THAI CIVIC DUTIES
GRADE 12
quarter 1 :
WHAT DID I LEARN?
In the beginning of the school year, I learned about social structure and social institution as a major topic. For the former, the teacher taught us about citizen's status, role, and relationship between people. For the latter, there are 7 different institutions:some of them are family institution, economical institution, and educational institution. After that, the teacher assigned the students to read the news and evaluate them, then I and my friend started doing our project.
How did i do?
To start the project, we, students were separated in to 5 groups with different news. For me, I was given the news of the monk who did not behave in manner,so I need to evaluate it and make connections to my lesson. While doing the work, I read it first ,and then, I thought and wrote my idea on the paper in about 10 minutes. After that, I discussed with my friends and exchanged our idea. Then, I went back to my original group ,and shared what I has discussed to my team.
For the last process, we mixed all of our ideas together ,and start making poster. Initially, we agreed to create a theme about heart ,so we separated in 2 small teams which the first teams did drawing ,and the second team did writing. Lastly, when everything is finished, there were 4 people who went to present so that they kept rehearsing ,and I helped them by giving comments and advices.

How can I relate to school eslos?
In my opinion, I think that I am an articulate communicator. Since I had to talk to different kind of people to exchange, controvert, and comment the ideas, I needed to be able to speak and talk well and effectively. Also, I am an innovative thinker because I need to think a lot to critique the news and even think about the poster design.
quarter 2 :
In this quarter, the class started by doing the pre-test to test our knowledge before learning, then my teacher Suwattana Maneechareon started introducing about the government. After that, we started learning about the form of government from pre-history to until present time. It can be seen that Thailand always has the king as our leader of our country even though our nation has changed to democracy in recent years, the kings always be the heart of the people. In this class, we focused on everything about the system of government ,including unitary state and federal state and even connected to other countries. After that, we learned about the Inspection of Exercise of State Power which I think that it is very important for us because we can help the government and even our country to see who did not do proper job for the prospectus of our country. Lastly, most important lesson, we studied about law in everyday life which I think I have known a lot of knowledge which I haven't known before such as public law and private law.

ARTICULATE COMMUNICATOR : Speak and respond appropriately to the social and academic context
To study, I needed to discuss a lot about social context. For example, there was an activity which me and my friends had to talk about the right of the law which was about 2 children involved in a law case and we needed to think who is right and who is wrong. Also, I had to speak properly because some words could be inappropriate and dangerous.

quarter 3 :
What I Learned?
In the beginning of the third quarter, we started the class by learning about the criminal law which was about the body of law that related to crime. I learned its structure, importance, and punishment that made me felt after studying that law is very significant to myeline and my country since it helps to protect life, right, and security of the country’s citizens. The second thing I learned was the taxation which I learned about how tax is structured ,and how it is distributed, plus we did some activities related to this topic such as finding the use of money in the organizations so that we could check the progress of the government. Furthermore, I did study about the international agreement that occurred in this world. In this lesson, I knew about its structure ,and how it is conducted, plus finding the example of international agreement such as the treaty of versailles. Then, importantly, my teacher taught the students about humans right. In fact, human right is important to everyone in this world because there are many people in the recent decades that suffer from lacking of human right;therefore, if we study about the human right, we can understand and support it. In this class, we learned from the real life experience, and learned about the laws and organizations related to this rights. Lastly, at the very end of the quarter, the class studied about the consumer protection which was about the law, duties, and organization. In my opinion, this topic is directly related to my life because I consume food everyday, so I can help to see whether there are problems or not so that I would know what to do. I also did learn about the universal law in the fourth unit which was about the way, laws, and theory from John Locke about how to be a good citizen.
examples of my works
This is the work I did in the unit 4. It was about finding my role model which could be any person from the past or present. In this case, I chose Mother Teresa, and I chose to choose her because I know that she is a great person who is an inspiration for many people to do good things. As it can be seen that she did a lot of things in her life. She helped people. She devoted herself to take care of people. She was kindhearted. Therefore, I feel that I appreciate her,and I want her to be my role model.

thai costume recycle project
There was a major work in the Thai study department which was the creating that costume by using recycle materials. For my class, we decided that we were going to make the woman costume in the theme of 'Thai Farmer' because we know that farmer is very important to that society from the past to the recent decades not only in producing the rice for our citizens to consume but also in creating the culture, tradition, and economic. Since this was a class work, I and my classmates decided to separate our task, and my role was to write the essay in Thai. To perform my task, I did some research about Thai farmers as I wanted to know them better. Then, I thought with myself about their importance ,and I wrote about them with my appreciation and by heart of a patriot. When I finished my work, I was really proud of myself because it was the first time that, to be honest, I really thought about the significances of farmers and express them for other to see like I see.

STRATEGIC LEARNERS : USE A VARIETY OF SOURCES TO LEARN
Actually, I used a lot of sources to study in this class. For example, I used a book as a source to find the information to do the project, and I usually used the internet to find the answers of some questions.

INNOVATIVE THINKER : PERFORM CRITICAL THINKING
As I did the Thai costume project, I needed to write the essay about Thai farmers and my class's clothes which means that I needed to read and understand a lot until I thought about them and wrote them down on the final paper.

Final project
In this quarter, I did the project about creating modern product with traditional style. Before doing the project, there was some activities that the teacher have us as a guide. For example, my teacher opened music videos relating to Thai cultures, wisdoms, and modern Thai. the, she let us to list what we saw that were Thai's such as clothing, food, house etc. Also, we did the document that helped us in planing about our project. In this document, it helped us to think about our project's topic, importance, and background information. For this project, I chose to cook Thai food combining with other countries' food such as korean, japanses, and european food. To make my final product, I did a lot of research. I searched about the history of Thai food and also other's. Moreover, I searched many food receipts and practiced cooking a lot, so that I would cook the food my best and satisfy others. In my opinion, I didn't get only knowledge about Thai food but I also got experiences in cooking and thinking skills.
