For our exhibition, we have to take action, SO I decided to do 2 because the first one wasn’t enough to me.
My first action was doing 4 paintings with my group, each representing a different rite of passage. We wanted people to analyze it, think of how it connects to you and how a rite of passage may have affected your life somehow. We got it done before the exhibition so we put it up in our booth and we explained what we did to the visitors. We’re trying to get it put up somewhere in the school so that other people can see it too. I think that the degree of participation that my action is is Number 7: Child-initiated and directed, because we thought of it ourselves and thought of our own ideas.
Here’s a photo of the paintings in our booth but it’s quite blurry:
I’m planning to do a second action, which will be done on the last day of school (June 11, 2013). My friend Karen’s going to help me, and we’ll be doing something special for the whole grade to congratulate them for going through a rite of passage and completing Grade 6. The reason that I’m not saying what it is is because Karen and I want it to be a surprise for the whole grade, because anyone from the grade can just come and read it, they can spread it to the whole grade, and then it won’t be a surprise anymore. I think that the degree of participation that my action is is Number 7 too: Child-initiated and directed, because our teacher actually thought of the general idea (congratulating people after they go through a rite of passage), but we thought of it in more detail; and we’re also going to do it ourselves.
