Week Without Walls Reflection

1. Week Without Walls Reflection By: Paniz Adiban

2. Day 1 Today was fun and exciting because I worked with my friends or friendly people. Today, the whole group worked on team work or shall I say team strengthening activities. During these activities we had some easy and some hard challenges that kept us balanced. Next we divided in our class group and created a poster. We didn’t have enough time to end the coloring but we were close. After working a bit on our posters we had lunch at CMU. After lunch we came back and finished off our posters and the day ended up pretty fantastic.

3. Day 1 If I could go back and change something I would go back and show more team effort to my class mates because I felt like I could do better and help out more. I was a bit slow at the beginning and the end but I really enjoyed myself.

4. Day 1 If I could choose a learner profile for all the activities I did I would pick communicator because there were many parts we needed to communicate in order to succeed. I especially communicated when we had to put on blindfolds and guide a friend through a certain path.

5. Day 2 Today in the morning we were taken to the Qatar science technology park and we learnt how we can use technology to save lives and we noticed that the tools of a surgery got more complex over the years. When we came back we had to do physical exercises to use for our project. Our project was to see how many kilometers you need in order to go from a capital city to another.

6. Day 2 If I could redo this day I would take more leadership and try to make my project stronger and better.

7. Day 2 The IB learner profile I will pick is risk taker because I had to push myself to achieve what was best for the team.

8. Day 3 Today we were working on a video on natural disasters. We got into the groups we had from making our posters. We had have facts, pictures, background music and much more. At lunch they took us to Georgetown university for a lecture about flags, lunch and a scavenger hunt to end things up.

9. Day 3 If I could go back and change something I would make sure we had a better plan for our video because we ended up losing track of time and having to stay a bit longer.

10. Day 3 • The IB learner profile I choose for my reflection is caring because I had to work together as a group to get ideas and I made sure everyone got a chance to say something.

11. Day 4 On Wednesday we had to finish and present our team video to the other classes. After that we had a schedule for team activities. We had to share the activities between our class. The groups we were in were based on our poster groups and since Lara wasn't there I was left with 2 boys and we went to the candy bowl activity. The activities aim was for me to instruct Muthanna and Ahmed to pick up candy and put it in the right color group whilst they can’t talk and they have blindfolds on.

12. Day 4 If I could go back and change something I would try to add more detail to our Public Service Announcement. So we could get a better vote/opinion from everybody.

13. Day 4 If I could pick an IB learner profile for my actions I would pick balanced because the natural disaster had emotional moments and the activities we did while we waited were physical and since the last part was a mind-solving problem I used my intellectual part.

14. Day 5 Sorry this data is not available.
