 I really like how you have connected the two issues that you were wanting to talk about. The idea of students skipping breakfast because they need to get to school is a really good one especially if they don't want to miss their bus or tram. What will be your specific project? If you are able to provide your party's vision on the padlet next lesson that would be great.

Today it was difficult to decide on cutting the malnutrition portion of our vision but we decided ultimately it would be beneficial.]]> 2016-08-29 02:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/120219758 Ms Papa https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/120261795 2016-08-29 10:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/120261795 Ms Papadimitriou 29/8 https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/120261800 Well done girls! I think it was a brave call to make this decision and likewise I think it is beneficial in terms of the time you have to present your key messages. The access to transport is a very strong case that you are able to campaign on and as I have said, the message you girls have formulated is clear and direct for your target audience. Keep up the great work!]]> 2016-08-29 10:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/120261800 Video and How to Vote card due https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121241688 Unfortunately we are unable to submit our video today as Alannah is away.

We've decided to submit the rest of our project on the weekend, at the latest. Our poster is complete. Communication is pretty good, improvement is always embraced. ]]> 2016-09-02 01:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121243265 2nd September https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121243354 Today Alannah was unfortunately away and she had both our video and our How To Vote Card. We tried to call her but she didn't answer her phone. We will get the video to Ms Walsh by Monday. Our communication could have been improved to avoid this situation.]]> 2016-09-02 01:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121243354 Ms Papadimitriou  https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121286218 Well done girls! You have been very self-reflective and this is a great skill to have in whatever you do. It is always very difficult when you have someone that is away but I think you girls will be fine for Tuesday. It sounds like you are on track with everything else and now it is really just about submitting it :) Look forward to seeing the video next week!!]]> 2016-09-02 10:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121286218 Post Campaign Padlet entry - Lucy https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121675825 - The lead up to the campaign was slightly stressfull. Friday was the most stressfull as we had a member away and a few issues. Luckily they were resolved over the weekend and we were able to come together to complete the task.
- The collaboration between group members worked well and each member was able to share their opinion and have their input heard. We managed to enjoy ourselves while completing work that we are proud of. 
- The main challenge we faced was Alannah's absence on Friday. We managed to overcome this by increasing group communication
- I liked the hard work that was shown through every group's presentations.

Our group were very organised and had great communication skills, this significantly reduced stress. The only set back we had was Alannah not being at school on the due date, she had the video and the how to vote card on her laptop. Alas, everything went fine. I liked how other presentations 'cut to the chase' and didn't over complicated their videos. This made it easy to understand and grabbed your attention - especially with the year sevens. I wouldn't do anything  differently, I think everything went fine. ]]> 2016-09-06 04:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121675858 Post campaign padlet entry- Ruby https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121676018 The lead-up to the presentation was pretty relaxed once Ms Walsh had our video. Filming the video and researching so that we had just enough information but not too much in the video to bore the viewers worked well. We did have trouble getting the video and How to vote card as Alanna had both of those and we were unable to contact her. We also changed our ideology halfway through and got rid of our malnutrition segment in order to fully focus on the public transport. I wouldn't do anything differently as our video seemed to go off really well and capture our audiences attention.]]> 2016-09-06 04:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121676018 Post campaign padlet - Alannah https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121676305 The leadup to the campaign was very hectic as I fell ill and was responsible for editing the video so the group fell behind one lesson at my expense. I believe our group worked well as we all had our part to play and had a clear image of what we wanted to achieve each lesson. The main challenge we faced was when I was away and left the group stranded as I was the one who edited the video. 

The other presentations focused more on presenting their vision through speech which I found effective as mass amount of information could be produced at once.

I also believe that the presentations were genuinely engaging. 
2) I believe that our how to vote card was effective as we came second due to a clear and simple how to vote card that was easy to understand. 
3) I believe that our video was engaging and displayed the effort that we put into the assignment. I think that we could have improved communication especially when group members such as myself were away. I believe overall we worked cohesively and I strived to make sure that everyone's opinions and views could be incorporated into our party. ]]> 2016-09-06 04:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121678863 Post-vote reflection - Mariah https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121678869 The Animal Rights Party won the election. It was tight between our group, Generation Go, and the winners, Animal Rights Party. There were no informal or donkey votes, I feel this is because the year sevens were instructed very carfully and understood what was expect of them. I do feel our how to vote card was effective, but perhaps it should have been made a little more eyecatching  ]]> 2016-09-06 04:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121678869 Post vote padlet - Alannah https://padlet.com/jwalsh16/jvvyu19yer9r/wish/121678894 1. I believe there weren't any donkey or informal votes due to every group having an engaging presentation and vision.

2. I believe how how to vote card was effective to demonstrate how formal votes work. Our how to vote card was eye-catching, colourful and informative.

3. I believe our group worked efficiently and our vision was unique and exciting. We enjoyed working together and that made the process a lot smoother. We did have moments of weak group communication but we made it through in the end.

I really enjoyed watching your video and I think you promoted your key messages really well. The issue that you picked was so relevant. Access to free transport is something that directly relates to the Year 7 experience and you were very creative in how you presented your key points. I loved the logo you created for Generation Go it was eye catching and a catchy name that people would remember.
