I think that I should either do a poster or a video. Then on the other hand I also was thinkin about the diary idea from the documentary, but my hands would probally be drained down.

I thin that the best way that I can represent my understanding is to do a visual representation. I think that a poster, or a diagram may work. I can use my art skills in this are anyway. However, I do not mind writing a diary in a poor person's position, or doing a sort of documentary.

I agree with 2BARUNNER. I think a poster would be best for me because I like to do cool designs and art along with the poster to make it more effective. I like to add photos and writing about the different factors of poverty. I would also think that a video would suit me too. I feel like I could really make it effective but in a way I think the poster would be more ideal for my strengths.

If we were to do this with partners I might do a role play. I'm not sure though.

I would like to do a poster because I feel like it's an organized way of showing my understanding. I can also add maybe drawings on my topic and on the other side have like an explanation.

I would like to do either a poster or a essay. I like to have my work all organized and neat in a way its easy to understand so that's why I think a poster.....but I would like to do a essay because I like to get my work done efficiently.

Actually, I never really thought of that... To show my learning with an essay using google docs. Im a very fast typer and suppose typing is better than writing. But then on the other hand, I want to show (not show by words) examples and drawings and all that.

AWESOME JOB! @westcoastwhale. Sadly, I did'nt make it to play day but luckily there's another tournament vs the gr.7 because I don't have a badminton set and I thought that it'll be the last I play badminton. I bet it'll be a fun one! See you all tomorrow!

I think this suits me because I love drawing pictures, but of course it would be rather hard to explain with out labels. So thats why I will use labels.

Because itll last longer and can be posted in public places to raise awarness. A journal entry can do none of those things.

Yes I agree DiamondPickaxe, but its just for a school project so I think that both are just as good as eachother.
