** __ WEEK 1 JOURNAL __ ** This is our first week in the stage 2 research project. At first lesson, we were introduced to the subject and the project that how we will be doing our project in this semester. We had some distraction because of our research project class. For some lessons we had to move around in other classrooms because we were told by the teacher. During this week we learnt many useful tips for the subject that how can we find our topic and how/where we can get the information from. The teacher gave us different useful tips and ideas so that we can choose a topic that interests us. We looked at hips of example topics that we can choose from or otherwise come up with our own interest topic. We are introduced to four levels of Research: D= Define your task L= Locate your information S= Select O= Organise P= Present E= Evaluation ** __ WEEK 2 JOURNAL __ ** This week the teacher talked about research project subject more in depth that how much it is important and compulsory. We have to choose a topic that will be easy for us and have the general knowledge about it. I am actually interested in different topics but I need to find the one that relates to me and I have some previous learning about it. ** __ WEEK 3 JOURNAL __ ** This week, the teacher introduced us to Research Project Proposal which will be due on Friday of this week. He gave us many sheets and examples for the proposal. He took us to the SACE site and gave some past example proposals from the past year 12 students. It helped us. Also during this week, i saw something in the news about Asylum Seekers. There was a nine year old boy who had arrived in Australia but had lost his mother and father and i think some other family members. Migration of the detention centre has said that they will send the boy back to his country Iran but many people protested again this, they said it’s not fair for the nine year old boy to bear. ** __ WEEK 4 JOURNAL __ ** This week, the teacher introduced us to discussion preparation that in week seven we have a 10 minute discussion with him about our research process. ** __ WEEK 5 JOURNAL __ ** During this week, there was more news about the nine year old boy who lost his family on the way to Indonesia as I mentioned some details about it in previous journals. ** __ WEEK 6 JOURNAL __ ** This week I met few Afghani people from The Migration Resource Centre who are working with asylum seeker cases since years. I talked to them and asked how they are going with the processes of refugees and their cases. ** __ WEEK 7 JOURNAL __ ** This week I met Hussain Razaiat, our afghan community council who have been in Australia for a very long time and working with afghan migrants and refugees. He is a very experienced man who understands the hardship life for all Afghani refugees in the detention centres, in Australia etc. He has a very general knowledge about asylum seekers and the facts. ** __ WEEK 8 JOURNAL __ ** This is the week that I had to prepare for my discussion. I had 10 minutes of discussion with the teacher about my whole project processes. In the discussion I talked about my research topic question, I also talked about my capability. I discussed that where am I sitting at the moment or in other words how far I have come with my project and how am I going to make progress with my research. Also this week we he had celebration of our New Year in the masque. We had a lot of people from Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth came to celebrate the first day of the year together. Beside the celebration, we had made several drama and serials about life of asylum seekers. We had some doctors from Sydney who came to see and watch the culture of Afghanis.

** __ WEEK 9 JOURNAL __ ** This week on Tuesday we had an Afghani meeting about two guys of our own nationality in our masque. The two guys have suicided and killed themselves because they had remained in the detention centre for a long time and thought that they might never get to Australia. Basically the meeting was about what should happen with their bodies, should send it back to Afghanistan or remain in Australia. Currently their bodies are sent to Perth and soon will be decided that what should be happening. As we can see how hard it is for them to bear in the detention centre for so long. ** __ WEEK 10 JOURNAL __ ** ** __ WEEK 11 JOURNAL __ ** This week the teacher introduced us to research outcome about the evidence of our learning which we have to start doing our drafts in the holidays. He told us the timeline that which stage of research we have to be at right now. ** __ Term 2  __ ** ** __ WEEK 1 JOURNAL __ ** This week I actually started my Outcome research which is the evidence of learning that we submit. i visited different new sites about my topic looking at advantages and disadvantages of asylum seekers coming to Australia. I met one new Afghani student who came in our school just a week ago. I had a chat with him and asked him how did he choose to come to Australia and how did he come here. He said he came in Australia by boat and I requested that if I could interview him for my research project as one of asylum seeker. He accepted and I hopefully will interview him sometimes during next week.

** __ WEEK 2 JOURNAL __ ** This week I have started preparing my folio or also the evidence of learning and evidences. I have to get together all of the information and research I have done so far for proof of my research. These are some sites that I visited for my folio. [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
