Malaysia Week Reflection

Malaysia Week 2012

Malaysia Week is one of the most talked about events in Middle School. Ask any student who has graduated or left ISKL and they will tell you that their favorite memories are about Malaysia Week.

For grade 6, even though you may have been a little nervous and worried about Malaysia Week we are sure that you had a fantastic experience.

As a lead in to this week, today you are going to write a reflection about your first Malaysia Week experience.

The overarching aim of the middle school's Malaysia Week is to meet other students, build relationships, take part in activities and experience sights and sounds that you never thought possible.

Before you left on Malaysia Week, you all completed your School- Wide Learning Result Reflection Essay in Humanities, so now is the time to apply the same reflection about Malaysia Week ~ Reflect upon the ways in which you accomplished and showed 4 of the 6 SLR's on Malaysia week and answer the following ( In a well structured 3 paragraph response) :-

In what ways did you Collaborate Constructively, Live Ethically, Communicate Effectively, Reason Critically, Think Creatively, and Learn Enthusiastically?

Be sure to include examples and evidence from your experience!

You may also include graphics and Environmental Sustainability projects.

We can't wait to hear all about it!

Enjoy
