Haiti

Part A:

After Haiti had the earth quake, I did not realized that so many people died and suffered.

I felt really sorry for them and I decided to think more about Haiti. In Haiti, lots of houses

were crashed and inside there were people and died. Some people lost their families. I hope many people will know more about Haiti and help and donate for them.

Part B:

In global issues class, I played a game called Ayiti-Cost of Life, which was about Haiti.
When I first played this game, it was quite hard for me because I really had to think in long term to be successful in this game. If I would describe this game to my friends, I would tell them that it is a very educational game to learn about Haiti. I learned that how Haiti has many serious problems through playing this game. There were three primary objectives and these were happiness, money and education. I chose 'Happiness' because I thought if they were happy enough, I was sure that they could live happier even they did not have enough money. While I was playing the game, it was stressful for me because I really had to think a lot to make them happy. If i have next chance to play it, I would like to choose other object to play the game differently.

Stop Killing the Sharks.(Reflection)

Knowing about sharks made me so depressed. I really did not know that sharks get killed everyday single day. In our global issue class, we made a decision to tell people how it was disgusting. I am sure some people still eat sharks fins without feeling of sadness. In our class, we had many activities to invite people and show how sharks are poor.

The first activity was showing the movie about being sharks killed. It was so horrible and some people felt sorry for them. In addition, we sold cookies that looked like sharks. Also we sold drinks and the color was really red to show it was sharks' bloods. Lots of people bought it and they thought about sharks while they were eating it. Besides, we taught a game about hunting sharks on the sea. There was a huge poster and we put toy boats and sharks. Some people liked to play and we kept telling how they were died.

Lots of people came to our class and participated with us. They had many questions and I tried to give good answers for them. I liked the way people were interested in sharks.

I have learned lots of things during the class. I had not cared about eating sharks. To my regret, I ate a shark fin when I was young. It was so delicious so I thought eating sharks fins was great. However, I still feel sorry for them. They are killed without any reasons. I hope people learned something from our global issue class. I want many people to stop eating sharks.

Stop the Killing !

In our global issue class, we have learned about sharks. I had not known that lots of people liked to eat sharks fins. It was so disgusting and cruel when they got killed by humans. I really felt sorry for them. In our class, we were determined to do activities in the class. I am sure lots of people will come and participate with us.

First of all, we would like to sell cookies and drinks to people. They will keep thinking of sharks while they are eating. Moreover, we will show the video of sharks. People will see it and feel bad for them. Our classmates will explain about playing a game. They make a huge poster and put sharks and boats toys. We are helping one another to success our big project.

I really hope many people come to our class and learn something from us.
