I am a boy who loves to play on fields or a boy who loves to paint my life on a canvas but I am not talented in any of these things. Its always half way up the bar, there is always something that I am bad at which takes the pride of calling myself talented. Whether it&#8217;s football where I am good at defending but poor in controlling the ball or arts where I can draw masterpieces but paint horribly. Well, I am actually glad to have this unfinished pursuit to perfection; it gives me motivation to improve and work hard in every field.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing new places has always interested me, I love to go on unplanned expeditions. Travelling helps me to understand cultures and live a different life. \u00a0Every experience builds me block by block. I love meeting new people, interacting with them, eating with them, talking to them, laughing with them but most importantly smiling with them. I would love to go on a world tour with no money and devices with the people I love.<\/p>\n<p>My outlook on life<\/p>\n<p>Everybody sees life differently, I see it in a very simpler way. Like everybody I want to be happy and the sole purpose of living is to be happy. I am more of a go with the flow instead of planning every second of life and living on the hands of the clock. I like to live on the cliff where I will never know what is coming for me. Life is unpredictable, so live with the people who makes you feel comfortable and force you to live the next day. According to me, life is chance for us to grow and not individually but together.<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Activities<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Components (C\/A\/S)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Duration &amp; Start\/ End Dates<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Learning Outcomes<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Savarkundla Trip<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Creativity, Activity and Service<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">(9\/8\/2017-9\/11\/2017)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">L1.Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">L2.

Tutoring classes would be conducted before the school hours, thrice a week till 8th August and after that twice a week. I decided to teach because\u00a0I have always excelled at the subject. Math has been my only favorite subject since i started holding a pen. Math is subject with absolute certainty. We started tutoring and took this additional mathematics tutoring club because of the satisfaction by being\u00a0able to sole every sum and thinking critically and passing this knowledge and set of skills to the coming batches was the best use of my talent. completing IGCSE Additional Mathematics course, me along with three of my friends; Palak, Suhani, and Divij created this club, we were serving the students in order to help them to cope up with the syllabus as we faced difficulties in the past two years. we look forward to helping them achieve excellence using our past experience. The classes took place before school hours for about 2 months. We made sure that our classes were planned beforehand so that no time is wasted. To make sure that they get enough practice we even prepared worksheets and tests. A spreadsheet was created to stay organized. It included everything from class wise plan to test papers and attendance sheet.<\/p>\n<p>(Spreadsheet-<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1wnb7UrinK3OkTluhUtNAzwjXXqz9oRyYALh5fa-gacc\/edit?usp=sharing\">https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1wnb7UrinK3OkTluhUtNAzwjXXqz9oRyYALh5fa-gacc\/edit?usp=sharing<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>We are greatly involved with Additional Mathematics since past 2 years (IGCSE). We took this opportunity as we were passionate about the subject and hence taught the students with great dedication. The skills involved were teaching, extensive communication skills, Logical and Critical Thinking, Problem-solving skills.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>learning outcomes<\/p>\n<p>L1 \u2013 I personally belong to mathematics background, so I had an upper hand in terms of understanding problems and comprehending the logical and analytical problems.\u00a0It is impossible that all four of us would have perfected each and every concept and chapter. We identified our strengths and weaknesses and divided our tasks accordingly.\u00a0 My strength\u00a0was teaching and helping the students who don\u2019t\u00a0understand the problems or not able to solve the questions. so instead of checking or making test papers, I used to plan the classes and teach the students<\/p>\n<p>L2 \u2013\u00a0Catering to the doubts of the students was a challenge. Doubts can be unpredictable and so we had to be thorough with all our concepts, luckily, We all were very understanding so if one person was not able to solve the doubt the other used to help him or her, but this doesn\u2019t\u00a0mean that we came unprepared, we used to go through all the concepts. another challenge was lack of motivation in them and as well as us. As early morning classes are really depressing, waking up for them was not an easy task for either of us ( teachers and students ) this often led to low attendance. A hangout group was made for constant reminders, and to persuade them to turn up for classes. planning the syllabus was not an easy task either.