Final Exhibition Reflection

Samarbir Singh

 

This is my final exhibition reflection as our Exhibit is now officially over. Phew! The last few weeks have end really tense. We were getting the last minute things done such as printing making stuff. The unbelievable thing is that we made bookmarks in two minutes by printing them out and cutting them. Just a reminder My topic was ‘Genetic Modifications’.

 

Exhibition has been really fun. I have enjoyed the experience of timing things out or planning out when to do what. Exhibition has also been very hard as sometimes we would have to keep on doing a certain task until we perfected it. It was also very frustrating when the teachers announced  you had to finish the task and you hadn’t even started, or when you took so long to do something and one of your group members or teachers say that you don’t need it or it isn’t necessary.

 

I have learnt lots of things from exhibition. I have learnt how to expand my characteristics such as thinking of things two ways, I have also learnt how to reflect on my ideas like ‘will it help with my task’ and being open-minded was in the past I have always been thinking that my ways are right but I have learnt to accept and respect other people’s opinion and have adapted to that. I chose this topic as my past knowledge of my topic was pretty narrow but I have expanded my knowledge by learning how different aspects of Genetic Engineering all connected.

 

I did good in my talking especially with adults as at the ‘Exhibition Evening’ I was able to answer most questions people asked. I was a little disappointed with the day when we explained our topic as most little children don’t know about basic info such as genes, DNA so that’s why I didn’t have much people coming to my stall. My strongest point which I reckon was that on exhibition night I was able to hold my customers in so they don’t get drifted away or lose interest. The most challenging customer was a person from ‘St John’s School’ who was firing questions at me. I am proud of the way I have presented my work and of my research.

 

I feel that my issue isn’t known about around the world that much. So writing letters to important people for my action was good thing as I was raising awareness to the ministers. I am also raising awareness by teaching students about respecting, treating and learning about organic gardens. So they can raise awareness about limiting the amount of genetic modifications our society uses.

 

Thank you for in tuning about how my exhibition is going this year. It has been a lovely experience sharing my knowledge with you. If you have any questions about genetic modifications just write it in the comments section and I will hopefully be able to get to you very soon.

 

Thank You in anticipation,
