27th January 2012.

Today:

• Maxwell continues to fix the Project Plan with Stephanie's and Adam's help. We also looked at the feedbacks the other groups did for us so we can get a higher mark.
• Stephanie checks the responses of the survey.
• Adam researched.

Overall, it was a very very productive day filled with laughter and joy. Our stress level have officially dropped dramatically :D

21st January 2012.

Through the week, this is what we have done

• I have showed the survey that I was going to send out to schools (local/global/national) to Ms.Gita to check if it was alright. She also checked with Ms.Suzy to see if we needed permission for this, so that was helpful for the confirmation of sending out surveys.
• Adam sent out the e-mail to his teacher in his old school after Maxwell checked and fixed some grammars (since he is the complete finisher)
• Maxwell just continues to fix our Project Plan.

14th January 2012

Well, for the past week, my group have been progressing very well and I am very pleased with this.

• We have finished our gantt chart and know exactly when to finish each work.
• I have done brief questions for survey to pass on to local/national/global schools to answer. I will continue this and try to post the survey up by next week.
• Maxwell have progressively done good work on our Project Plan essay.
• Adam have been writing a brief e-mail to his teacher in his old school to help us in the cross-collaboration.

So far, I am pleased. :D

8th January 2012

For the past week, my group has been progressing very cooperatively. Even though we have not talked much during the holidays (not to mention the week in school only consisted of 3 days) it was one, or the best progress we have done so far.

In the 2 meetings that we met in class consist of all of us trying to sort our project out. For the past one term, my group have obviously been pressured with the fact that the other 2 groups were progressing much more faster than us. Which lead to us arguing more frequently with the lack of progress. Therefore, I believe that was one of the problems why we couldn't function properly.

In the end, this is what we have arranged:
1. Adam is responsible for Global Perspective, Maxwell is responsible for National and Stephanie is in charge for The Future. We all would do the Personal Perspective afterwards when we are done with the research on our individual task OR one individual that finish earlier, will do the personal perspective.
2. Every Friday at the end of the week, we will reflect on our progress.
3. Maxwell and Adam will need to find a school by Friday. (Adam - Global) (Maxwell - National)

• what do you feel about canning?
• do you have any form of corporal punishment in your school?
• if yes, at what point do you determine it is right to cane a student?
• if no, what is your thought of canning?
• If you go to an international school, what is the corporal punishment view in your home country?
  

4. 8th of January we will finish our Plan, Aim & Objective planning.
5. History of Corporal Punishment finish on the 7th of January - Stephanie
6. We all finish our research by 13th of January.
7. Adam & Maxwell will create a draft of the email to the schools by 10th January.
8. FIX MEETING ON THURSDAY 8.30 - EVERY WEEK.
9. WEDNESDAY FIX MEETING AT LUNCH - EVERY WEEK.

After our first meeting, we went on skype and discussed about the schools that we were going to interview. We then chose New Zealand and Malaysia since they both have different views of corporal punishment, which was an excellent deal. This was because, Malaysia, we could ask Maxwell's old school whilst we can ask Adam's old school in NZ.

In our following meeting, we were discussing and creating our Plan, Aims and Objective. Gladly to say, we have already set our Aims and Objectives. Our Plan still needs working.
