PBL Final Reflection

To me, this PBL has been an amazing way of learning. I have gone from knowing practically nothing about whales to knowing so much. I have learned about how they are endangered, what they eat, how much they eat and so many other extremely interesting things. I have also learned that the growth of Samana is affecting the whales incredibly due to the water pollution, noise pollution and the amount of boats going in and out of the bay. This made us realize that it has been our fault why the whales are affected. Lastly, I learned that the whales are just incredible creatures, and they are a great part of our environment.

To me the structure of the project was pretty good, but there were some areas that could have been better. For example I think that the reflections should have been done om paper since the process of making them was long and confusing. Other than this I think that it was a great structure. I enjoyed the schedule of the trip (other than waking up early) as well as the shared document and the activities we did. To me this was an incredible experience.

Whaling PowerPoints

Overall, I think that the power points were full of great information but heartbreaking facts. The power points helped me realize how bad whaling really is. The pictures they had also sent us a huge message of what the whaling companies do to the whales. I strongly believe that they should try to stop all or at least most of the whaling companies since there are already tons of other ways to get energy. Once again, I believe that whaling should be stopped immediately.
