Your hardwork is published!

Dear 3EA,

Congratulations on your completion of your work! I must compliment you that I enjoyed the presentation very much. Audience asked good questions and the PPT presentations were good. This is the first time we're learning in this virtual classroom and therefore there will be hiccups here and there. We learn from our mistakes. Now some comments for improvement in the next project:

- PPT not to be too wordy. More pictures. Remember, a picture says a thousand words.

- The presentation must flow and should not be disconnected.

- Rehearse for the presentation so that you're confident and smooth in your presentation.

- Do extra research and intrigue your audience with new information but do not overkill.

- Good use of comics, interviews, tables as other ways of presenting information.

- Presentation can be interactive, for e.g, asking audience for their opinion or asking them to vote etc.

- For Googledoc collborative work, there are free riders or weaker members, encourage them along.

My own reflection is that I should give you more time to explore this. Sorry that we did this in a rush but I'm sure the next project will definitely be better. So now you can enjoy your friends' presentation slides below. Well-done!

Singapore Healthcare: Activity 3

Dear 3EA,

Most groups have posted their final 5 questions and I must say the quality of your questions is high and I'm impressed. I'm heartened that some of you took initiative to lead in crafting or confirming the last 5 questions (these pupils deserve more marks*hint*).

I'm still waiting for some of your emails, please submit quickly so that you can start working on your presentation slides. Leon, you still have not submitted your 5 questions! Find solution, go to the comp lab or your friend's place and just do it!

Now let's move on the next exciting activity of collaborative online slide presentation work.

Discuss among yourself who to do what question. You can use the e-learning forum to communicate or in class to discuss. You'll present your PPT next week on Tuesday and Wednesday. Each group is given only strictly 10 min. The assessment rubric for your presentation is below. Make sure your whole presentation flow. This activity is 50% of your grade.

Some tips on a good PPT Presentation:

1. Make it simple, give the key ideas.

2. Explain the details in your presentation but not put all the points on the PPT.

3. Lots of picture to illustrate your main points.

4. Make sure your presentation tells a story, there is a flow.

Singapore Healthcare: Activity 2

Dear 3EA,

Good work from those who have submitted your work on time. For those few who submitted late, it's better late then never. I'm still waiting for the laggards who have not done their activity ! ASAP!

I enjoy reading all your comments. Keep up the good work! A few of the pictures and comments such as Afiq's and Farhan's ones are interesting. Most of you seem to have a good impression of Singapore's healthcare, describing to me Singapore's healthcare as efficient, accessible and advanced. Are there any flaws with our healthcare or indeed our healthcare is really so superb? The next activity will bring you to discover answers to the above questions.

I'm going to use the Enquiry-based Learning (EBL) to teach Singapore Healthcare in this virtual classroom. This activity is 20% of your CA.

What is EBL? EBL requires:

1. pupils to work in groups

2. use a research-based approach towards learning

3. organise what you've researched on and present the information in a meaningful way.

Our research question for this topic is:

Are Singapore Healthcare policies meeting the needs of the people since the 1980s?

1. I need you to brainstorm at least 5 leading questions that will help you answer this 'big' question. You can look at your textbook for some ideas on crafting the small questions. In other words, what are some information you need to gather before you can answer this research question.

2. I need each of you to post your 5 questions in the CCSS E-learning portal. This is how you do it:
- Log in to the school E-learning portal
- Go to the tab 'Conversation Tools',
- Go to 'Chai Chee Forum',
- Go to the heading 'Sec 3 Social Studies',
- Go to your designated groups to post your questions.

3. The various question words are 'What', 'Why', 'Who', 'Where', 'When', 'How' and so on.

4. After everyone has posted the questions, please discuss among yourselves in the forum which are the 5 questions that will best help you answer the big question. Do all your discussions in the forum. I'll visit the forum to give you my comments on your questions too. Once you've decided on the 5 questions, please put them in your forum post with the heading 'FINAL'.

EVERYONE MUST POST 5 QUESTIONS. I'll be tracking your names through the forum entries.

Assessment Rubric

	Crafting of small questions (20%)
A	Very active participation and constructive comments given to each other to improve the questions.
B	Active participation and some constructive comments given to each other to improve the questions.
C	Little participation. Comments are too general to be useful.

Deadline: 18 April

3EA: MD Muhaimin (35)

This is the Kandang Kerbau women's and children's hospital. Because of this hospital, it shows that Singapore really cares about the well-being of her citizens that the government build this hospital especially for women and children. The hospital provides healthcare for women in labour or children in need of medication. It also proves that Singapore is a well-developed country to provide such healthcare as to build a special hospital just for women and children alike.
