How do you search for information on the internet?
well to search on the internet for information you need and what you want to know about, You should always list all the websites and links where you have gotten the information from, while you are researching. During searching information for your work or project you should always not plagiarize. When you get your information you always have to parafrase. You should know what you are taking from the internet and websites, or else you wouldn't understand somethings. Parafrase not plagiarize.

What is the difference between a factual and an interpretive question?
A factual question is when there is only one answer and it is a fact. But an interpretive question has more than one answer to the question and there should be different perspectives and layers to the question itself. An example of an factual question is How are volcanoes made? and an example of a interpretive is Why are people scared of volcanoes? That question is a factual question because there is only one way of answering how volcanoes are created and there would be lots of facts. Why are people scared of volcanoes? This is a interpretive because from this one simple question we can have different answers from different perspectives.

Belbin Results
1. From what I can see the differences between the results I got from what I thought and got there was no difference at all. What I thought I was were a Shaper, Team worker, and Implementer. The results I got were the same.
2. Yes and no at the same time. I disagree a little bit because there were some results that I thought which didn't represent who I am while working in groups or individuals. The results I disagreed with were coordinator and complete finisher. I got a high result or coordinator I am one at all and for complete finisher I thought I should have gotten a better result.
3. We balanced our Belbin roles by filling out all the top three and see who had the lowest and highest ranking for each Belbin role. We even balanced some by filling each on top of each other, like the results we got for the role plant and resource investigator were the same. So we showed that both of us were on the same level on those two Belbin roles. We showed who had stronger focus on each role like Youzhen was a greater shaper then me, but a lower level in team working.
4. The team wheel will help us alot because these is a key to tell everyone in your group of what your good and bad at. It tells us how you can interact and which ways best you can help as a team member in a certain group. The wheel shows what skills each person has. This will really help us because it can aware other members in a group of who can do which work, so basically it helps us split up the work evenly. We can spilt up the tasks by seeing the team wheel.

␣Belbin’’s␣Team␣Roles:␣
Plant (PL)generates the light of new ideas, Resource␣Investigator(RI)knows how and where to find resources & Team Worker(TW)helps the team pull together. Usually in groups when everyone is out of ideas, when nobody has any thoughts or if they are stuck on what to do next, and if everybody is speechless, I come up with ideas myself and everyone starts moving and begins to discuss again. In most projects I have done through school, practically every single project or task I have done, I have always done lots of research. I put down notes of which websites I get it from whether the teachers wanna see if I had plagiarized or just to go back and check again. I love to team work because it's very easy and everyone has to try to cooperate with each other and to communicate. I help others if needed but sometimes I can't solve every problem so the whole group usually works to together to solve problems.

Restless Planet
Why do you think our planet is called a restless planet?
I think our planet Earth is a restless planet because everyone knows every minute, and every second of a day that passes by there many things that are happening on our planet thats affecting the surface, people, atmosphere, weather, and the planet itself. The most reason of why the planet is restless I think is because of the different natural disasters like Volcanos, tsunamis, tornados, etc. Even the people on this planet is a big problem thats not giving the planet a rest. Everyday earth needs to give out heat every single day for us humans providing us everything, and other things. It's also moving and rotating on it's axis to keep it day and night for us.

