Peak Oil Evaluation

The Project

1. What area of study did you choose? Why?

"What would happen if oil ran out today?" The future scenario. Because it was appealing to all of us especially Jacelyn because she watched the documentary. Then she intrigued the rest of us by introducing the same documentary to all of us. We also decided to do it because we wanted to do something that did not involve money and a lot of time.

2. What did your groups hope to achieve? What was your proposed outcome?

We hope to discourage people from living excessively, encourage them to live sustainably with our main focus being plastic bags. We attempted to achieve this by creating a video and presentation to be shown to secondary learners during assembly.

3. How could you critically evaluate the success of your outcome?

We would have a discussion and send out a survey and use the feedback to consolidate our evaluation.

4. What were your specific group roles and responsibilities? How did you organise this? Was the allocation effective?

Jacelyn - Shaper. Wrote video script.

Jia Yi - Secretary, technical person. Create video.

Wen Wen - helped out whenever she could. Found videos, pictures, and editted script.

Mia - Taking down notes, summariese notes. Wrote and edited script.

5. Did your project have enough scope for every group member to play an active, full time part in the group work? How could you improve this?

We had enough scope for everyone to play an active rold in the group work. We all contributed ideas equally. It was pretty ideal so there weren't much room for improvements.

6. Was the workload manageable in the time frame given?

Improvements: Set a timer to help us keep track of our time as we take a very long to make decisions as our decisions ooften lead to debates. Some work was finished ahead of time, some behind time.

7. How effective were your minutes and agendas? How did they help you? How could you improve them?

Not very helpful, except to know what we did in the previous lesson. Our notes we found were more useful.

Improvements: make our agendas like our notes.

The Perspectives

1. How did you gather information and opinions/viewpoints from a personal, national/local and global perspective?

We researched on the internet. We used personal experiences to know what our target audience (our age group) wanted in the video.

2. How did/could you ensure you consider all these perspectives in your project?

Fish bone diagram. Improvement: Checklist.

3. Would your outcome need to be accompanied by some additional explanation or elaboration?

A little bit. We need to explain how our final product works with our outcome.

4. How could you make sure you include cross-cultural views?

Compare our target audience (secondary learners) in different schools (National, Chinese, Tamil, International).
