Reflection

The key question of this topic was the 4 questions above. I think this topic is important because we need to know about our Earth more. It's also may help us for our future job, like being a geologist. The most I enjoyed during this topic when we learn more about cyclones from Ms Glenda because I didn't know anything about cyclones and I was able to ask the questions that I want to know. Also, I enjoyed doing the Hazard Fair because it developed my teamwork skills and I learn more about tsunami by learning from the internet and other resources. I really enjoyed this topic a lot. I used quite a lot of skills in this topic, like teamwork, organize myself, plan and research, and creativity. The key idea I think people should be aware is that they should know how to protect themselves from the natural disasters. I rate myself for level of knowledge and understanding :), for progress :D, and enjoyment :D. The three targets I could set myself to help me making progress in my learning are organize myself by setting deadlines, planning like for the Hazard Fair, my group should have decide a final decision, not slowly keep adding new ideas, and develop more for my learning, not just research the basics.
