For the final quarter, we learn about Thai culture. From the lesson, I have seen many symbolism of Thailand and saw a lot of Thai culture,such as Thai cuisine, costume, language, festival, belief, and also arts. However, I also learn that, Thai people did not care our great culture enough. Therefore, for our final project of the year, our teacher assign us to create product which can represent Thai culture in modern culture. I have a great passion in Thai famous literature, Ramakean. Therefore, I chose to redesign the character in this literature to be more modern and make it into the magnet. For the project, I chose to make magnet because I think that it is very well known souvenirs for people. Therefore, after I redesign the characters, which are Phra Rama, Sida, Phra Lak, Hanuman, and Thosakan, I chose to make them to be a souvenir which can be recognized easily. Therefore, I believe that this product will make Thai culture be well known in modern era. However, I have a lot to prepare before I created the product. First, I needed to do the research and wrote the detail and proposal to the teacher to inform about my goal and expectation. Next, I had to design and planned for my product, which I found it very difficult because I need to gather the detail of each character, redesign it, and then asked for the opinions from other people before I finished the design. I needed to change and fix the detail many time before I could find the best outcome, and also chose the materials to save the image and make magnets.
Reflection
For this class, I think it was a fun class that we had a great time studying in it. I like the way that teacher allowed us to show our opinion and answer every question whether it sound brilliant or stupid, and because of this, I have been encourage to speak and be able to participate in all kind of activities provided by my teacher. Also I love the activities in class which help us understand easier. For example, when we learn about society unit. Teacher gave us the sample of news and guide us to analyze it about how the problem in each unit occur. Furthermore, when we do the final project for each semester, teacher would guide us very carefully and tell every detail we need to know in order to make a great piece of work. However, sometime, I found it is difficult to lecture the lesson because the lesson was very fast, and also the works, such as taxes and law worksheet, is too long for me and need a lot of research because of uncertain answers from each source. Finally, I think the mid-term test is too difficult because some question,for me, cannot put in the choice, and too difficult to describe in words. However, I do like this class and found it very useful in the real life.

This unit allowed me to be Strategic Learner because I learned to recognize the important of Thai culture. Also, I have practiced to be Innovative Thinker because of adaptation of Thai culture into modern culture. Moreover, I learned to be Articulate Communicator to be able to understand the lesson and convince Thai people to care their culture. Furthermore,
I realized the meaning of Altruistic Global Citizens because I adapt Thai culture and show them to other nations, and the Leader of the Future because I respect my own culture and try to save it.