<\/p>\n<p>L3 \u2013\u00a0To really start with the early morning sessions, we required authorizations from many individuals. The way toward getting these permissions included endless visits to the senior school facilitator and the transport division. Planning the syllabus which includes detailed explanations of each\u00a0and every concept and covers all the topics in an efficient and productive manner was difficult but to ensure this the planning was revised again and again with updates catering to the IGCSE revised syllabus.\u00a0While doing so, we made sure that we consider what they are currently studying in the school so that we maintain the same pace. Looking to all perspectives and students uniquely, the club was designed in a way to involve each and every student with different background and knowledge about the subject, for doing this we consulted with the subject teacher and understood the weaknesses and strengths of every student.<\/p>\n<p>L4 \u2013 waking up early was not an easy task but we did it and turned up to every class. I, once even,\u00a0 missed by bus, so I cam by taxi to school at 6 in the morning to teach the juniors. It was really difficult as coming early and showing dedication to teach parallel to do IB. We still managed to be committed to the task and the only reason was for the greater good.\u00a0We were also very passionate about the subject and so we were able to teach with great dedication.<\/p>\n<p>L7 \u2013 academic honesty is a must and was followed throughout the project. We used a lot of reference material, questions from websites and past papers, and other resources for productive learning. we cited and credited each one of them.\u00a0 ethics of teaching were also met by showing dedication and maintaining a formal relationship with students and making the classroom an environment to study.<\/p>\n<p>L5 \u2013 We four knew each other and each other\u2019s weakness, so we reflected upon every class and worked upon the suggestions to improve the delivery of knowledge. Tasks were divided into 6 parts: Making syllabus, tutoring, teaching graphing on GDC, finding worksheets, test papers, and logistics. We appointed in-charges for each of these tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Activity 2 : Football PS<\/p>\n<p>Video Link:\u00a0https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watchv=oq_3MEVMGZU&amp;feature=youtu.be<\/p>\n<p>Activity 3 : \u00a0Inter School Football Competition<\/p>\n<p>I represented my school in the inter-school football competitions. I really like playing football. I was not one of those players who were god gifted or talented enough to get selected in my first match. I wasn\u2019t a part of the team from the start.\u00a0Therefore, to get selected, I had to work harder. Throughout my life, I have participated in many interschool football tournaments like Khel Mahakumbh, Xavier\u2019s cup, FS cup, a competition held at International School Aamby, IB league, YGI and the Subroto Cup.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>L1 \u2013\u00a0 when I started playing football, the only thing I wanted to do is shoot the ball and score a goal but gradually I understood that I am not the perfect fit for that position and I possess the skills to defend the ball. Through this competition, I have understood my strengths and my weaknesses which now I am able to work on in our training sessions. I used to play as a forward but now I play as a defender for my team because I am better at stopping people who try to get through me than getting through people. changing my position didn\u2019t save me from my weakness. I am also weak at controlling the ball, though I am better at it from before. I play football on a regular basis and try to improve on my weaknesses. I practice some skills at home because when you want to do something, try doing it right. in football, if you want to achieve your goal, it is not necessary you need two players to practice. I practice with my wall. I pass the ball towards the wall and it comes back to me and then I repeat the drill.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>L2 and L5 \u2013\u00a0While working on my weaknesses, I had to understand that football is not an individual sport but is a team game. as a team, we were very strong and coordinated .the biggest challenge was to overcome our weaknesses and practice regularly. because of our exams, we used to practice very less and\u00a0due to lack practices we lost some games, it was three semi-finals in a row and to prove ourselves, we got another chance at fs cup. this cup was held at our school and that motivated us as we didn\u2019t want to lose on our home ground. we practiced a lot, we went to each other\u2019s places to practice, we came early to school and we even started to diet just to improve our coordination and teamwork. we started helping each other and pointed out weaknesses of each other so that the person can also learn and work on their weaknesses. we helped each other like my friend used to help me with what he is good at and I used to do the same so that we grow as a team but this was not the only challenge,\u00a0facing an equally competitive or a better team than ours was also a challenge.\u00a0\u00a0It is really challenging to win against a competitive team. It requires a lot of hard work and practice. but teamwork got it through. Fortunately, all our hard work paid off and we won the FS cup. We tried to overcome our mistakes which we did in our last few matches and it helped us win the cup.