n I have really enjoyed the extended project and it’s been a great addition to the our normal schoolwork. During the ten weeks I have learnt a huge amount and improved my presentation, decision-making, perseverance, and independence skills. I chose coral bleaching for my topic as I am really interested in the environment and this was an opportunity for me to find out about something I didn’t know much about. After beginning my initial research, I was surprised how severe the issue was and that people weren’t talking about this frequently in public. I was shocked to hear about the critical situation corals were in, and I decided to make it my duty to raise awareness. For my first lens, I chose ‘function’: how the issue works, and I decided to present my findings in a PowerPoint. For my second lens, I chose ‘perspective’ and I looked at different points of view on the topic. I presented my conclusions in a newspaper article. For my third lens I chose ‘responsibility’ and I created a bright and bold poster. Finally, I needed to decide on an action. I must admit that I chose one of the most unoriginal ways to do this: a cake sale! I will give 100% of the money to a charity called ‘The Ocean Foundation’, which helps marine conservation. In my opinion, it’s a great way to raise awareness with both adults and kids.
