In this video it talks about girls education and how it is an important right. This relates to Sharing the Planet - An inquiry into rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with other people and with other living things; communities and the relationships within and between them; access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution – because it is the struggle to access equal opportunities which is their right to education. Which would lead to conflict between the rich and the poor.

During this activity we used the ladder of participation to see where different types of action would be put into the levels of the ladder. We discussed what kid of action we could have taken. For example a poster assigned by a teacher would be on the fourth level of the ladder which is assigned but informed. Or making a poster, and video by yourself would be on the seventh level which is child initiated and directed. I learned that child initiated is the best action because it is proved that you understand what you are learning, and based on the actions we all came up with we ended up with the best action in that level. I also learned that when you just post a poster in the class, it is a low level of action because it does not get around. I think that this will help me improve my action for the future when I plan on taking action for this unit, because I now know what won’t make a big difference and what will.

While doing this activity I was in the “red” group, which was proved to be the most privileged group. I felt like I had a lot of freedom, and I didn’t have to follow many rules. I learned that you couldn’t take advantage of your freedom because it could lead to consequences. For example our teacher said that if you were in the “yellow” group – the least privileged group – they could switch with the red. But no one made me switch because I wasn’t taking advantage of my freedom. During this game, I worked by myself because I thought it would be most productive, and I followed all the rules. If I could do this again I would like to see what it would feel like to be in the yellow or blue group because I would like to see what it would be like if I had less freedom than I would have in the red group. For example what it would be like if I couldn’t talk to any else in another group or have to do jobs for the other teams.
This activity could relate to the Sharing the Planet theme – An inquiry into rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with other people and with other living things; communities and the relationships within and between them; access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution – because of our rights and responsibilities, which is the rights of the different groups – red, yellow and blue – and our responsibilities with our freedom. For example “yellow” did not have the right to sit on a chair, yet red could sit wherever they wanted. It can also relate to the conflict, because the different groups had many conflicts. For example when the red made the yellow let them copy, they argued because the rules said the red could only “ask the yellows to do small jobs for you” but they didn’t consider this a “small job” so they started arguing.

I would chose the clouds because in the water, there are many animals. For example, stingrays, if while I am sleeping they accidentally sting me I would get hurt. But if I live in the clouds there aren’t many things to harm me. I also would chose the clouds because its not everyday you can stand on clouds.