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>L4 \u2013 \u201cPractice makes a man better\u201d with keeping this quote in mind. I was determined to work hard to secure my position in the team. Football is a very famous game and involves a lot of participants. People all over the world love to play this game thus involving a lot of competition. My school has over 1800 students and the team has only 11 players among them. 160 players fighting for one position. I came early morning and after-school camps to play better. My performance was improved. With hard work, football also requires commitment, you can\u2019t just quit football any day you want. I am in 12th and its difficult to manage studies and football together and in a world where studies are considered more important than sports,\u00a0 you are forced to choose studies over football but I learned how to manage time and even now I regularly play football, not only in school but me and my friends meet outside to play.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screenshot-2018-02-03-at-12.10.51-PM-300x168.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Activity 4 : Service Session<\/p>\n<p>Our School organized service programs for underprivileged children from various NGOs and rural places like Barbodhan, Tunda\u00a0and Umra. The service programmed included various sports and activities which allowed the children to\u00a0explore every field of such activities. there were activities like volleyball, football, visual arts, dance and etc. we were required to select a particular activity of our interest and teach the children for over a month on weekends. I was in charge of my batch for Football. I\u2019ve always had a keen interest for Football. we were required to plan the session as in what things we will cover.<\/p>\n<p>The curriculum we planned included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The importance of warm-up and how to do it properly.<\/li>\n<li>Teaching all the basic rule about the game.<\/li>\n<li>Basic Ball control drills like dribbling, passing and controlling the ball.<\/li>\n<li>Simple Shooting and agility drills.<\/li>\n<li>Playing Match 7 v 7.<\/li>\n<li>defenders vs strikers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>L05:-\u00a0Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively<\/p>\n<p>The sessions had a significant effect on me as I learned how to co-ordinate with colleagues and support them. The sessions were a bit unorganized at the start as we were new to all of this and there were so many volunteers which created a mess, but we did overcome it\u00a0 and by the end of the first session all the roles were distributed among the volunteers and therefore the upcoming sessions were efficient. As the number of\u00a0 volunteers were more, the efficiency increased as each of the volunteer was able to cater to the children in a interactive manner. the children\u00a0got a lot more personal attention from the volunteers which also encouraged the children.\u00a0I helped out in maintaining the decorum of the sessions as this was an one-time opportunity for me to do something with my passion which will help others.\u00a0We had to keep our communication skills sharp as we needed to report the progress and the track of the classes.<\/p>\n<p>L03:-\u00a0Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience<\/p>\n<p>As I was the in-charge of my Batch, I had to plan the things we were going to cover throughout the sessions\u00a0and furthermore keep the track of the session ( if the sessions are going in the way it was planned and everything is being covered)\u00a0I tried to make the activities as simple as possible so that the children could actually perform them and improve at it. The sessions were required to be simple as the children were not that up to date with the game of football. So I had to keep things according to their requirement and which will engage and improve them. I was not able to fulfill each of their needs as the volunteers were busy loitering around instead of teaching them and that was taken care of but could have done in a more planned manner.<\/p>\n<p>L04:-\u00a0Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experience<\/p>\n<p>I was committed to the service session as it was to teach football to the children and football is my passion. So commitment comes hand in hand when it comes to football. i also had to be committed as i was one of the leaders of my batch which deduces how responsible I am and the commitment i show will have an impact on the other volunteers and the children. I showed commitment when\u00a0I had to reschedule my study hours as it was on the weekend during the evenings. Playing football helped me to get refreshed and helped to reduce the load of studies. The main reason that kept me committed to the sessions was that I was helping the society in some way and taking off my time for something which will bring a smile.<\/p>\n<p>L02:-\u00a0Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process.<\/p>\n<p>During this activity, I also gained some confidence and coordination as giving instruction required to face a big audience and I have stage-fear ( i hesitate and get anxious when i have to speak to a big audience) this was something i improved as I still cat say that i overcome it.