Unit 4: Research Report
How do you create a reliable research report?
The first thing you should do is to find a reliable source. For me, I used a reliable news website and academic research by the Seismological Society of America and The United States Geological Survey, a scientific agency of the United States government as my references.
In this quarter, we studied and made a research report by using our research, paraphrase and summary skills. My topic was to predict the future San Andreas fault earthquake. I chose to do this topic because I think it is a very interesting topic, and something that could be useful for people in the future.
​ At first, i thought it was a challenging task, but the more I do it gets easier and easier. I had to go through many websites and sources to gather all the reliable information. My research report contains 3 subtopic; What is San Andreas fault, The Disaster That Will Happen in 2047, and How to Prepare for the Disaster.
Furthermore, we also did a silent short film. My group has 5 members, Me, Mini, Pleum, Pru and Kun. We decided to make a comedy-action movie named 'The Flush' which is about a boy who has diarrhea during the night, he went to the toilet and accidentally pulled into the other world. He has to complete the mission in order to go back to the reality. This was a very exciting project because i've never made a silent film before. We've learned how to work as a team, even thought there are some obstacles but eventually we finish the movie. We are so proud of our project.
