Hello! Welcome to my blog! Welcome to the one and only place to read about MY reflection on our latest humanities project! The driving question was something I didn’t really understand, but now I do! “How can a text help me understand myself as my worldview is changing?” It’s long and kinda confusing right? 

Well, let me break things down for you. 

The Outsiders:

The “text” is a book called The Outsiders (if you haven’t read it you should). While we were reading The Outsiders we had multiple breaks in between chapters, to discuss our opinions in the form of role sheets. Every time we had a role sheet due we would get together with with our groups and present our role sheets. 

The Mind Node:

As a benchmark for this project we used the app called Mind Node to create a brainstorming mind chart to get the general idea of our own worldview. We added seven bubbles branching of the main bubble labeled; My Worldview. Each branch was labeled one of the seven main aspects of worldview, geography, time, beliefs, society, values, economy, and knowledge.

The Meme:

Next I’m going to explain the Western Worldview Meme! For this benchmark we made a meme that explains the western worldview. We chose the famous “its fine” meme with the dog in a burning house. We changed the words to represent the western worldview.

The lyrics:

Next we had to craft the lyrics of our song. Using our notes from the outsiders and learning about worldview, we made the lyrics of our song about how going into high school would change our worldviews.

The song:

Last but not least…THE SONGGGGG!!!!! The song was the final outcome of the project where we used our world view notes to create the most radically awesome remix of the famous song called It’s The End Of The World As We Know It by R.E.M. We were paired into groups and we had to record, sing, and make a music video! How cool is that?! And after all that work here is the final outcome!

Thank you for reading my post, and I hope you now understand what this project was about! It was a really fun project and I learnt so much from it!
