Introduction to my project.

I have just joined student directed inquiry and these are some of the ideas i would like to explore.



  • famous people

  • history of black civil rights
  • making a short documentary movie

  • how to change the world


However, I would like to look at an issue about 'Students Against Racism', because I am involve in a group with Gini Ennals that look at those issues. I'm interested to find out if it changes people and if possible make a short documentary about this project.


On monday 22nd March, I presented my story "living in between" to students and teachers at lunchtime in the theatrette. After that we were to answered some questions from students and teachers about our presentation. I was really please to hear and know that my story have touched and changed some of the audience. So on wednesday the 24th we had to go to a discussion with a class. After we were divided individually into a group of students and they interviewed us about our stories. My group was so amazing and I loved every question they have asked me, because I know it will have a change on them. One of them said " It is really interesting listnening to your story and knowing you when through some things in your life".


Question: How do you stop anger and fear of things that happened to you in the past, so you can have a change and live a normal life?

From my point of view, you need to forget the past no matter how painful it was. It will do you more harm than good. As I know 'vengance is from the Lord'. you need to focus a head. things that happened in the past led you to where you are today.


Today the 25th of March, Peter Armstrong showed us a video presented by Jane Mcgonigal about gamers changing the world through gaming. It was very interesting because gamers are tackling a lot of challenges in the games to save the world.

this Easter Holiday was a great moment for me, I travel to Canberra. I went to see the Parliament house and that was my first time to go to Canberra and see parliament house.










This Video is from my last year communication project, but I have decided to put in because it's linked to my SDI project.

As I stated in the begining that my projcet is changing the world or if my story had been able to change opinions. so today April 29 I am doing a research on three famous people who changed the world and how they have been everlasting symbols of hope.
