Have I been giving good feedback ?

Blogs are a great way to receive and give feedback. This is because blogs are extremely interactive as well as a great way to share and discuss ideas. Feedback benefits everyone, and so, if they are displayed publicly, everyone can benefit from them.Also, through blogs, ideas can be shared easily.Through this, students will be able to learn more than by doing individual, private projects. Those who are shy to voice out their opinions in class benefit greatly from this. They can just type what they want to say or comment on and voila! its done. Goodbye nervous breakdowns ! :)
In terms on the feedback I have been giving, I have given both good and bad feedback. Towards the start of the term, my feedback was limited to 2 or 3 words. However, now, I try to comment on both my friends' achievements and mistakes, though there is still plenty of room for improvement.

Feedback

Feedback are the comments received about a certain piece of work. It is usually someone else's opinions on your work and can be both positive and or negative.Feedback is very important because it allows us to improve on our work and and learn from our mistakes. Feedback has to be specific and honest to be useful.

Blogs-Presenting my data

Presenting the data	Advantages	Disadvantages
Poster	catchy	Limited amount of space
Report	Unlimited space	Dull, boring
Power point presentation	Catchy, good amount of space	Time consuming
leaflet	Interesting, catchy	Can be too wordy

Questionnaire planning

I have decided to use general questions in my questionnaire. Also, I think uploading it on my blog instead of emailing it will collect more responses.

i have decided to investigate how to conserve water in your garden

Expansion on ideas

POLITICS:
I find it incredibly interesting about how something like water can effect politics. Ever heard of the Malaysia-Singapore water treaty? Well, its basically about how Malaysia supplies Singapore with water as they don't have enough. This has caused lots of controversy among Malaysians as they think that the government should be giving them the extra water instead.
However, Malaysia, through the fact that they control Singapore's supply of water, is able to blackmail Singapore into agreeing with everything they say by saying that if they don't, they will cut their water supply. Obviously, the Malaysian government enjoys having this privilege, who wouldn't ?

Water conservation in the kitchen :)

The kitchen is one of the places where we use the most water, though we don't realise it. Here are a few ways to conserve water in the kitchen :

• Do the dishes by hand. A few extra minutes won't kill you. Why use gallons of xtra water when you can get a way with so little? 
• Instead of rinsing your fruits and veges under a tap, fill a pan up and soak them. This saves tons of water
• Soak dishes that are hard to wash
• If you do use a dishwasher, load it to the max and use a cycle that doesn't use up that much water.
• Keep a bottle of water in the fridge instead of using the cold water dispenser. 
• After making a pot of coffee or tea, dilute the dregs and water the plants. This also provides them with plenty of nutrients
• Install a low-flow faucet aerator, this can cut water usage up to half. These few extra dollars will save hundreds in years to come

• is surprising how people pollute it even when knowing they need it to live
• its volume in the world has not changed since the world started
• how water can be both beneficial to our health as well as harmful
