Galadriel Andrea Marin Perez
My name is Galadriel Andrea Marin Perez, I but I prefer to be called Gala. I
am from South America, from Santiago, Chile, and I am 15 years old.
My report is within the global context of self expression, and in Chile there
is so much street art in the city, which is a form of expression, and that is
exactly what my product is. With my product, I want to express myself. As
you can see it is a painting of a Venus fly trap about to eat a mass made
out of different colors. This was made on a wooden board.

Akane Iida
My name is Akane Iida. My topic of my personal project is “teaching primary and secondary students how to play volleyball.” Personally, I like playing
sports and I have played volleyball now for about 5 years and it is my favorite sport. However, I did not know the fun of volleyball until I joined the volleyball team in junior high school. I would have like to have learned to play
volleyball already at a younger age, so now I want children to know it and
to be inspired by it. For my product, I made a training plan with my experience and other volleyball players for children. Two students tried my training plan, I collected visual material of when I was teaching and made a video. Through this personal project, I improved my volleyball skills and also
communicated these skills to students at the same time learning how to
communicate them.
