Reflecting from a quote

We need to make sure we're all working together to change mindsets, to change attitudes, and to fight against the bad habits that we have as a society. 

Justin Trudeau

Reflection from a picture

Today discussion during homeroom time was regarding this picture. Taking into account the 7 learning outcomes how we can reflect about this picture?

Important reflections about limits of arts and ethical implications! What do you think?

Some projects go far

Ilan and Melania worked with a group of teenagers that were living at the Centro Mattei. The idea was to hang out together and to make a linguistic exchange with this guys that were living a difficult situation in our country as refugees. But was more than that, I will leave them to explain in this article that was published in "Zacrepublic!" a small magazine made by the Cooperative Arca di Noe to remind us that "asylum seekers and refugees are person and not numbers". Thanks to Ilan, Melania and Ms Chris (their advisor) for their commitment and involvement:

Creativity and relaxing!

I am sure you have heart about Mandalas (here some info). Have you though to "use it" for your CAS?. You can make a book of mandalas and to reflect about your relation with relaxation and creativity AND maybe you can use your mandalas to create decorations later!

Grade 12 CAS presentation

Dear Grade 12 Students and advisors,

Since your presentation is the First of March I just wanted to remind you about it. Here the e-mail I sent to you the 12th of December 2017:

Dear Grade 12 students and advisors, 

We are arriving to the end of our CAS programm. You have to submit your portfolio finished at the end of December (before the holidays). At this point, I would suggest you to work on your final presentation. The first of March (Thursday period 5) we will celebrate CAS by showing to Grade 10 and 11 your work. For this, you have to prepare a presentation that can be a power point, a video or a poster. This activity is compulsory and it will close CAS.

I am telling you now to have time enough to get ready. So, first of all check your portfolio (blog, diary entrance, Managebac, number of interviews...) and "clean it". After that, choose one experience for one of the strands AND the project.

In your presentation you will introduce you have to explain:

Why did I decide to start this experience/project?

In what way do I think I reached the learning outcomes I said I will?

What problems did I find during the process and how did I solve it?

Do I think it was successful and why?

Any questions please ask.

Thanks,