\u00a0I also learned how to be cooperative and\u00a0 a good listener because there were people to give suggestions about how to conduct the classes so I evaluated everybody\u2019s opinion and reach the conclusion. I also learned how to be patient when it comes to teaching as I am a person who gets furious very easily if someone in front of me doesn\u2019t get the thing in few tries. i was patient when it came to teaching football to the unprivileged children as they were not aware about the basic concepts of football (passing and dribbling the ball) as they were totally new to the subject of football which required me and my volunteers to show them how to do it\u00a0 and perform every drill. We also gave them time to adjust and get with the flow which required a lot of patience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/238r4jEhMs5SVH6sdqzL7CC336ndYxhJjRwEVIWeTqDaXTae4kSBTrhoj_ELvDR8zgJ8ZBtfQ4gTWxMgSHxSmOVMH7Hcfi9TUAv5raWGcaxnS8k3mw2Zz9jzG5aYWAoEI3Svl6_E\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/FIDkHh-rS8YFpLWcEdoGQlk6vY3tQPWa848LecAtsy38_9zm4GkGqwV2-AAB_HYAu1-iV_uj3uOYjqv0Ejf-DTmIGDWnLrhuP5brf_t9aSZbvOXRsPomP6UiYIOwbn5Tuur8EAMd\" \/><\/p>\n<article id=\"post-950\" class=\"post-950 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-pranav-agarwal\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Activity 5 : CAS Trip to Savarkundla ( save lions movement)<\/p>\n<p>Rural Pleasure is a social enterprise dedicated towards improving livelihood of deserved rural population through Rural Tourism. Rural Pleasure is a social enterprise which has been helping animals to contribute to the wildlife. Our school tied up with Rural pleasure in a project initiated to help Asiatic lions and other animals from falling into the well.The entire grade went on a trip to Savarkundla which is located in Amreli, Gujarat to assist the organisation in this essential project and to live up with our responsibilities for 3 days (8th September to 10th September).<\/p>\n<p>The issue which seize the organisations attention was the open wells. there are approximately 50,000 open wells. Each year 10-15 lions die by falling into the open wells. The issue wasn\u2019t just about lions but also other animals who end up dying the same way. The solution was pretty clear, It required to cover the well. So the animals who fall will land on the covering.<\/p>\n<p><b>Learning Outcomes Achieved:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process.<\/b>The campsite became the work-site in the morning. The construction involved a lot of determination, hard-work, standing in the sun for 8 hours straight and understanding of machines. I didn\u2019t know much about the machines used for making the cover. Using the wielding ion or polishing tool were like physics formulas to me.\u00a0 It was very challenging because I wasn\u2019t used to that atmosphere and how to get the work done with the machines I don\u2019t know how they work. After a lot of attempts and assistance by the experts, I was able to complete the tasks and ironically I loved working with those machines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Show commitment to and perseverance in the CAS experience. <\/strong>All the work was required to be completed in one day which required extensive efforts. Working for half of the day in blazing sun showed me how consisted and determinant we were towards this project.This experience required commitment to the cause of saving lions. We can\u2019t risk the lives of lions for our procrastination. Staying committed helped us to complete the work on time and also enhanced the quality of our work because commitment is key to success and polished outcomes.<\/li>\n<li><b>Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance.\u00a0 <\/b>This issue is quite significant throughout the world. everyone all around the world is finding a solution for this issue. we are focusing on the suptopic of this issue , there is more to this issue like lion many animals are getting killed or extinct on a very high rate which is not acceptable. Extinction of animals is a global concern. It creates problems in many ways like disturbing the ecosystem or disappearance of the complete existence of the animal. Asiatic lions are very few in number and in order to conserve them, we covered the wells which will help to reduce the rate of extinction. by covering the well, it gives me a way to contribute to our beautiful nature.<\/li>\n<li><b>Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth<\/b> On the very first day, The electricity was out. Another obstacle I faced was when we sat with the experts and planned how the covering will look like and placed a small blueprint how the covering will look like and decided what we have to do next day. Planning involves decision making, knowledge, experience and management. I am not good at making decisions as it requires a lot of leadership skills. Overcoming these challenges was very satisfying. Decision making was my weakness which I tried to overcome but I quickly grasp knowledge and thus while listening to the instructions given by the experts carefully.I was able to come to the desirable outcomes.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<b>Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively.<\/b>We were divided in groups to make the work easier and efficient.I am not very fond in working in groups because I don\u2019t want people in my group suffering if I do something wrong\u00a0\u00a0thus working in groups was not a easy task for me.Working in group was important because we had to finish everything in one day. While working in groups, we developed coordination, understanding and mutual trust.we also make friends and connect better.In fact working as a team was better than working individually as it saves time,develops new ideas and gives better outcomes .<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>What learner profile characteristics did I develop in this activity?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This project involved a lot of risk-taking.\u00a0 We also were caring towards the environment as we were caring towards endangered animals.Another learner profile characteristic I developed was being a communicator as when we are performing group task, I managed to communicate with other members well.<\/p>\n<p>We as humans, its our duty to help the environment.

