Reflection
In Individuals and Societies, I learned about the Industrial Revolution. I learned about the different aspects of it, such as regarding the innovation, transportation, communication, and the quality of life at that time period. I learned that the major changes include changes to the economy because of the mass production of goods, agricultural advancements because of the increased production of food, economic changes because wealth was distributed more widely, and also political changes because of the changes to the distribution of power among citizens. I had two major assignments this quarter, which were creating an advertisement promoting a certain product invented during the Industrial Revolution and also creating an essay regarding how the ideas caused by the Industrial Revolution made a change to women’s rights. I was interested in these topics because one of my favorite topics is learning about the history of the world.

Sample Work - Women's Rights Research
Teacher's Assessment
This is my best sample work because I was able to achieve a good score in a major assignment of the quarter. This assignment was also a challenge to me, as the topic, which was women's rights in the Industrial Revolution, was something that I was not that familiar with. Even so, I still put my best effort into it.
I think I did well in providing enough information about women's rights and also showing my understanding of the topic through the essay that I wrote. I also think that I made a research question that was able to be explored and also providing an outline of what I will write before writing this essay. Other than that, I also did well in providing arguments about the points that I chose and also researching relevant information to it.
I can improve this essay by putting more explanations to the information in the essay and also think more critically. I also need to improve the analysis of the main points in the essay and also providing more detail into it.
This assignment develops my understanding of the global context Fairness and Development because I learned about rights and responsibilities of women before, during and after the Industrial Revolution, the relationship between women and the community, the living and working conditions of women, the opportunities of women, and the conflict caused by gender inequality. This is shown as I learned about how the government and society acted towards women, the inequality between men and women, the human capability and human development of women, the rights and law regarding women, the power and privilege that women had, and also the authority and freedom of women.

Reflection
In this quarter of Individuals and Societies, the main topic was World War 1. I learned about the series of events of World War 1 from the start of it, which was when Serbian nationalist Gavrillo Princip assassinated Austrian Duke Frans Ferdinand as a political statement because the Serbians wanted independence, until the end of it, which was when Germany was finally requested a ceasefire and had to sign the Treaty of Versailles. I also learned the alliances, nationalism, imperialism, controversies, resources, technology, strategies and outcome of the war. Before learning about that, I had a group project in which I had to create a Public Service Announcement video regarding child labor in coal mines during the Industrial Revolution. This was related to the topic that I learned in quarter 1. I learned about the struggle that children had to suffer during that time through that assignment and I also became more thankful for the life that I have now. Another assignment that I had this quarter was to create a newspaper article that would fit into the 1910s. It was regarding one of the technologies during the war and I chose to make an article about aircraft carriers. I designed it the way a newspaper would have looked like during that time. Overall, the topics that I learned this quarter interested me because learning about World War 1 was something new to me as I had very little knowledge about it before and I also liked learning about history.

Sample Work - World War Firsts
Teacher's Assessment
This is my best sample work because I was able to create a creative and an attractive newspaper article. The article is designed to look as if it was published in the 1910s. It informs its readers about one of the technologies that was made during the industrial revolution, which was aircraft carriers. I was a able to put my best effort into this assignment and in the end, I was able to get a pretty good score.
I think I did well in following the guidelines in creating the newspaper article and also arranging the information logically. I was able to explain each section, such as its use and role, in detail and also show my understanding of it. I was also able to give accurate descriptions and examples. I was able to communicate the information in a creative way and also use a wide range of terminology. I also documented the sources that I used to research about aircraft carriers.
I can improve my article by thinking more critically in writing the explanations and also make sure that each section of the article is clear and easy to understand. This is because the connection of aircraft carriers to the population, such as how it affects the society, was unclear.
This sample work relates to the global context of Globalisation and Sustainability because I learned about the invention of a new technology. I learned that because of world war 1, nations around the world created new technologies so that they could win the war. I learned about the use, role and significance of aircraft carriers. I also learned the impact of it towards the society of the world and also how it was able to be invented because of the industrial revolution. This shows that I learned about urban planning, strategy and infrastructure.
