reflection for 24th feb

our group presented our ideas to the teachers today. though the idea was approved, there were some areas that needed some tweaking. we had planned to use the school's CHAMPS lesson to conduct our activity, and the teachers told us we needed permission from the teacher in charge, Mr Tan Chuan Leong. Fortunately, he gave us the green light, but we would have to work with him for to make sure that our materials will not overlap, and to figure out the exact dates we want to carry out our activities. In order to learn how to manage stress effetively, i have decided to contact a few organisations to see if they are willing to coach us to impart the skills of stress management, and also, if possible, provide relevant materials and information.
Our initial target group were the year 1-4s of RV, but we decided to narrow them down to the year 3-4s of this year as the teachers pointed out it would be quite difficult to conduct lectures for all levels. especially when our assembly and CHAMPS time slots were different.
Also, we wanted to on academic stress, but it may not be the largest problem our target group is facing, therefore we have decided to come up with another survey to see exactly which area of their lives stresses them the most, so that we can come up with an effective counter-plan.
For our surveys, they will be done online, as the teachers commented that we did not utlise the area which teenagers frequent the most, which is the internet. we had plannned to only put up posters and pamphlets, along with conducting a series of activities, which did not involve the internet at all. therefore, we have decided to use the internet for the conducting of our survey, and probably even put up videos and articles on stress management on the internet. the vidoes and articles will all be placed in a blog, which makes them more easily accesible. we also plan to put up a tagboard on the blog so that participants can voice their opinions on our projects and suggest improvements that they want to see.