Humanities Self Reflection
Humanities Self Reflection
What was the key question of this topic?
What is a Human right?
In one paragraph write an answer to the question, thinking about what you have learned.
Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination.
Why do you think this topic is important?
This topic is very important because it will help us and other people. It will help us by giving us knowledge of what different things people have to face through their lives. We know now that they suffer a lot everyday. We can now raise awareness and help others by asking them to raise charity and funds. To the other people this is very important and very helpful because lots of schools probably are maybe doing the same topic, this is very good because people who are out there that we are learning about of what and how they are living through are going to get a better chance of life if everyone keeps supporting these issues that are affecting everyones human rights. To realize and to be aware that lots of people in the world are having their rights being taken. Like child soldiers and others facing things that are affecting their work, life, health, and themselves.
Which learning opportunities did I most enjoy doing? Why?
The learning opportunities I most enjoyed was writing a biography/story. I got the opportunity to write/learn about something I wanted to. I enjoyed creating the story by myself being creative so that the story is great. I got to research about my issue and try to find an individual on my own to write about.
Which learning opportunities did I least enjoy doing? Why?
The learning opportunity that I least enjoyed right now is going to make the fashion clothing itself. It will be fun making and creating fresh ideas on what to put on the clothing and how we want it to appear like. But the least enjoyable opportunity is that it would take a lot of time and effort in putting it all together and creating a presentation for everyone so that we can raise awareness for our human right issue.
What skills have I used?
Include 3 examples of work that show these skills.
During this whole topic the skills we have used are information processing. We have used information processing when we research and collect information about our human right issue that we had chosen and information on an individual that we would like to focus on. The other skill that we had used for this topic was Evaluation. We had to use this skill when we were creating our posters so we could know what success criteria should we succeed for our whole ELP and biographies. We even used creativity for our biographies so that we can be creative of our stories not just informative. The last skill we used was enquiry which was plan and research for the whole ElP, topic, and biographies.
How can the learning in this topic help me in the ‘real world’?
So that when the real world comes and when I am an adult I can and I would choose a important issue to support by raising money. I could even raise awareness because I can take from what I have learnt from the school that I have been to and remember back of what have I learnt in school when I was still a student.
What key idea do you think people should be aware of about this topic?
The whole idea of this topic is that so we can gain loads of important knowledge about different kinds of human rights, history of human rights, writing our own biographies, and reasons why everyone should be equally treated the same. This was important and the whole idea was to help everyone who is being faced by all the global issues affecting human rights. The other key idea was to raise awareness to others about different issues that we were focusing on and to make them aware of the things a lot of people are facing through their lives.
What targets could I set to help make progress in my learning?
Try to link them to your humanities learning and the key skills you want to develop. E.g. Try to use key terms in my answers, try to ask my own questions.
1. I could ask more questions that will benefit me in my learning of what I want to know about.
2. I could have done my information processing better. By maybe next time taking a little bit more time in researching on what individual I wanted to focus on about.
3. When working as a group we all should have cooperated more together as a group. We could have discussed more about the whole topic which we did not do too much. I could have been more open of what my ideas were and try to help others about their ideas also.

