FAMILY

(Service&Creativity)
Finally, on 11th May we had an event to celebrate parent's at the chuch. We have several things to show to our parents such as candal worship and sign language. As I mentioned in the plan, we have been preparting this for 5 months and we named it FAMILY (Father And Mother I Love You- such a creative name!)
Actually, we divided groups and practised individually in teams, so I couldn't see others practicing properly before the rehersal, but they were all really good. I really appreciate people who led the teams well and others who practised hard. It went really successfully, especially when we showed the messages  sang parents'song together in front of them, some of them moved to tears. However, on this performance I was a delegated to be a host(MC) who should form the atmosphere and introduce each peformance well, but I was too nervous in front of many people and these great performances went a bit awkward and I think these great performances were ruined by me. However, looking back, I think this was a good chance that I first speak to many people and taking this opportunity, I will be better next time if I get another chance. And this cooperation and efforst will be unforgettable as we really did hard and did well.

Academic honesty video

 

As mentioned in the plan, the aim to make this academic honesty video is to show that cheating, which is actually not considered as a big problem for some students,

There was no one in my group who has much experience of editing videos or have great skills on it. Accordingly, we couldn't make a professional video, but we tried to convey the importance of academic honesty in simple ways. It didn't take us ages to produce this video, but as this one is my second video, some editing processes, for example putting subtitles for the right timing according to scenes and music, made us difficult.

Reflection of other people on our academic honesty video
Good points that we reflect and others comment on:
- first person perspective
- funny subtitles and it makes watchers more concentrate on the video (including humor)
- In simple ways, the message was conveyed straightforward and clearly.
- enjoyable music

Weaknesses
- Definitions of some words pass too fast to read- quite inefficient
- There is a scene which it was a bit difficult to understand
- Could have given variety in music. Although music was joyful and helped the video not to be boring or too serious, it might have been better.

Evaluation
Overall, I think we  made a satisfactory video which well reflects academic honesty, regarding we don't have much experience on editing. Furthermore, I think this video quite successfully achieved the primary aim to show that academic honesty is unethical, because the person who cheat in the video ends up with failing. However next time, if we take into account others'opinions during the process of making a video, the final version would be better.

Plan for chruch event

 In church, students have planned to hold an event by ourselves with little financial helps of teachers. We wanted to do something meaningful which we can show love of Jesus towards us as well as our love towards parents. As a member of executive, we made a vague plan what to do first and delegate responsibilities for each of us. We made lists of things they could participate in and let them choose at least one of them. Also, we were free to any suggestion they wanted to do on that day, but it should be related to parents.(no one suggested anything though). We had to make invitations, announcements and practiced what we are going to show. There were lots of things to consider and do and it was hard to control about 50 students, especially when practicing. I and my friend were responsible for a team with 15 members and since they tended to  Also I was worried whether we really could make it happen and succeed it. It was the first time that students made an event and show it in front of all the people in church. And since I will spend my holiday, I won't be able to do overall rehearsal on 5th May with others.
