Collaboration fluency – Pop can race

We tried to use a special method to win the race. We knew that the most of groups were going to use static electricity. We kept thinking what can we make a special method with given materials. Our method was using a plastic wrap to roll the can. We thought it is a great idea, but it was risky to roll. We did not think about risky part, so we lost the race, but we enjoyed to do. Our communication was going well because we did not argue much, we agreed each other and trust each other. If we thought about the risk of our method, we would win the race.

The elders are watching

  • “We do not inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow the land from our children”
  • How does this quote relate to how we use electricity in our every day lives?
  • This quote says that the land are our children’s. It relates to how we use electricity in our every day lives. Electricity is important in our lives as the land, so it means that we borrow the electricity from our children as we borrow the land from our children.

The sanctuary

The sanctuary

The ending of the sanctuary is the happy ending because shan’s grandmother died at shan’s grandmother’s house. She kept to say that she wants to die at her house. If she died at shan’s family’s house, her family would regret to not listen her wish and her grandmother would be sad. Also, there was many memories in her house, so she did not want to be far away from them. Normally, people do not like to be far away from their hometown. They miss their home when they are far away from their home. Especially, she had a strong homesick. She had left her house only three times before. It is why she missed her house more, even though her family cared about her and loved her. The ending of the story is made by her grandmother’s emotion. When she died, her emotion was happy, so the ending of the story is the happy ending.