Kausar Khan HIV/AIDS Story
- There was a forty seven year old mother named Kausar Khan and a father named Kumar Khan. They both were living in Mumbai, India. They were both parents of three children’s, living their son Danish, and their two daughters Rupa and Rita. Kausar wasn’t working that time, she was just a ordinary house wife. While Kumar was working in a jewelry store as the owner. Everyone was living a normal and happy life. Except that their kids weren’t give proper education, so they were home schooled.
- Until one rainy day changed it all... Kausar wasn’t feeling very well, catching a migraine. She was vomiting and in lots of pain. Immediately she went to visit a hospital hoping doctors would tell her what was causing this migraine. When she got to the hospital she got an appointment with a doctor named Dr.Kamal Sharma. Dr.Kamal started checking on her condition. While she was in the hospital her condition got worse. After several checks and tests, hours passed and she finally found out the cause of all this. She found out that she was a HIV positive.
- After hearing the shocking news from the doctor. Kausar asked where did the virus come from. The doctor started checking on her virus, The doctor asked for help because it was urgent, so there were three more doctors rushing in assisting Dr.Kamal Sharma. Three hours have passed and the doctors found out. They all informed her that she was contracted HIV/AIDS from her husband Kumar Khan. Kausar was in dead shock barely moving. She thanked the doctors for everything that they have helped with leaving her with some medical pills and the horrible thought she just found out. She went back home slowly.
- When Kausar arrived home from the hospital, Kausar met her children all thinking that she was in great health, but she wasn’t. She couldn’t tell her kids that she had a disease. So then Kausar informed her husband Kumar instead, explaining the shocking news she just got from the doctors. When Kausar finished explaining what had happened, Kumar knew and he had an ugly and angry expression. Kumar immediately abandoned the whole family leaving her with the responsible of their three kids. Kausar started to cry in misery and lost hope for the whole family, thinking of how she was going to support all three of them.
- Kausar thought for a few days in how to support the family. She finally thought that she could become the owner of the jewelry store her husband left her with, and from that day Kausar started working there selling jewelry. Weeks have passed from the day Kumar abandoned them all, Kausar started visiting hospitals to search for medical attention, since her health started to get worse. The hospital gave her some treatments but couldn’t provide her with proper care that she needed.
- As days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months, they have passed so quickly before her eyes. Kausar’s family started to face more and more problems each day passing. Business was very poor in the condition Kausar was in. She mostly took many days off, education for her kids was no more, and food source began to be limited. Her kids started to be sick and barely living. Kausar started to feel weak, and began to lose hope in life.
- As her condition turns more and more vital each day, Kausar started staying in the hospital as all doctors were worried that her condition would turn worse. Kausar’s children had to be left home alone with no one by their side, taking care of them. After a month staying in the hospital she got a call. The call was from an organization called U.S.A.I.D. The organization/program to make a difference in the lives of other HIV-positive people.
- But all this changed one day when she decided to participate in an organization named U.S.A.I.D. U.S.A.I.D is a program that helps HIV-positive people in the cities of Mumbai. Kausar began to carry on her life working with this program because she feels like helping others who were facing the same life as she was. She started to have two jobs but business wasn’t something Kausar worked for recently. Instead she focused on the program, but business wasn’t poor anymore as she sells slowly every week.
- Through a few years have passed, and Kausar got through supporting the organization/program all this time. After supporting the organization for several years, Kausar received free treatment at a USAID-funded drop-in center. She told her kids that she would be away for a few weeks and told them that she would come back better with a better health condition she hoped that.
-She had only a little but of money for the necessary treatment so she had an anti-retroviral treatment center at a local government hospital. She stayed for four weeks in the local government hospital. Being treated with excellent care and being served with injections and drugs.
- Four weeks have passed Kausar was so thankful to U.S.A.I.D for everything they have done for her and her family. Thanks to the prompt treatment her health began to increase at rate of which her condition turned to be perfect. She finally started living a new life.
- After the treatment she started her life all over again earning an income of about 2,000 Indian rupees about ($45) per month. She started to work everyday of her life, with no more problems taking care of her family. Everyone was happy and proud that their mom was once healthy again.
- Kausar Khan started to live a brand new life, finally able to support her children future by including proper education for them, food, and many things that they desired. Kausar Khan wanted to help others in similar situations to get better, like she had. So she continued supporting the program and organization.
- While she was continuing her life, Working and participating for the organization/program U.S.A.I.D she went under training in peer education and home-based care services for HIV/AIDS patients.
- After all those difficult and sad times, Kausar Khan started to go under training for a few months, She now works with HIV/AIDS patients, making home visits giving people proper care and encouragement during everyday of her life. Continuing helping others that are going through the same process as she had did form before.
- Kausar now lives with her son and two of her daughters. Both of her children are very relief and proud of their mothers recovery. They are all living with hope and a renewed love of life. They all thank U.S.A.I.D for everything they have done for their family and Kausar kept working with the organization through her life. Kausar said these exact words after the recovery of HIV/AIDS.“USAID has helped me to live my life meaningfully and to make a difference in the lives of other HIV-positive people.”
- Until one rainy day changed it all... Kausar wasn’t feeling very well, catching a migraine. She was vomiting and in lots of pain. Immediately she went to visit a hospital hoping doctors would tell her what was causing this migraine. When she got to the hospital she got an appointment with a doctor named Dr.Kamal Sharma.

How can a peer review of work be helpfull?
Having a peer analyze your work is very helpful, well there are many ways that checking on your peers work will benefit them. By checking and changing their spelling mistakes. Make sure their grammar is right and not wrong. We should check if their story line or the format in which they are writing correct. Tell them what improvements they have to add.

Refugee Assembly
The stories of each refugee that we all got to listen about were very surprising/shocking and sad. The stories were filled with so many emotions. I never knew that so many refugees chose Malaysia leaving their country for their lives. I was surprised that the only country that was there to stay in was Malaysia to insure of their safety and lives. I felt very sad for each of the refugees but now i know they have somewhere to stay and I know now that most refugees now have proper education. I am happy that they got through learning how to speak and write english. The songs were very great and touching. I didn't understand what they were talking about but it had an happy and sad emotion to it.

Human Rights Issue
In My group we have discussed about the topic we all agreed to. Our issue for this project is HIV/AIDS And Children. We all have chosen each different topics on what we want to focus on. My topic for this project is concentrating on the issue in India where thousands of kids are affected by HIV/AIDS. I have chose this topic because I find this interesting and very shocking that over millions of children are affected, I want to try something new this time. :3 !!!