It really required a lot of patience because the work was really long and it required precision which really was not my cup of tea. we also stayed back after school hours because it were a bit late from deadline and so\u00a0 started staying back and somehow managed to complete the task before the life class. Commitment was not a issue for me as visual arts has always dragged my interest towards it.<\/div>\n<div>LO5<\/div>\n<div>Working collaboratively helps the work to be done more efficiently and in much less time. Me and my friends have decided the work among us to be efficient. The work was decided uniformly and on the basis of skills possessed by us which is more effective way of working, each of us had responsibilities according to our skills to accomplish our goal like drawing, painting, finishing, border painting and more . We portrayed are extravagant skills though graffiti and also served a purpose, like I was involved in drawing the masterpiece and was also dragged to do painting throughout the journey. My friends were majorly involved in painting and we all did do everything as it made our work easier and thus were able to finish the work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">LO1<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Promoting kindness and helping students was some work required a decent and informative portrayal thus we decided to influence and spread awareness through the medium of art which is colorful and has a implicit message. The strength possessed by me was drawing and sketching, my work was done with tremendous efforts and a lot of precision.\u00a0 Doing work under pressure is what I required to improve. while I was drawing the graffiti , other students who were assigned to paint were getting inpatient \u00a0 and were on my head that lead to a lot of disturbance during the work and that irritated me but I gradually improved my attitude towards the problem and overcome it. Another obstacle was that the artwork was taking a lot of time thus required more working men for activity to complete it before deadline. I was then required to help my friends in painting, the challenge over here is that I am not a good painter which gave me a lot of responsibilities to not mess up the graffiti however I did stick up with my work and completed my assigned role.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The activity was really long which tested my patience, but the activity taught me that in life we have to be patient and everything can not be done according to you which gave me a really helpful life lesson.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">LO3<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">A lot of planning was required to achieve our goal of having an impact on the society though this graffiti. The colors chosen, the quotes\u00a0written on the graffiti and the shape of graffiti required us reflect and incorporate each and every perspective to have the greatest impact\u00a0on the victim\u2019s life . The graffiti on the wall was our destination and planning the journey was deciding all these things.<\/div>\n<div>The quotes\u00a0looked like\u00a0\u201cYou are a Hero\u201c \u201cYou are important\u201d \u201cYou are beautiful\u201d\u00a0 and more. the words in the quotes are chosen carefully to serve\u00a0the purpose of consoling and lifting up the people.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0we planned to use a lot of colors in the artwork because the colors create a positive aura around the art-piece\u00a0and replenish the mood of joy, motivations, self- worth and helps the audience to recreate a atmosphere where they are free and where there is no scope of bullying and the shape of the graffiti, there were two types of graffiti( arms with bulky muscles and butterfly wings with a lot of patterns )<\/div>\n<div>They both symbolize strength to overcome obstacles and optimism.<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-832\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-12.31.08-AM-300x218.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-12.31.08-AM-300x218.png 300w, https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-12.31.08-AM.png 645w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-834\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-12.29.44-AM-300x224.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-12.29.44-AM-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-12.29.44-AM.png 642w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n<div>LO6<\/div>\n<div>bullying is a global issue. our act of kindness serves a purpose to resolve this issue by creating a warm space for the victims and stopping the people who conduct this malicious act. our school is an IB school which believes to help the students grow into a better human and make them capable enough to deal with these small\u00a0issues and not let them affect the student .the graffiti serves an international purpose to help students all over world and influence people to take a step ahead to the spreading issue.<\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-841\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-8.46.10-AM-300x193.