What We've Done

I (Pamela) am passionate about this project because I want to focus on my future. If you think about it, we (as pre-teens) have to be ready for the world. Any of us could become the next prime minister, become a famous presenter etc. The world is literally in our hands. It's up to us how we treat the world and if we don't care then this world will become corrupted! Children are getting badly influenced by TV and songs, the next thing you know they will be swearing and taking drugs. Remember the riots? That include many teenagers! They were going round Peckham, Lewisham, Woolwich (etc.) and burning down shops/homes. Many teenagers died. How do you think the owners felt... Distraught, traumatized, horrified, speechless.
I think this project is a great opportunity to take advantage and be heard. Divine recently posted the story of how we came up with this. We, as a group, have became aware of the problems and situations that involve teenagers. As we were coming up with so many ideas, I decided we should make a blog where we can post what we are doing. Last month, in June, we held a bake sale at school which rose a reasonable amount of money (about £16.68). 
Divine came up with the idea of making a survey and giving to Year 7 students and some teachers. In the survey, the questions included were:

  • Do you think teenage crime has raised lately? Why?
  • What age do you think it is appropriate to have sexual intercourse?
  • Why do you think some teenagers are behaving the way they are?
  • Any other opinions?
To present our information, we have currently started making our PowerPoint. In the PowerPoint it says everything we've done on the project. This whole project is due in on Tuesday the 15th of July 2014 and we are expected to inform our class and present what we have done. This will help give us the overall level for Year 7 Humanities. When we present, we will tell our class what we have done (bake sale, sponsor, blog,  poster etc.), why we wanted to change this (next generation, focus etc.), why we are passionate (next big thing).