Journal (12/10/2011)
The two issues that I have found interesting are the Child soldiers and the Rights for homeless kids. The reason why I chose Child soldiers is because I have done this topic from before when I was in Yr.6. I have done fun raises like sponge throws and selling bumper stickers/batch through out the whole school. Raising about 3,000 Dhs and then we donated it to War Child, an organization which helps children that have been affected by war. The reason why I chose the rights for homeless kids are because I think that they should be treated the same like everybody else, They should have at least a certain education for them to learn and they should have their basic rights.

Journal (11/10/2011)
We finished all our presentations by monday, The presentations from yesterday was very informative and useful. They were very interesting, facts that we never knew about people and what happened.

Yes our presentation is completed, All Information on both topics are included from start till finish. We included all links/Bibliography at the end. The Power point is completed and ready to be presented.

How do you think we should tackle learning about the history of human rights?
We already created the list of the history of human rights for homework. That list probably would help us remember what had happened during the history. We watched a great video in class about the history so that helped us to. We could create a class poster of a timeline and label all the different events, and hang it on the class wall.

Are You Happy With Our Ranking Of Human Rights?
Yes I am very happy with the ranking of human rights that we have listed, because we all discussed our ideas and reasons of why we ranked it in this order in our circle during class. We all voted and agreed that the human rights should be listed like that and we got through as class deciding how to order them.
Tuesday, 13 September 2011
Describe how you felt working in our circle yesterday?
The circle yesterday was very well because we agreed in so many human rights and accomplished lots of things. We broke down all the human rights in the list and created 6 human rights. We could have improved on because some people talked a lot then others so some people could have cooperated a little bit more next time. But at the end we accomplished what we need to. :3
Monday, 12 September 2011
Why do you think we could not agree on the ranking of HR yesterday?
Everyone didn't cooperate during the debating. Mostly not everyone discussed about their opinions and thoughts about the human rights that were on the board yesterday, and lots of people were confused during yesterdays lesson.

How Does The Movie Freedom River Connect To Human Rights
The Movie Freedom of River is connected to human rights because in the movie they were talking about Human rights that were taken away from the people that were living at the Freedom Of River. They had too much freedom so than the people took it away from them leaving them with nothing.

What is the most important Human Right?
I think the most important human right is the right for every person to live because, everyone was born for a reason and there would be no good reason to kill anyone/tell them that they do not have the right to live without them creating a massive or dreadful crime that is under the restriction of law. The second most important human right is freedom because, We all want to be free and live our lives as we want, we don't want to be under a persons command, but if we want to have freedom we just have to follow some restrictions under the law.

Right now I think that the boy feels sad, because he is knitting hundreds of soccer balls for really little pay and the boy has hopes that he would be playing soccer with kids his age instead of knitting hundreds of soccer balls for other people to play with instead of him that is his dream he is hoping that will come true some day. We could help the boy by asking organizations that campaign to ban child labor.