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-8.46.10-AM-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-8.46.10-AM-768x495.png 768w, https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-8.46.10-AM.png 863w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-840\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-8.46.38-AM-300x199.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-8.46.38-AM-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-8.46.38-AM-768x510.png 768w, https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-8.46.38-AM-1024x679.png 1024w, https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screenshot-2017-10-17-at-8.46.38-AM.png 1156w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<article id=\"post-1925\" class=\"post-1925 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-pranav-agarwal\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>Activity 7 : Weed cleaning at Gavier Lake<\/p>\n<p>Gavier lake\u00a0\u00a0is covered with weeds which makes it difficult for the birds to dive in the water. Due to the unwanted weeds, the birds find it difficult to look beneath the surface of the water and also come back up . weeds are also the cause of eutrophication which can lead to the death of a lot of marine lives and can disturb our natural ecosystem. few of my friends and i took initiative to clean this mess up.this activity was conducted by us every weekend<\/p>\n<p>LO4<\/p>\n<p>one requires a lot of perseverance to do work like this as pulling out\u00a0the weeds from the lake to serve the environment in morning hours is really difficult as the sun is right above you and we needed to put all we have in the water to take out as much weed as possible in one go to become time efficient as there was a lot of work to do as the whole lake was covered with the weeds and we wanted to clean the maximum lake possible. With immense efforts and a lot of commitment we were able to clean one part of the lake on the first day which encouraged us to show up again to serve nature and contribute to this social work. We were on boats between the lake , and when we were done with the area near our boat , we needed to row the boat to another part of the lake but we did not have paddles , we were required to row the boat with a piece of wood which took a lot of efforts and strength.<\/p>\n<p>LO2 and LO5<\/p>\n<p>the challenges we encountered were firstly, this activity was conducted on early morning Sundays and getting out of bed at 7 am on a Sunday is really not my cup of tea. secondly , how easy this weed pulling seems , it is really not that\u00a0 easy . pulling out weeds from the sea required a lot of strength and efforts which everyone is not able to do. we had to get that wooden boat inside and tie it with a rope so we are not stuck in the middle of sea .we also needed to row the boat to the part of the lake where there is a lot of weed to clean. Balancing the boat was no easy task not just by weight of us but by the weight if the weed we collected and it was heavy. so we made 2 teams according to the strength(The responsibilities were distributed according to the strength which helped us complete the activity\u00a0effectively) and made a game out of it, where the one whose pile of weeds is more wins the game. one person also stayed out on the land where others were distributed among teams , the person was supposed to stack all the weed brought by us in sets. the person used to be the one who got tired or is in no mood to go int he lake while others were picking out weeds from the lake. it was a turn by turn system which showed the collaboration and co-ordination we have. This motivated my colleagues and helped us to clean the lake beyond our capacity. people were not so bizarre with how the weed looked so we had a solution where who were not comfortable with picking out weeds by hand were picking out weed with logs . the activity was supposed bring us out of our comfort zone which it did and\u00a0, we were able to clean a huge part of the lake<\/p>\n<p>LO6<\/p>\n<p>Aquatic weed control is important because they not only look unsightly but also harms the aquatic life.\u00a0It is essential to keep the water surface is free of vegetation so that birds which dive into the water to catch fish and ducks which dive underwater to graze on aquatic vegetation gets open water to com out. This is a global issue as there are water bodies everywhere and the whole world is facing this problem to clean the water bodies to maintain aquatic life ( marine life) . Nature club took a great initiative to clean them to save the race of ducks, birds and more. Joining hands with nature club was the best decision ever. nature club gave us a platform to contribute to minimize this global issue<\/p>\n<p>the experiences was really thrilling as we could have fallen into the water at any given time as we were on a wooden trashed boat with no balance and a lot of weight which really was exciting and adventurous. this was a way of me helping nature and contributing my learning somewhere it can actually be useful. this helped me become a better person by serving the environment . i think if everyone does something like this , even small then it can change the world .