For this new project I am going to take my lens (how trauma effected people live the rest of their lives)  to see how trauma was present in the Cold War and how that was present and challenging. I haven’t learned much about the Cold War before but I think that trauma will be interesting to focus on because of how much the world changed during this time, for good and for bad. 

What is interesting about this project to me is that we get to choose our medium which we communicate our final message. I think in all my time in PLP we have only ever done something like this once before, and even then there were some restrictions. For right now I don’t have an idea of what I want to do, I just know I want to take advantage of this opportunity. The final presentation for this project is going to be a presentation night where parents and who ever else can come and see our Explainer Video (from last project, Link to that : LINK ) and our final product from this project. 

We talked a little about my intentions last post, but it wont hurt to go over them again. 1. Quality in my work means putting effort into everything I do so that it meets a high standard. I take time to check over my work, make improvements, and make sure it clearly shows what I’ve learned. Instead of rushing to finish, I focus on doing things carefully and neatly, paying attention to details. This helps me create work I’m proud of and shows that I care about learning and doing my best. Understanding my work means truly knowing what I’m doing and why. I don’t just want to finish an assignment—I want to understand the ideas behind it so I can explain them in my own words.

2. Making sure my work is authentic means that it’s my own thinking and effort, not copied or done by someone else. It reflects my real understanding and creativity. When I make my work authentic, it feels more meaningful and helps me grow as a learner.. If you want more details into these two points and even some examples you can check out my last two posts. For this project I am keeping my intentions the same because I feel I need more time to practice them before I shift them into new goals.

Overall for this project I am excited to learn about a new significant event in the worlds history while practicing habits that will make me a better student. I look forward to where this project will take me!
