What did you do?
Today we have meeting with parents so that the parents know what their children are doing: Personal Project. After that, we went to the gym to take a look at the grade 10 Personal Project, and we have to interview at least 3 of them. I interviewed Tia, Winny, and Elita. After I've interviewed the 3 of them, the best 2 of the grade 10's personal projects have their explanation about their product and also the process, the 2 of them are Joshua and Elita. After we see the exhibition, we went back to fill in the questionnaire about the introduction to the personal project, which includes such as our hobbies, interests, and others. After that, we also fill the other questionnaire and made 3 of them, which was getting started. In this questionnaire, we fill in what we want to do for our personal project, how, and other stuff.
Interview results:
- Tia
Goal: influence people to avoid crime.
AOI: Social & Health Education.
Process (Steps to achieve goals): take pictures, make the book [in Kemang], use special kind of camera [for photographer].
Difficulties and Solutions: in-text citation, clear goal and detail, complete process, meet supervisor frequently every 2 weeks (discuss problems also).
Advices/suggestions for grade 9 students: make what you like, don't make something that you think it's easy but actually it's not what you want.
- Elita
Goal: promotes character building for kids.
AOI: Homo Faber and Health & Social Education.
Process (Steps to achieve goals): tutor, drawing, scan, coloring using Photoshop, using flash to moving it.
Difficulties and solutions: making music and drawing, solved by having tutor.
Advices/suggestions for grade 9 students: see supervisor frequently.

Goal: To design and create cloth with specific theme: Gothic.
AOI: Homo Faber.
Process (Steps to achieve goals): design, pattern making, cutting pattern, sewing, finishing (laces, buttons).
Difficulties and solutions: time management and equipment.
Advices/suggestion for grade 9 students: use school's equipment and be time managed.
What difficulties did you find? How did you solve it?
The difficulties that I found is the internet connection. I can't connect to the internet but my friends can access the internet. So, I have to ask my friends to give me the file that must be downloaded. Beside that, when I did the third one of the getting started questionnaire, I don't know what to do again, I have no idea (I have brainstormed many times). But then later I found something interesting, making accessories. But that would be my least priority, because I like doing the brownies or cloth/bag better.
Were all the activities lead you to have better understanding about PP and its expectation, Areas of Interaction?
All the activities made me have a better understanding about PP and Areas of Interaction, especially when I interviewed and saw the personal projects that grade 10 did. Beside that, I also fill in the questionnaires and send it to Ibu Nalia, hope that I know what I'm supposed to do based on her feedback.
What can you do differently?
I can do differently by asking more questions when I was interviewing and interview more people so I could learn more experiences, information, and other stuff that might be useful. Beside that, maybe i could brainstorm more and think out of the box when filling the questionnaires.
Define new perspectives that could be investigated further through future inquiry into the topic/theme.
The new perspective that could be investigated further through future inquiry into the topic/theme is to think out of the box and brainstorm more about what I like and what would I love to do for my personal project, because it is not an easy decision.

Reflection Day 2: 27 May 2008
What did you do?
Today I did a small personal project with my group. Firstly, we decide the goal and the project first, and others. The project that we did was making a regulation of using the papers. Then, we make the project and divide the member of our groups into several tasks. While Putry did the journal and I did the research, Bima, Hezkiel, and Aldilo did the interview. At the end of the day, we did a presentation about our project, which is using Power Point. I think it was a success.
What difficulties did you find? How did you solve it?
The difficulties that I found is that the limitation of time and the need of more time desperately. But then those problems were solved because I managed my time wisely and finish it on time. Almost when we were going to show our presentation, just like 5 or 10 minutes before, I was busy with making the presentation. Then I success to finish it on time.
Were all the activities lead you to have better understanding about PP and its expectation, Areas of Interaction?
These activities that I did today make me have a better understanding about PP and its Areas of Interaction. By making this small PP, I know how hard it is to make PP and what things that are needed to make PP. I think it is already hard to make the small PP, and how about the real PP? I think it has a lot of work to do, and a lot of time to spend. I understand more about the Areas of Interaction by apply it into my small PP.
What can you do differently?
I can do differently by search the information in the book, so it would be more variated with the resources, and more reliable. I also can do differently by brainstorm and input more ideas and information to my groups' small personal project, and better to make it as a booklet. But we don't have much time to do that, in fact, we just use a presentation to show it to the people.
Define new perspectives that could be investigated further through future inquiry into the topic/theme.
The new perspectives that could be investigated further through future inquiry into the topic/theme are by doing a booklet, a blog, a forum, a poster, or others. By doing these severals new perspectives, we can show it more variated.

Reflection Day 1: 26 May 2008
What did you do?
Today the teachers explained to us about the Personal Project and its information that we needed to make it, such as Areas of Interaction, Personal Project criteria, watching movie [Pursuit of Happyness], and make a presentation about one of the AOI.
What difficulties did you find? How did you solve it?
Difficulties that I found is when we were trying to download a file from the internet [the Cow and Goat Song], it was so slow and sometimes the page cannot be load. So we solve it by sharing the file through the USB and spread it efficiently. Well, it took a pretty long time to did it.
Were all the activities lead you to have better understanding about PP and its expectation, Areas of Interaction?
Yes. At first I was clueless about the PP. And through the activities, such as the explanations and the presentation, I have a better understanding about the PP and the Areas of Interaction. I also have a better understanding about the criteria [even it is unexpected].
What can you do differently?
When the time of making the presentation, we, as a group, want to do a Power Point but we found out that there's something that we can do differently, which is by doing a drama.
Define new perspectives that could be investigated further through future inquiry into the topic/theme.
The new perspectives that could be investigated further are by having more relations and connections so I can get the information more, 'think out of the box' and be creative, dare to move, do a investigation, taking a risk, and many others.