<\/p>\n<p>LO1<\/p>\n<p>i identified my strength when we were on the boat and divided in teams. so on my boat i was the only one with some sufficient amount of power to row the boat with a piece of log . so when I realized it , i took the responsibility seriously and was capable and successful enough to row the boat to place where there is ample amount of weed to take out and go back to land. however there was weakness attached to me , because I am heavy or a person with greater mass thus the boat was leaning towards my side and because of the swings of paddle it was leaning more , so there was one point where i was almost in water but gradually i understood the situation and then started balancing the boat by changing my positions or by paddling the other side to balance the boat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-997\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG-20171024-WA0006-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG-20171024-WA0006-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG-20171024-WA0006-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG-20171024-WA0006-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG-20171024-WA0006.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-999\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screenshot-2017-11-01-at-9.02.59-PM-300x292.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screenshot-2017-11-01-at-9.02.59-PM-300x292.png 300w, https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screenshot-2017-11-01-at-9.02.59-PM.png 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1000\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screenshot-2017-11-01-at-9.02.43-PM-300x296.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screenshot-2017-11-01-at-9.02.43-PM-300x296.png 300w, https:\/\/classof2019.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Screenshot-2017-11-01-at-9.02.43-PM.png 742w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<nav class=\"navigation post-navigation\" role=\"navigation\">\n<div class=\"post-nav-box clear\">\u00a0Activity 8 : Komorebi (Cultural Day)<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>For the first time World Culture Day was celebrated by our school.\u00a0Komorebi the event was organized to bring all the culture around the world together. Komorebi included cultures of all 7 continents. I was the participant of asia where my country was south korea. All other groups planned to present individually like different counters for different country where my group planned at we will work collaboratively and will present ideas which are not country specific. We had four ideas to portray the cultural aspects of all the countries, a bar and food counter where we designed the food menu and drink menu with traditional and national food and drinks of all the countries we have decided from the continent, the pricing was done in consideration of the currency, the exchange rate, and currency symbols \u00a0. In news channel, we somehow manage to make a 3D model of a television where the current affairs of the countries were displayed and presented, as news channel relates to both mass media and cultural context it helped us to portray the idea well and in an interactive way. We had created the leaders who represent each country for our decoration to show the audience who represents countries in Asia in front of the world. To make the presentation more interesting and fun, we made a video titled \u201c weird rules in Asia \u201c, the video contained rules around Asia which made no sense and were made to serve their culture and beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While we creating the counter for food and drinks , a menu is required and we can&#8217;t get a readymade menu with such specific drinks and prices . so, we had to create it. The menu had 6 drinks and 6 food items in it , one from each selected country, here food dish and drink were considered as popular culture as they are traditionally famous in their countries and it is being consumed by a lot of people. We also used the conventions of a menu like how a the food title should be in large font or the description in small. As the purpose of the menu is to persuade the audience which leads to the usage of stylistic fonts and colors which connect to LO-1 . We had given a brief description of each item on menu and in person as the drinks and food was not originated here , so people were not aware about the food and drink.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I was one of the two people in the group who was creative. While brainstorming , no one was coming up with ideas which were creative or feasible. However, I was one of the few which were really inclined to this project and was able to give really creative ideas which were also feasible. I also met all the deadline my leaders assigned me like i completed the menu on the day i was told to design it or i researched about my country with no need of deadlines provided by leaders. I also manage to be spontaneous enough to correct the mistakes we made during the presentations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We could have researched about our countries in more detail and could have become more country specific. As our whole presentation was so general and the information delivered could have been in a more detailed and effective manner.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>L1 &#8211; The strength i possessed was that I am eager to learn or know new things. Komorebi was a great platform to get information about the world which was new to me. Each country had its own culture, however, there are connected to each other in some or the other way. Finding the connection was a difficult part but it helped me to never give up and never stop learning. I am also good with drawing or sketching. so, when my group decided that we are going to make comics of the primary leaders of each country, I was enthused about it and drew all of them with my colleague darsh. the weakness I possed was stage fear or speaking in public, I am one of those people who frame the entire conservation in the find before having one. Komorebi help me fight this fear and increase my confidence. Public speaking is one of the skills which everyone should possess however I am on my way of triumph. Komorebi got me one more step closer to make my fear my strength.