Today I made the second rough draft of introduction. From the last meeting with Ibu Lisa, I found out a few things that I must fix and add more in my introduction, which is really helpful for me. Also, I almost have no difficulties in creating this introduction because I already have the clue how to make it. This makes me to have a better understanding about PP because I made the introduction based on what Ibu Lisa has told me, so I know what the expectations are.

Today, since my supervisor (Ms. Alison) hasn’t come to school yet, I talked to Bu Lisa about my introduction and goal. At the beginning, I said that I want to make a multi-purpose bag, but she suggested me to make three or two rather than one to make my personal project more challenging for me (but with the same pattern, to make it easier, of course). I was confused about how to make the goal and introduction. The result was the goal for my personal project is to create at least two dual function bags. Then, she helped me with construction my introduction, such as the relation with the impacts, and so on.

This opportunity really helped me to have a better understanding about PP because I got the idea of how to make my goal and introduction, also the expectation and the AOI. If I didn’t ask her how to make a good goal and introduction, I would confuse with myself with how to make it, plus my supervisor hasn’t come to school yet.

I can do differently by meeting a teacher or supervisor for discussing the personal project not during the lunch time. Today, I sacrificed my lunch time to discussing this personal project with Ibu Lisa, and wondered if I use my homeroom time (after lunch) as my lunch time (I’ll make my lunch time short, though). But unfortunately, at homeroom time Mr. Steve called all of the homework persons to gather in his room to have a meeting about the homework calendar, and I am the homework person for my homeroom. So, I didn’t get the chance to have my lunch that day, and I was so hungry. Next time, I wouldn’t sacrifice my lunch time again for discussing personal project (I’m trying to).

Today, I made the first rough draft of my introduction. Tell the truth, I didn’t really know how to make the goal and introduction. I wrote my goal in my introduction which – I admitted – not specific enough to consider as a goal. The introduction that I made is also short, only one page and I don’t think that it is enough for the introduction. But I just following the due dates and revise it later when my supervisor has checked it, so I know what I actually must do in my introduction and with specific goal.

The difficulties that I found are how to make the goal and introduction because I don’t have any idea or clue about that. I brainstormed how to make a good, specific goal. So I decided to follow the guideline that the website provided, and that’s helpful enough for me. This made me to have better understanding about PP, though.
