reflections of the meeting of 7th nov
11:20 PM This post is on the reflections of the meeting of 7th nov. The session today could be split to 3 parts--photoessay trial, "what's your view?" and the trip to Asian Civilisation Museum(ACM). Our group was doing the topic "Little things that go unnoticed"(or sth to dat effect). Our group split to further smaller groups of 3. We just took whatever we thought was appropriate and we chose the 8 pictures and thought of captions to fit these pictures. It was rather intriguing as we had to really think beyond but to really see what can be portrait or conveyed. Though the presentation was rather unprepared, but our group managed to pull through it. Comments were given that we made assumptions and we had to redefined our scope of coverage as they were rather scattered. I think these suggestions are valid. In the taking of pictures, we may just have an attitude to "do it becuase we are being told to do". However, through such a sharing session, i realise that when we seek to sincerely understand, we may really benefit a lot of that. Then, in the next segment, we "debated" over our views of certain practices especially with regards to service learning. This again provides another opportunity to think. Furthermore, it is really interesting to see us articulate our views and stand by them even though faced by oppositions. We really are more comfortable in being frank and to share what we think which i think is really valuable. The trip to ACM is yet another learning experience. A better understanding of the culture, history and customs of China is achieved. I believe these knowledge will be of good use to us prior to going over to yunnan. We also found a lot of fun in learning to question things. Generally today is a session that made us think. I think it is really necessary as without the conscious effort to think of the different implications on certain issues of the actions, we may not be able to really maximise our learning, which is essentially the objectives of service learning in the first place. ~jasper |
