Issues and SolutionsOur actions can lead to

positive change.Issues, problems, issues! There are big and little issues and problems that concern a lot of people. Some problems and issues have obvious solutions while some issues and problems seem to have no solution.

In your Exhibition process you will get a chance to apply your skills as an action taker to some of these issues and problems. You will be choosing a real problem(either local or global) and carefully working through to a solution and take some action to help this issue or problem.

Working through this Exhibition journal will help you organize your time and resources to discover the best solution to your chosen issue or problem.

Good luck!

Inner Journey

Our actions can lead to positive change.

Why is this a problem/issue?

• You have chosen this problem for a reason.• How does it affect your life or those around you?• How does it affect your feelings or emotions?• Why do you think it is important?

Why do you feel a responsibility for this problem/issue?

Inner Journey


REFLECTION 1


You have chosen a topic. •Has it changed from your first thoughts? How and why? •Are you happy with this development? •You have been put in a group. Who is in the group? •Why are they in your group? •Do you think the group can work co-operatively and effectively? How and why?•What did you think about your first week of collaboration?

They are in my group because we all want to do the same thing.

I think my group can work co-operatively because we always are on tack and work together.

On the first day I thought it was going to be fun but scary.

Developing Lines of Inquiry

You have defined your problem/issue in relation to Form, Function, Causation and

Responsibility.Look at the remaining two Concepts to clarify your lines of inquiry

Connection How is it connected to other issues/problems?It is a problem because more animals are dyeing or given drugs and being

tortured.

Perspective What are other points of view?That we know it is going to be safe for humans.

Searching and Collecting


Our Process – Searching and Collecting

People to whom we spoke to:

Name: Mrs. Sikora

From this person we learned that there was a website that rejected animal testing. They were called ‘Beauty without Cruelty’. And we emailed them but we haven’t got a replied yet

Name:

From this person we learned

Surveys we created and distributed

The group surveyed: animal testing, good or bad.Number of people surveyed: 19

Important conclusion we can make from the results: The important thing about this survey is so we know how thinks animal testing is good or bad.

Important information from our advisor:Was that we should do a survey.

Process Reflection

These are things I thought about our topic before BUT now I think differently

I thought that it wasn’t going to be so scary than it archly is.

The are ideas we had about our problem/issue before and I still have now

We had a problem that people didn’t know that the products they use is animal testing.

These are things about our problem/issue that still challenge us and we still wonder about

We are worried that people don’t realize how mean some people are to animals.

We would like our audience to leave our presentation with these “BIG UNDERSTANDINGS”

Of not to buy products that don’t have the leaping rabbit. (if a product has this sine it means they don’t test on animals)

Synthesizing and Connecting


Think of Solutions.ACTION!

Brainstorm a wide range of ideas that could help solve this problem/issue

Here is your chance to be creative. Write down all possible answers. Do not discard any yet because this is your chance to start thinking outside the box to find a creative solution. Be creative, unusual, fanciful, practical and obvious. S T R E T C H your imagination!

We could solve this problem by looking at the label to see if it has the symbol that it is not tested on animals .Or if it says not tested on animals on the label. Also we are making flyers, a poster, a power point and a skit.

REFLECTIONActing and SharingWe can make a difference

The action we took was emailing a place that hated animal testing also we made flyers, a power point and a poster. It went really well we got a reply after a very long time and I don’t think they understood the thing we where trying to tell them. But the poster and flyers and power point looked really well.
