Im working with Max, Varun and Isabella. Our issue is Tourism inThailand. So far we are trying to find someone to interview and gettinginfo. So far, I think the we have been pretty successful in research andgetting it down on paper. We still need to do interviewing, puttingtogether all our info, and presenting it.

So far, our group is working pretty well together. We have achieved a lotof information and Interviews and we are pretty well organized.Today we interviewed Mr. Ashok who is a big link to the TAT (Tourism inThailand) Organization. He said that tourism is generally a good thing for

any country because they bring in good income with them (money).People who live in Thailand depend on tourists every day and tourismalso gives them good opportunities to be a better person. But a lot of thetime tourists have trouble behaving and they can bring diseases like HIV,

AIDS and foot and mouth disease. Also like Max said they come formedical or sex reasons.

Tourism Group: Izzy, Varun, Luke and Max: This is our last week of

preparing for our presentation for the Y6 Exhibition. We are trying tofinish up a Prezi. Then we have been working on and we have andelectric quiz that we are making a few adjustments to. Also with ourbooth that we have we are also working on an info graphic with has awhole lot of information and graphs on it. Some members of my groupare not fully interested in the topic that we have chosen, including me.Basically, we just chose it because there was really nothing else to do. Iam still thinking that we need to make a few adjustments to some of ourlines in the presentation because we need to make it quick so we do nottake up too much time. I hope that we achieve what we are workingtowards and we can only hope for the best of us. I hope that ourExhibition tunes out well. Im nervous a little!

Exhibition Final Reflection, April 1st, 2011

8/7/2019 Luke Exhibition Reflections

2/2

Yesterday and the day before we, the tourism group with Varun, Izzy, Luke and

Max, presented our exhibition work on Tourism in Thailand. It was very stressful.

We presented 2 times in the first day and 2 times in the second day. We were

supposed to do it 4 times in the second day, but we were behind schedule. When

we were in the booth, a lot of little kids and Year 5 kids came and started playing

with our electric quiz. I feel like they did not really learn anything because all they

were focused on were seeing the light bulb light up on the electric quiz, and

sometimes they came and when we tried to explain to them about what we were

doing, they would get up and walk away as if nothing happened.

I think that I had a good experience working on the exhibition and it gave me a

little more confidence in myself, and it also taught me to believe that I can do

something even when I think I cannot. I think that this taught me a good lesson.

This was hard work for me and my group from my perspective and some parts of

it were boring for me like doing research after research. The interviews were fun

and a little bit nerve racking. Recording all our notes was not very exciting. I grew

from this experience by helping me to understand the different perspectives of

everyone and the processes of the exhibition. I thought that is what really

mattered. How you handle and do the exhibition and it made me feel good about

me after we finished our presentations. I felt very pleased about me and my

group and how we worked together effectively. I forgot my lines a little bit in the

last presentation, but I still felt good after the exhibition ended. It made me think

about how much work we had done to get to this time we presented our work.

Mostly we used interviews to get our information, but we also used a bit of

websites. We interviewed Mr. Simon Scoones, the Humanities teacher in the

Secondary building, also Khun Bondee Pinkaew, the Secretary of Khunying Patama,

the manager of the Arnoma Hotel, Mr. Ashok Kapur, manager of the Thai Tourism

Industry, then Mr. Alasdair Junor, manager of the Sixsenses Hotel, and Mr. JackHurd (my dad). He gave us a lot of information on Izzys compass lens. I learned a

lot about my topic and I hope that other people did as well.
