Final Reflection


Date: Thursday 24 May

Venue: T001

Time: 1020

Subject:  Drugs



In this reflection, I will explain my opinion of Mohammed Abdul Aziz's presentation, because he talked about drugs which are one of the biggest probems in the world. First in his presentation, he spoke about most types of drugs called opium and weed. After that, he talked about a method of drug cultivation, modern uses to develop drugs and how they can make new kinds of drug when they put illegal chemical products such as heroin. Thirdly, he explained why governments cannot stop drug farmers especially in poor countries and how we can solve this problem by raising people's awareness. In conclusion, I think he used good methods to attract the attention of students, when he chose good pictures in his presentation and when connecting by eyes with all students. In addition to this, he speaks well in English, so he didn’t find any barriers when he presented his pictures.

My Reflection


In this reflection I will try to put my opinion about one  group. Two days ago, I saw an extraordinary group and Ahmed Omar was the best person in that group, because he had a lot of qualifications which made him the most informed person among them. For example, he was communicating by eye contact with students, he was explaining the pictures by using body language and he had fluent English. He was describing the situation from what was going on in the tournament. In addition to this, he had a sense of humor when he talked and when he presented his pictures so he kept the audience's attention. In conclusion, I think he had a good way to present excellent pictures and he delivered it quite professionally.

My Reflection

When we did a meeting I saw a lot of notes, but these observations are a positive not a negative. For example, when we started to solve problems, Abdullah and Mohammad helped me to find a lot of ideas, because they spoke seriously in the meeting. In addition to these, they listened to my opinions and interacted with my consideration. In conclusion, I think we did well, because we closed our meeting when we found a lot of solutions that we need to solve our problems

Alabed recommended putting real stories of drug addicts in newspapers and magazines. Abdullah proposed the idea of school programs in which students can be told of the dangers of drugs.

The idea of Installing Cameras in alleys and most suspected areas was introduced by Mohammed. Mohammed and Abdullah also agreed upon using members of the authorities as undercover agents to capture the perpetrators. Alabed accepted this solution.

Mr.Hedley pointed out that there are there is a death penalty for the distribution of illegal drugs, so the whole group agreed that it isn’t a good idea.

The solution of increasing more detox centers was agreed upon by the whole group due to the amounts of lives that can be saved from this drug.
