ASPIRE – Term 3, 2010

How can we help?

This term our ASPIRE topic runs from week 6 – week 10. In the first week we are
looking at a variety of Health Organisations locally and throughout New Zealand and
looking at what they do for our society.

From here you will be working either on your own or in groups of 2 or 3. You will
select an organisation that you wish to support. You will be looking in-depth at this
particular organisation and at the challenges that they face. You will contact experts
and carry out further research and look at ways we can support/assist this
organisation.

In week 10 you (or your group) will be presenting back to the class.

In class we will be looking at:

Starship Allergy
Diabetes St Johns
Blood Donor Canteen

You can then select your Health Organisation that you will be supporting. If your
parents have any ideas, contacts, information please let me know.

From your last ASPIRE topic (Science Fair), some of your self evaluations stated that
you:

 Needed to use your time more wisely.

 Contact an expert and get more information.
 Proof read your work before presenting.
 Understand fully what you are talking about.
 Pick something that I am interested in.

Also please remember that you can work independently. If you do want to work as a
small group you all need to put in an equal amount of time and effort. You all need to
complete an ASPIE folder with your notes, research and plans in it.

There will be no homework in week 7, 8 and 9 as you will have to do a lot of work in
your own time!!!!!
