Woopsies. Forgot to post yesterday, and I thought I did.
That sucks.
For some reason, I can't keep to the same schedule for a long time, even a few days.
That sucks.
Ultimate.
Right now, I'm sitting with my brother, Jason, on my comfy beanbag. I love sibling moments! Yet for some reason, he decided to open his mouth and suck in a huge breath at this very blog post.
That's my brother.
Yeah. He likes blowing breaths at me/my computer and punching my cheek.
Tomorrow, I'm going to Cyberport with my classmates! We're going to chill out and have fun.
(-
Excuse moi, Jason decided to 'borrow' my computer for a few moments to search different guns, as he was reading Artemis Fowl.
-My teacher's definition of having fun is grabbing a nice game, like cards, or a book, and sitting down.)
So. The blog post's name is called Explanations + S.R. because I'm going to talk about explanations and SR!
Yeah. Boring... *yawn*
Still, I am.
Tomorrow my class is going to Cyberport. We're gonna sit down on our fluffy blankets/towels and read a nice, calm book and having a nice time.
We, of course, being me. Only I have a fluffy towel! Mwah-ha-ha-ha.
You know, today, I'm ignoring SR, in case you forgot, it's snot-rag, my annoying friend. She was making bitter comments about us not caring about the script.
Backing up...
Yeah. I'll explain what exactly the script is.
In my school, we have something called EXHIBITION! In Exhibition, we chose a topic, aka issue in society, to work on and take ACTION about.
ACTION consisting of indirect, advocacy, direct, and research.
'Tis a long story, as you can see.
DIRECT ACTION: Face to face action, action that directly affects the sendee, and the sender.
eg. Donating to an organization/ Comforting an asylum seeker or refugee
(The issue I chose to work on was asylum seekers. My next post is all about asylum seekers! And refugees!)
INDIRECT ACTION: Action that does not directly affect the sendee, but affects the sendee's community and society as a whole.
eg. Volunteering at an organization = affects sendee because sendee's issue (said issue being asylum seekers and refugees) is affected because sender would be volunteering to help organization. Does not affect sendee because sendee's environment and stuff is improved, you see?
ADVOCACY: Raising awareness! Tell people and things!
eg. Making posters and sticking it around my school. I did make posters with my group. More about my group later/ We made a survey about asylum seekers and went around asking random people on the streets, and told them what exactly asylum seekers are/ Making a BLOG or BLOG POST about it.
RESEARCH: You guessed it, research. Learn the facts about asylum seekers!
eg. going onto websites to learn more/ Reading BLOGS about asylum seekers! Hence me!
My group is, well, a group that works together to make stuff. Haha, I'm being WAY too vague and rambly.
Anyway, so we took action. And yeah, action is all of those things above.
Unfortunately, SR is in my group, though it's over so I should call it 'was in my group'. As we neared the end of Exhibition, we had to make a board and stick facts, and graphs and stuff onto the board and present it to our parents, and the rest of the school, said rest of the school being Year 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
We didn't have enough time to make the video that SR wanted to make, and SR got so angry at us she threatened to tell her mom to tell our teacher to lower our grades. And SR was supposed to be my friend! I quote, when we were taking everything off our boards, SR said, 'Well, I'll take the script because no one cares about it.' And Izzy and I got mad because of it.
Actually, no one likes SR, now that Kayla-not real name, she's a good friend of mine- found out that Wanda doesn't like SR, Tanith told me she doesn't like SR, and Izzy told me that SR was driving her crazy, no one does now!
I suppose it'll be a bit mean to shout, 'Woohoo!'?
Yeah, it will.
Still remember my name? (Carolina Martinez). Just curious to see! :D
More on asylum seekers and refugees tomorrow (I hope), and cha cha!
