UISG MYP Special Features Personal Project Showcase 2015 | 页面 18

Silvana Spano
My name is Silvana Spano but I go by Lana. I am 16 years and I was born
in Germany, but I am Italian. My parents are both Italian but we mostly talk
in German. I have lived in China since summer 2013. My favourite colour is
blue and I am a vegetarian. The Personal Project was a quite interesting
experience with a lot of bumps and exhaustion. I did my personal project on
the issues of the vegetarian diet. Even before coming to China, I chose to
avoid eating meat because I am against mass animal husbandry and mistreatment. I don’t like to eat meat or fish because it’s like eating humans for
me.

Yun-zhen (Serenity) Liu
I am Serenity and I am from Taiwan. I am 15 years old now and this is my
first time doing such a big project. My interests are running, doing yoga,
traveling and enjoying famous local foods. When I started doing my project,
I was confused about what I was going to do, but when I thought about my
habits and interests, I realized that I can prepare Taiwanese food for this
big project because food is actually my favorite thing. Even though I come
from Taiwan, I actually had not known lots of famous food from Taiwan, so
that was another factor for my doing this project. From this personal project, I learnt how important time management is, and we should actually
plan our project step by step, so not to mess it up.

Kihyun Kim
This is my first year at UISG although this is my third year in an international school. Therefore, I needed to research about UISG before arrival but it
was difficult to decipher valuable information from long texts because they
are all written in foreign languages. However, from these difficulties I became more interested in information sharing and thinking about easier
ways to inform audiences.
The goal for this project was to allow people to understand information easily, regardless languages of they speak. This goal was set by links between
the past experience that I mentioned in the previous paragraph, Google
video, which was about Plain English Campaign and the global context,
Fairness;sharing finite resources with other people and with other living
things.
Firstly, I limited the information in the goal to the information about UISG.
Then, I needed to decide the way of informing, regardless languages of
they speak. The survey gave me an answer that the easiest form to receive
information in foreign language was video. Therefore, I created a video
which introduces about UISG as the product.
