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.