My Slave Diary
Entry 1
Dear Diary, Hi my name is kunta kinteh and I am from Africa, I live with my family, friends, and the whole tribe. I am Muslim, I don’t go to school and I have no education but I work as a crafts man to help my community. In my tribe we Africans are very talented in many different ways to create a community where every single men and women work to live along. The different types of skills we Africans have are craftsman as myself, I am fifth teen years old and I live with my baby brother and my mom and dad. My dad is a sheep caretaker and my mom stays home, she cooks, cleans, and fetches water and wood. And my baby brother well you know the usual stays at home with my mom after all he is still a baby.
Today I felt better because I recovered the cut I got from my hand from my knife, that I was crafting with last week. Today is a beautiful and peaceful day, now I can continue my work on crafting wood into chairs, tables, spoons, forks, etc. After crafting everything it was time for me to go home to eat, meet my parents, and go to sleep. My life is very simple, wake up in the morning, shower at the river, go to work and help the community, and go home, eat and rest. I have one baby brother and a mother and a father. I am very happy with my life because it is very peaceful and life here is very calm.
In my tribe boys have to go through men hood before turning into real men. Their parents take their children away from the tribe and take them into the forest for a few days to turn them into men. During men hood, you have learn how to fight and defend yourself and learn other important things you have to do when I turn into an adult. After learning everything about being a man, you had to be circumcised, my tribe says if boys scream when they get circumcised, you are not deserved to be man. After that you go home and celebrate of turning into a man and visit all my friends and family’s. After turning into a man you have to move out of your parents house and live alone in your own hut. You have to leave your parents and take care of your self, and soon my time will come one day of being a man. But I am going to live to be a teenager for a while before turning into men.
Entry 2
Woke up in the morning and suddenly someone grabbed me very tight I couldn’t move, then the stranger raised a sack over my head covering me and I couldn’t see anything, it was pitch-black. But before the stranger covered me I saw that he was black and the same kind as me. I was walking for hours with this stranger who grabbed me. I was wondering who he/she was, the reason why I have been kidnapped, is the stranger really my own kind, I feel fear of what’s this stranger is going to do to me. My legs were very tired of walking for hours and we were finally there. We stopped for a moment and I felt the ground with my feet and it was grass I’m thinking that I am obviously in a forest. I bumped into a person, I was lining up for some reason, I feel like I’m not the only on here. Everything was silent suddenly, and a man walked in front of me and took of the sack.
I looked in front of me and I saw a men from the very same tribe I am from, I was surprised and shocked. I looked around and I was really in a forest, I saw kids the same age, height and the same kids from my own tribe I see everyday in my daily life, I wonder what they have got to do with any of this, I’m thinking are we in trouble. Everyone started to freak out of where they are, suddenly a men walked up with two buffed up man beside him like they were his guards or something. The man started talking and he said that we are very sorry if we scared you, you are all here for a very important reason. You kids are here because it is apart of our culture to do this. I figured it out, the reason were here is because we are going to go through men hood. The man ordered us to go into a formation a circle. So everyone did what he or she was told. After the circle was completed, one of the guards walked through the circle and asked someone to come out and to wrestle him. Nobody had the guts to volunteer so then I volunteered instead. I stood up and walked towards the guard and charged towards him. I kept charging him but I missed all the time jumping trying to knock him down. I kept trying and trying but failed. After wrestling everyone went to rest, it was the end of the day; so far we have learned how to fight. I went into the hut and found everyone sleeping on each other and it was weird for a moment but I was tired anyway, so I slept with everyone.
It was morning and I woke up, everyone was gone for some reason and I was alone in my hut. I went out of my hut; showered and got dressed quickly wondering where was everyone. I went and checked everywhere, and then I went into the guard’s house and found everyone lying on the floor for some reason. The guards had their knives out and they said it was my turn; I was very confused and scared. What does he mean? . The man grabbed me and I was pushed down to the ground, they circumcised me. It was very painful, because there weren’t any painkillers in my time. After that we all went home finally to meet all my friends and family. We celebrated all day after going back home and everyone who just had gone through men hood had to move out of their huts and live on their own that included me. I went into my family hut and packed everything I was very sad leaving all my past memories in this hut. My mom was very sad, she was crying when I was leaving but before that she hugged me and waved bye.
Entry 3
I woke up in the morning thinking I should make a gift for my baby brother or for my mother. Last time I heard my mother wanted a bookshelf for her hut but she said she wanted my father to build her one so I thought what my brother would like and I know my little brother likes drums. So I went to shower and got dressed to go out and to hunt such a log to make a drum. I walked into the forest I found a very big and long log. I lifted it up off the ground and checked the conditions. The log was perfect and I carried it home, but suddenly I see two men from my tribe and a white man I see for my first time, I wonder why he was here. They started running for me and I ran away. I ran really fast but I couldn’t just leave my brothers log here so I brought it with me. I was getting slower because the log was very heavy and the men were gaining. Suddenly the white men jumped out of no where and caught me with his rope, they tied me up with their rough ropes very tight I couldn’t move.
The men carried me back deep into the forest till the end of the forest where there was a very fine beach. I saw a massive ship with white sailings and they brought me into the boat. The boat was filled with white sails men, must be the captains crew. Shockingly I saw most of the men and women captured as well, I was very terrified of what’s going to happen to all of us, shot, tortured? They got everyone onto the boat. The boat was very nice and clean, not any boat I have ever seen before. They took every men under the ship below, where they locked us in rusty old used chains. They were very tight chocking everyone. Chain for the neck, feet, and hands. They made us lie onto a wooden floor with several rows of them on top of each other. It was very dark down here and smelly, the place was dreadful. We were trapped and chained down here for days, we were only fed 1 a week with a plate of white man rice. Lots of men were bleeding from head to toe. Everyone was suffering, and we were stuck down here like it felt for ever.
Until one day their crew got down stairs and were ordered by the captain with very long hair and a black beard. They all released everyone’s chains and I wonder what was going on. This is a chance that I can escape, I was hoping I could swim to shore safely, but then we all went up stairs back onto the ship and there wasn’t any land, I was very shock that there wasn’t any land I thought to myself that the earth was gone. The bright sun light shined above us and the sea shook below us. The crew rounded everyone around and brought out the woman too. The crew was ordered to clean us with water and so they did. Everyone was screaming from the stings of the water. Everyone still had their wounds from the wood that we slept of for weeks. We were done showering, and then we were forced to dance to their song. We all danced to the song, and there was no way of getting out of this boat. Soon my time will come and I will plan to escape and have my freedom once again.
Entry 4
The journey took three months and I am finally out of the ship. Right after we got off the ship they took us straight to the pound/ cell, now I am stuck in a pound locked up and have no where to go. Just what I thought caged forever. They were dragging girls out of the pound, they were screaming for help. They took greasy oil and oiled them all. I see woman and young girls being sold to other men and woman. Soon I am going to go through the same process of horror where I am going to face in front of the white audience.
I am scared because I wonder what would happen if I am taken from one of them, I am confused because I don’t know what they are doing up there, and I am nervous to get up there to face the audience. After all the woman were sold I was the only men that was dragged out of the pound. I tried to hold myself back but I was already on the stage. I was very frightened because lots of men went over me and grabbed my face and checked my teeth. The very annoying thing was that a man was talking really fast. I was taken by a men who bought me and I was very furious and scared. The buyer grabbed me and I went into his limo. It took us about ten minutes to get to his house.
We arrived and we got out of the fancy white limo, and I followed him into his fancy house. He asked another slave just like me to show me what was my job inside and outside the house. He told me that my job was to cook and clean inside the house daily, and to work in the boiling hot sun in the plantation twenty four seven. I had to plant seeds, rake the leaves, water the plants, and watch my friends suffer, getting whipped by other man. The hearing of the lashes make my eyes water.
After a whole day of difficult and intense labor, the man dragged me and hanged me with ropes tying my hands. I was hanged off the ground and a man called Bruno brought a whip along with him. He said that your name is now Jacob and he asked what is your name. I answered back my name is Kunta Kinteh. He took his whip and whipped me on the back. I screamed out loud on the top of my lungs. My skin was shattered away from me. He kept asking the same question and I kept getting whipped harder and harder, until I gave up and they cut the rope down. I had twenty permanent scars on my back, that was the first torture of my life and I will be getting more of it every single day. There is no escape and an end to this nightmare and I will be stuck here till the day I will die.

