This term Mr Petch has assigned us an exciting project about
the people in history who have contributed to society in some way.
Inspiration; the Oxford
dictionary defines it as ‘The process of being mentally stimulated to do or
feel something, especially to do something creative.” By learning about these
eminent souls we are being inspired in many ways.
The project consists of three sections. This required us to
choose a person we find inspirational.
Section 1-The first
section entitles us to create a booklet about our notable person. Containing
basic facts, why we chose our person, their legacy and why it is important they
are remembered. We also had to include a bibliography. This part was due on the
21st of February, 2014 and many exceeded expectations and proceeded
well.
Section 2-The second
part consists of presenting our findings to the class-and Ms Roberts- with the
assistance of a power-point or prezi. This will take place on the 5th,
6th and 7th of March, 2014. All the presentations will be
recorded and may possibly appear on the blog. We are also required to watch
ourselves and self-assess our presentation.
Section 3- Finally,
for the last segment, Mr Petch gave us the opportunity to be creative and make
or build anything. Many found this challenging as it was our choice, however
some saw it as the perfect occasion to articulate their abilities through
creativity and imagination. This final part is due on the 26th of
March, 2014. We all can hardly wait to see what everyone has decided to put
forward.
This project has excited all and has enabled us to feel
inspired by such notable human beings. Also this term we are being inspired by
the vast variety of quotes and famous statements made throughout history, some
have even shaped the world we live in today. Below are some interesting and
inspiring quotes we have gathered together as a class.

“Those who don’t believe in
magic will never find it.”

single step.”

word itself says, “I’m possible”!”
-Audrey Hepburn

the rollercoaster which is life.”

wander are lost.”
