Criterion F- Attitude

Personal Engagement:
I think I was well-engaged in the class overall. I wasn't jumping up and down because we started a new project, but I was (I believe) positive towards the things we did in class and certainly did not act negatively towards them. Also, during the project, I guess I was quite positive because I was writing endlessly when it was not even required, and I even encouraged my classmates to write more and I had "fun" doing so. I guess my independence lacked a little bit though. Because I was new to the MYP and its criteria, I had to ask frequently Ms.Wilson and my friends for help and instructions. However, the project itself, I was able to work autonomously.

Attitudes toward safety, cooperation, and respect for others:
I think I was very safe within the class. First of all, there weren't very many things that was concerned with safety, but I also followed the rules of the IT class concerning downloading, etc. I think I was cooperative with others too. I asked them for help, for example for my evaluation and questions about the criteria, while I also returned the favor by doing their evaluation/testing and give them examples to write about for their different criteria. Also, during the presentations, I tired to help and improve the quality of discussion by asking the hidden and subliminal intentions of the artist. I think I was respectful overall too. I didn't assert any negative comments of my peers and their works and tried to encourage them. Also, when I had to give objective criticism, I tried to use euphemism so that I wouldn't hurt the feelings while helping them.

test results

For your hair, you used octopus ink, because your hair is black and it makes a nice texture like kyu’s hair. For the face, when you put Korean writing on it you meant to show that you are Korean, you like to read Korean literature. Your glasses and mouth are white and black, because you have different sides of yourself. The other face has food on it, because you love food. The background is blue because the ocean is blue and you have different continents to show where you were and where you want to go. The sesame seeds show that you like sesame seeds and the rice represents that your Korean and u also like rice. I don't know what the acryllic paint symbolizes.

You pasted magazine cut-outs which were all pictures of food, so I am thinking that you are a food lover. The rice on the border of you hair tells me that you like to eat rice, which Koreans all do. Octopus ink tells me that you are a marine life lover, or you like things like fish. The color of the glasses and mouth tells me that you have faces or 2 people IN you telling you what to do, like devil and god. The two faces show that you want a twin.

I think black and white is showing your devil mind and angel mind. But the black side is kind of higher than white so your devil side is more than kindness maybe. And between two twin there are Africa and America which is telling u r half America and u lived in Africa or half Africa. And i can see u love eating and rice is your favourite. Also I notice from your angel face that u like to read Korean books.

Octopus ink is because I really don’t know what that is so I can’t think of a reason why u chose it. The rice because your Asian and you like to eat rice. The different food is because you like eating. The map symbolizes your likeness of MUN and other countries. Korean books you like literature.
