Lihua's CID Reflections

CID Reflections 24/03/09
I feel that our project is going on smoothly, everything is working out pretty well.
The lessons are planned out already. The most important thing now is for Mr Tan Chuan Leong to give us time to conduct these lessons. If not, whatever we've done would be wasted. Also, we interviewed the school consellor on thurs. She gave us many insights on our project. She also provided us with many useful tips.

We didn't do much today. Everything sort of done. YAY. (:

Sharlene's reflections 24/3/09

I think our lessons and lectures are mostly done up and it should be completed by this weekend. We should also include guidelines for chairpersons and teachers to conduct these stress management lessons, which should be completed by next week. The rest left to do is to liaise with Mr Tan and get his approval and the time slots for our lessons and lectures to be conducted. If we handle this logistics well enough, the lectures and lessons should be able to be carried out smoothly as planned.

Our posters and pamphlets can be put up at a slower pace. The important thing right now is to get the lessons and lectures done first because there will not be time left to carry them out after June holidays as we have to focus on completing the report and doing the presentations.

minutes for 24/3/09

During today's CID lesson, we went to find the school counselor to book a time slot with her (this Thursday at 2.30p.pm) to interview her on stress management skills with regards to relationship stress since it was rated the second highest accountable for overall stress levels in RV students according to the survey done on year 3 and 4 students. We can use information gotten through this interview in our lesson plan (lesson 3 specifically).
We also decided to add another lesson to give emphasis on relationship stress management. This will be lesson 3 in addition to lessons 1, 2 and 4 and the lecture.
Plan A : 1 lecture + 4 lessons
Plan B : 1 lecture + 2 lessons
(remove 1st lesson. Bring 4th lesson to 1st lesson. Combine lesson 2 and 3 into one lesson)
Plan B is in case we cannot get the five consecutive time slots in 5 weeks. Hence, we condensed the lessons in plan B.

Plans for this weekend:
- Huey Yiing to improve on lecture and lessons slides
- LiHua and Sharlene do lesson 3
- Luqi do up posters and pamphlets

LiHua's CID Reflections!

CID Reflections 02/03/2009
Today, we came up with another survey to find out what types of stress the students are affected by. This will give us a more detailed scope on how to help students relieve stress. We do have a very tight schedule as everything has to be carried out in the next few months. Hence we have to learn how to organise our time properly, and not get stressed out by the overwhelming word load.

CID Reflections 10/03/2009
We have decided to meet up during the march holidays to plan a detailed lesson plan. We came up with a few ideas and planned to consult the school counsellor.

minutes for 10 mar 2009

1. We planned out the activities we will be conducting during the CHAMPS lesson
2. We planned out what we will be doing in the 1st lecture
3. We decided to use photoshop to design our posters, and it will be inclusive of:
- pictures
- how to manage academic stress
- how to manage relationship stress
4. next meeting time
5. We will make an appointment with the school counselor to have professional advice on how to handle relationship problems.

my reflections:

i think that the schedule is quite hectic and i think that it may be too difficult to hold a lecture immediately when school reopens. The lecture may have to be postponed for another week. I initially wanted 4 CHAMPS lesson and 1 lecture, but i realised that maybe 3 CHAMPS lesson would be a better idea as we can then split our lesson into different topics and activities and there would be a better timing, in terms of scheduling the lessons in that we would have a session every fortnight.

Sharlene

Today we came out with our survey which we will complete by this week so that we can confirm on what type of stress we are doing on and proceed on with our plans for CHAMPS activities and lectures. We are also meeting up this saturday online to complete our PI which has to be submitted by next week. i agree with huey yiing that our schedule is very tight but it will be slacken in june and july, so we just have to pull our socks up for now. jia you!! =D

HY comments on 3rd march 09

Firstly, here are the minutes for today:

1.We came up with the survey and have decided to ask the 1st and last 5 students of every 3-4 class to complete our survey. We decided not to use the internet because there will be many students who will not attempt the survey. We plan to collect back all our surveys by this friday and collate the results by this weekend so that we can proceed to plan our lessons and design our posters and pamphlets.

2. Huey Yiing called TRYBE to ask if they offered a stress management course so that we could learn from them. They will reply by this week.

3. We have decided to meet up during March hols to design our poster and come up with our lesson plan

4. we will complete our PI this weekend and send it for Mr Tan Chuan Leong and NYC to approve

5. we have decided to have our 1st activity as a lecture so that the y3s and 4s will be able to have an idea of what will be going on for the next few weeks, which will be held during CHAMPS lessons. The lecture will be held on the week after school reopens and we will give pamphlets for the class chairpersons to put up on the notice boards.

My Reflections for today

Personally, I feel that the schedule for our project is quite tight and I'm sure that my group members agree with me. However, i believe we will not be so tightly packed once we have completed coming up with the materials for the lessons. my concern now is that my group has not come up with an idea of how to gauge if our project is successful. i think that the best way would be to have another survey to see how the target group thinks of our project.
