HOW IT STARTED ?!

AT THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY 2024 OUR AVO TEACHER SHOWED A VIDEO WITH AN EXPERIMENT MADE BY IKEA. THEY PROVED THAT WITH POSITIVE WORDS YOU CAN MAKE A PLANT FLOURISH AND WITH NEGATIVE WORDS, IT WITHERS. AND IT’S THE SAME WITH PEOPLE. SO OUR TEACHER STARTED A PROJECT FOR BETTER DISCIPLINE IN OUR CLASS. SHE MADE A LIST FOR EVERYONE TO TAKE TURNS TO BE A HELPER AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISCIPLINE. THE RESPONSIBLE PERSON COULD ONLY SAY THESE REMARKS: “BE POSITIVE”, “DON’T BULLY” AND “SILENCE.”

WHY THE PROJECT NEEDS TO BE DONE !

I WANTED TO DO MY JOB VERY WELL ON THE DAY WHEN I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISCIPLINE. THIS PROJECT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US BECAUSE WE ARE GROWING AND WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE NEED TO RESPECT EACH OTHER. I WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO USE THE REMARKS AND MY CLASSMATES LISTENED TO ME. THE PROMPT “BE POSITIVE” MEANS TO BE GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE. “DON’T BULLY” REMINDS US TO RESPECT AND “SILENCE” CHALLENGES US TO BE QUIET.

WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISCIPLINE IN CLASS, I WAS REALLY EXCITED. THE PROJECT WAS “HEALTHY” FOR OUR CLASS, BECAUSE WE NEEDED AND SAW BETTER DISCIPLINE. WHEN I WAS IN CHARGE FOR TWO TIMES, I USED ALL OF THE REMARKS GIVEN BY OUR TEACHER. THE FIRST TIME I WAS WORRIED, BUT THE CHOCOLATE PRIZE IN THE END REALLY SURPRISED ME!

DISCIPLINE

BEFORE EVERY AVO SESSION, OUR TEACHER SAYS WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISCIPLINE ON THAT DAY. THEN SHE WRITES THE REMARKS ON THE BOARD TO HELP US REMEMBER. WHEN IT WAS MY TURN, I WAS A LITTLE SHY TO USE ALL THE PROMPTS BUT I DIDN’T GIVE UP. I THINK THIS PROJECT IS VERY USEFUL FOR OUR CLASS!

IT WAS A GREAT TIME FOR ME TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DISCIPLINE IN MY CLASS. THIS PROJECT IS VERY HELPFUL FOR US AS STUDENTS BECAUSE NOW EVERYBODY WILL LISTEN. THE REMARKS I USED THE MOST WERE “SILENCE” AND “BE POSITIVE.” MY CLASS WASN’T FOCUSED AND NEEDED TO BE REMINDED TO BE SILENT. MY TURN WASN’T HARD FOR ME.

HOW IT ENDED !

I THINK OUR CLASS HAS DONE VERY WELL WITH THE PROJECT SO FAR. THE PROJECT WILL FINISH AT THE END OF AVO SCHOOL YEAR AND EVERYONE HAS TO TAKE TURNS TWICE. THE GREATEST BENEFIT FROM IT IS THAT WE WILL STOP OFFENDING EACH OTHER. I NOTICED THAT AFTER TAKING THEIR TURN, MY CLASSMATES CHANGED POSITIVELY. WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT WE BEHAVE BETTER.
