Are these Peruvians aware of these rights?
What difference does it make that the rights are followed?
What exactly are the benefits of q u e s t i o n s ? Questions give you power to control situations. Questions help you gain information Questions aid one's active listening Questions give you bonding opportunites On Monday we presented our project pitch to Mr. Bon, and began to reflect together about our project itself. Our idea was clear, our product was clear, but our why… was only somewhat clear. We knew that we wanted to raise awareness amongst Peruvians so they’d begin respecting and following the human rights, but there had to be more specifying done if we wanted to reach success, which we realized just then. The brainstorming of the questions subsequently began. How did we get to this topic? Are these Peruvians aware of these rights? What difference does it make that the rights are followed? These are just some of the vast amount of questions we came up with, but it’s a point I’m trying to prove here. These questions, this time we put into thinking, was what gave us our why. Like mentioned above, our why had always been to start conversation between the Peruvian citizens to motivate them to make a difference, but coming up with all these questions really helped us delve deeper into actually understanding it. A goal I've set for myself from now on is to, whether out loud or in my mind, ask questions non-stop. Questions are what keep the brain going, what keep it progressing to make individuals smarter and better learners.

Cami, you got me thinking with this post, and I love that you got an important topic through something that happened in school, it shows that the class and the project is getting you to reflect deeply about everything, not just the product itself. This, once again, is the kind of post that makes the reader himself question (like you did with the project) and follow your train of thought. The way you write and use media in your posts is clear and refreshing, but it's also well-thought and reflective. Awesome work, keep it up!