Eco-Friendly House
My Eco-Friendly House
My house that I have designed is an Eco friendly house because I used different types of resources for the house so that I wouldn’t destroy the environment.
What can you do to help environment?
Elp Reflection xD
I think I am currently on explain. My 3 targets for development are adding up more examples to my model to make it more Eco-friendly, put some more detail to support my designs, and to structure the explanations of the model. :D

Field Trip
 |
| On the bus to Cherating |
 |
| Another activity (water crossing) |
 |
| Activity ( laser rope) |
 |
| View of apartments in Bukit Tinggi |
 |
During school we had a field trip to Bukit Tinggi and Cherating for 3 days and 2 nights. We went to Bukit Tinggi on the 8th of march. It took us 2 hours to get there by coach. We watched movies on the bus, slept, listen to music and ate snacks. When we arrived to Bukit Tinggi, we packed our bags and went to our rooms. The best part of Bukit Tinggi was staying with my 4 friends. We got to stay up very late, watching soccer, partying and taking pictures. During the afternoon we walked really far to get to our activities. Our activities were rafting, laser maze, water crossing, building a bridge and the capsule. After a day at Bukit Tinggi we packed our luggage and went on the bus for a 2 hour drive to Cherating. But it took a while for the bus driver to reverse, The driver bumped the back of a parking spot and made a huge scratch on the bumper. It took about 15 minutes for the driver to get to us. We took a few stops for everyone to eat. Finally after 2 hours we got to Cherating and the hotel was really nice. The rooms were small but they were nicer than the Bukit Tinngi rooms. There was a pool, beach, and lots of play grounds. We stayed there for 1 night and 1 day. Our activities were recording and making videos of the whole beach, then we had to finish sheets of work. The last activity before going back home was creating a Geo sculpture of different resources around the beach. After all the fun we had free time. During our free time, some people swam in the pool and others chilled in their rooms. After all the fun activity's and experiences we were going to go home on the coach for a 4 hour drive.
