Reflection
Our global issues did an action project about shark's fin. We did several things to make people aware of this serious problem and learn more about sharks. First, We made shark's fin cookies with red dressing to make it look really gross to make people realize how cruel eating shark's fins is. We also sold red drink with jelly to give them the feeling of drinking shark's blood and disgust them. There were also games about sharks to entertain people and also teach them some facts about sharks. Also, we sold shark's fin neckglass to advertise. The tickets for movies were sold to show teach them facts about sharks, because many of them knows wrong facts about sharks, like sharks are human eaters.
I think we made a big difference, because I heard some people saying that they will never eat shark's fin soup again, which tells me that people started to get aware. If we get to do this again, I hope we make this action project bigger. I will make this project not only for 7th grade, but whole middle school, because during the project I realized that most of people who participated in this project were 7th graders or teachers. None of 6th graders and 8th graders came.
From doing this action project, I learned that action project takes time and patient to make it successful. Also action projects can be much more affective than normal projects. I also learned a lot of facts about sharks and shark's fin killing, it totally changed my mind about shark's fin soup. Before doing this project I use to enjoy eating, but now I'm totally disgusted, even feel guilty about myself eating shark's fin soup last time. I really hope there will be no more shark's fin soups made in future.
