GET MARKS FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO BY DOING ACTIVITES ONINE: Planning 10 covers some parts of each of these aspects -- you will get marks towards your "Choice" section of your portfolio simply by passing various assignments in the class. If, however, you want 5/5 for any of these, you will need to do a bit more. So... you may choose one (or more) of these options to complete (let your teacher know when you are done, so your portfolio mark can be recorded):

1. You have had many opportunities for develop skills for positive interpersonal communication in Planning 10. Use your blog to write about the impact of these skills on personal, peer, and/or school-based relationships (gives you the 5th mark for Aspect 2.2). Start by doing a websearch on what makes good personal interpersonal communication skills (e.g. ability to listen, understand, communicate).

2. Find an online location where you can participate in an activity that supports or promotes human rights. If you can, you could start such an activity (a blog or web forum on tolerance or human rights, email campaign, getting information from a member of the government, etc.). You may also use your blog to evaluate the outcome/s of the human rights activity -- report on whether the activity is effective, etc. (can give you up to all 5 marks for Aspect 2.3).

3. Use the internet to help identify a local or global situation where action is needed to support or promote respect for diversity. First, define diversity (e.g. cultural, religious, generational, etc.). Describe the situation, identify the root causes and appropriate actions that could develop respect for diversity and lessen the conflict (can give you up to the first 3 marks for Aspect 2.4).
