In the charity fair we get to make up a hand made product to sell at the Charity fair. You give the money you raise to a charity that the student council chooses based off of the presentation. MY group made bags that were made out of old t-shirts. The charity that we chose was CCFA or Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. This charity wants to help people that have these diseases. Crohn's is a disease that makes it so that your intestines develop cysts that can make you feel abdominal cramps and tenderness. You also may feel extremely tired, feverish, and have a huge loss in appetite. Colitis causes your intestines walls to be bumpy and out of shape. This causes major discomfort. 1.6 Million people have Crohn's and 907,000 have Colitis.
Backward-looking: Have you done a similar kind of work in the past (earlier in the year or in a previous grade; in school or out of school)?:
We do this every year at school around Christmas time so that we can raise money for charity and give it go to a good cause. In the previous two tears I donated to St. Jude. The first year I made art and some white chocolate chex mix with my partner and all of the money went to St. Jude. The second year was the first year the student council voted so it did not go to St. Jude but it was still a great charity. That year we made hair bands out of hair ties. Every year we have to do the cost and profit, make a presentation, make a tri fold, make a product, pick a charity, etc. Every year this is an important and fun thing that our school does.
Inward-looking: How do you feel about this piece of work? What parts of it do you particularly like? Dislike? Why? What did/do you enjoy about this piece or work?
I feel like this piece of work is a great way to give money to charity and to teach us more about the problems that have happened and how we can help fix them. It helps bring awareness to problems and I love that we get to do this. I like that we get to get in a group and come up with a product that we want to sell to people and that we get to choose a charity that we think is a good charity. I dislike that I did not have my priorities straight and that one night I had to stay up late to do the script. I enjoy that we got to present one by one so that wen people come by to buy our stuff they already know everything about our charity and why we like this charity.
Outward-looking:Did you do your work the way other people did theirs? In what ways did you do it differently? In what ways was your work or process similar?:
All of the students at adventures goal was to make a product that we would be going to a charity and to have a good presentation to persuade people into helping our charity. We all had to pick a handmade product that had to be from $0 to $5 and we all had to make a presentation and present about what our charity is and why we chose it or the cause of what this is helping. We all did it different because most of us had different charities and all of the products and their prices were unique. Our process was similar but the end result was different for each and every group that did this project to help charities.
Forward-looking: What would you change if you had a chance to do this piece over again?
If I had the chance to redo this project I would try to make it so that we worked on it more over the break so that we did not have to worry about doing the script and the tri fold all at one time. I would make it so that we were not as behind because it took us a long time to come up with a product as well as a charity. I would make it so that when we were doing the vinyls to put on the shirts we did not wait to do it all last minute so that we did not have to work on it at home and so that we did not have to do some of the printing and the pressing the on of the vinyls because it was stressful. I think there was a lot more small things that we could have changed but I loved the end result.