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>L3 &#8211; komorebi required us to plan a lot. We had to follow a process where first we brainstorm the ideas then we pitch it to our leaders then the idea goes forward to the coordinators and then we get the approval. To execute a successful and create culture day, we first shortlisted some ideas which were feasible then the deadlines to complete the assigned task were decided. we the participants and leaders collaboratively planned the flow of the presentation, how the presentations will look and how much time will it take to execute the idea. The whole presentation was organized and executed in a planned manner.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>L4 &#8211; I was committed to this task as it was of my interest. We required to be committed because we had to have a show in front of all the parents and teachers. We did not want to disappoint anyone and as this culture day had a purpose attached to it. The purpose was to make us realize how everyone is connected to each other and how language makes that possible. We all showed commitment when we worked from home when we came early to finish the task and brainstorm when we had to research or in the last minute changes. We had to commit that everybody adheres to the deadlines and completes the task with full integrity and dignity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>L5 &#8211; working in a group gives us a great opportunity to know people and listen to all kinds of creative minds. I personally love working in a group as the work is divided and we can get assistance in our weakness and assist in our strengths giving the best piece of work. In our group, there was a point where there were many ideas on the table but no execution. we had to motivate each other in order to get the work done. Our group has all kinds of people, people who are good at art, people who are good at speaking, people who are good at leading and people who are lazy. thus, having people with every skill the work was completed efficiently and effectively.<\/p>\n<p>L6 &#8211; As culture are present all over the world and each culture represents a small or big part of the world in some way or other. cultures are very significant as they can influence the individuals to such an extent that their life belongs to the worshiped culture.\u00a0 every individual is known and identified based on their origin and culture. thus culture day provided a platform to respect and paid tribute to each and every unique, beautiful culture present in this world. Celebrating different culture can make you knowledgeable and bring the world closer to world peace.<\/p>\n<p>L7 &#8211; culture is a topic where a lot of sentiments are attached.\u00a0 we have to make sure we don&#8217;t speak anything inappropriate and hurt people or present something false. however, unintentionally we presented a false information but were corrected by a parent. we did take care of it later and presented the correct information everyone else<\/p>\n<p>Activity 9 : Visual Arts AS<\/p>\n<p>I tried learning different forms of art and the main target was to learn at least two. The two forms of art learned were charcoal painting and woodcut printing. I have always been interested in art. I love making portraits and sketches of objects and people. Trying the different forms of art would be the goal for me. Appreciating Art could a major aspect I will try to nourish throughout the years. Art involves a lot of creativity to endure a beautiful and meaningful artwork.<\/p>\n<p>L1 &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0My strength is sketching and comprehending. I have been learning and practicing it for years and this put me in a position to enhance and learn different sets of skills and area of study in this very field of arts. Sketching and comprehending are elementary skills which will be required at every stage in the art as you can proceed further unless you create and analyze your work. Excelling this area helped me to give more time to me weaknesses like the painting. The painting was where I was not good at thus being my are of growth.<\/p>\n<p>L2 &#8211; Challenges faced were to concentrate on my work as artwork requires a lot of attention and critical thinking but this was difficult when other people in the same room are shouting and doing their work. Another challenge was to select another area of study to expand my knowledge while deciding the study topic, things need to be catered\u00a0were knowledge of my teacher in the area and the possibility of it in our art studio. Coming up with the topic was difficult but performing or learning it was more difficult as I was new to it and had no background knowledge about it.<\/p>\n<p>L3 &#8211; I planned my work effectively as the time allotted to AS was very less and completing my work within the time limit was a must. I divided the entire task into small tasks and gave myself deadlines to complete them to increase efficiency and productivity.<\/p>\n<p>L4 &#8211; staying committed was not an easy task as at some point of time the work got boring no matter how interesting or beautiful it looks, performing it was boring.
