Facing our Fears

By Anonymous
We were learning to identify some of the barriers we have in our learning. Miss Laxa helped us create some Fractured Art.  First we wrote down all of the fears we have around learning.  Then we screwed up the paper. That was like saying "these barriers will not stop me from learning". After the paper was scrunched up, we used black vivid markers to outline the wrinkle lines.  Then we coloured the spaces in between.  In the we end we created something beautiful from something that started out scary.  This is one of the examples of our work.

    Hey room 13,

    Wow that piece of art look really amazing, I really like what you guys did with your art, I mean like your starting from something scary and then you end up with a really good piece of art. Maybe you could just look through your writing, But Love the art work.

Chinese Language Week - Day 2 - Tuesday

By Anonymous
In researching how to write Tuesday in "Chinese" I was aware there are at least 3 languages including Shanghainese, Cantonese and Mandarin. It's not as straight forward as that. Earlier, I chose a translation that I thought was dragon in a class activity today. The fluent Cantonese and Mandarin speakers in my class did not recognise the symbol. I was embarrassed that I had made a mistake which is one of the pitfalls of cross-cultural analysis. There are always positive outcomes for every situation and we were able to have a discussion about where the symbol may have originated. Another positive outcome is that I am extremely aware of my cultural limitations. So this will result in me asking more questions, seeking more input from experts in our class and in the community. As you can see, I was not confident enough in what I found on the internet to use it in my blog title. An opportunity for further learning.
