Welcome to St Mary's Campus, Semester 2 2011.During your time @ St Mary's you will have a range of tasks to complete as part of the Wikispaces assessment task.In order to make things happen!! I ask that each individual 9 BROWN class member create their own page in the 'SMC Reflections page' and put your name to it.When you have created this page can you please copy and paste the following questions on to your page.We will discuss this further in terms of expectations etc during class. I will also issue you a Wiki rubric that will further outline the expectations. Please note the following Reflections and Discussion Posts need to be completed by FRIDAY 23rd SEPTEMBER. We will continue to use the Wiki beyond this date as a communication tool. Regards Ms Kays Each student will build their own page for the purposes of Reflection. This is because when two students are using the same page at the same time the page will not save properly. Each week for 10 weeks you will need to write a reflection about your experiences and opinions about the topic. Each reflection is expected to at least 200 words in length.The topic or questions you are asked to reflect on are listed below. Copy these questions to your individual reflection page. Thank you
 * Reflections **

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? What would happen if you threw a piece of trash on the ground? What if everyone did? What would you do if you saw a friend cheating - report it, confront the friend or nothing - and why? What do you think courage means? What do you think makes a good friend? What is your most indispensable possession and why? What do you think about people polluting the environment? How do you feel when you do something wrong? How do you feel when you do something that is very good? I wish there was a law that said... This would be a good law because... When you are angry, how do you look? When are you happiest? When have you felt lonely? When do you feel proud? Which quality do you dislike most about yourself - laziness, selfishness, childishness - and why? Why do you think prejudice exists in the world?
 * Week 1 **
 * The best piece of advice I have ever received was to never let a boy take advantage of you. My parents taught me this. They always said that the reason they always told me that I was beautiful and that they loved me was because they didn't want to be deprived of that when I get my first boyfriend. He would tell me that I was beautiful and that he cared about me and that I was special, just like you would have always wanted from your parents, and then he would take advantage of that and try and get you to have sex with him. My parents told me that they want me to live a full and happy life, and being pregnant as a teenager would destroy that opportunity. Our parents care about us dearly, and they want to get the best out of life, so they give us advice. It may be from thier own experience, our the experience of a friend. We should listen to waht they have to say, whether we like the advice they're giving or whether we don't. **** If you ask me, that's a pretty good deal. And if you think about it, parents give pretty amazing advice, it helps us get through our day, and prepare us for the future. **

 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">If I threw a piece of rubbish on the ground I would be harming the environment. If everyone threw a piece, we really wouldn't have an environment to care about and preserve. Think about it; if everyone threw a piece of rubbish on the ground since the beginning of rubbish, we wouldn't be around today to ask the question. If we each suddenly had the idea to litter every single thing we ate or drank, we would pollute and kill the Earth so quickly, our generation wouldn't live past 50. We need to take care of the World around us, or we risk losing our very selves. We would ahve to stay inside to start, then we would have to stay in a little closed space to avoid getting sick or catching a disease. Pretty soon, we will have had enough of it and either killed ourselves form the boredom of being locked up forever or we would have died of hunger or thirst. If we each do our part and throw our waste in the bin, our World would be so much safer, healthier and cleaner. **

 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">If I saw a friend cheating in any form I would confront them about it> ask them why they have cheated or are cheating. I would try and get them to stop what they're doing wrong and if they didn't, I would have to report it. I would feel guilty about it, but it will have been what was right at the time, and it would help that friend in the future> What if they started by cheating on tests, then boyfriends/girlfriends or a friends boyfriend/girlfreind? What would happen if I they got thier first office job, but had someone else do all the work and then take all the credit? If I hadn't done anything about my friend cheating, I would feel even more guity later in life when they're in trouble for something they had done and I couldn't do anything to help, I'd be too late. If you see a friend doing something wrong, you should do something about it straight away. Don't leave it till they get into big trouble, when you can't do anything. What will you be able to do then? Will you regret telling on them, or will you regret not? **

 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px;">My most indespensable possession is my iPod. It is the only thing that can help me to calm down when I am having a fight with a friend or family member. It keeps me centred and at peace. If I didn't have my iPod, I would probably survive, but it makes me feel calm. To quote one of my Glee shirts, "Music Is My Life!" Plus, there's also all the games to play. Some entertainment for when things get dull or boring. **
