This is a Harry potter Pop up Book which is my inspiration for my exhibition work. I used to do pop up card before and I really enjoy it. For pop up book is very challenging for me because when I started to work on it, I found that it's harder than I think. It need a lot of detail and need to spend a lot of time even one page. I want to make my work become a good pice of work but yes! it's really hard for me.

Group Exercise

 Acknowledging Differences – CROSSING THE LINE
                    •  10 mins: Instructions
                            •  15 mins: Participation
                            •  10 mins: Blog
           1. Write about your feelings
·         I feel comfortable with this activity. Some questions, I think it is personal but I’m not feel bad or embarrassed to answer it. 
           2. Write about how you think other people felt
·         From the activity, I think other people in the class feel comfortable with it. I didn’t see any worry or embarrassed from them.
           3. Write about how the exercise helps you understand and accept differences
·         This exercise tells me about some information that I have never known and I afraid to ask my classmate. Something may be not a good thing about them but I can accept it and I hope they can accept that bad thing about me too. It shows that every one is different life and different style but we are equal in a human right. We should respect and accept the difference between people. 
        Give examples (from the exercise or your own life) for all 3 topics above 
Sometime some people ask us in the thing that we don't want anyone to know it like very personal
things. I will avoid it or just tell them I'm not comfortable to answer.

Here is the video about "What to say to someone who asks you a personal question and you don't want to answer". I think this is a useful things that she talking about when someone tell you a personal thing but you don't have to share them about your because they will tell other people. I always think if that person tell me their personal thing that means I can trust them. Actually, it's wrong.

            3. What is the difference between “discretion” and “judgement” in your own words?
I think discretion is something that you think but judgement is the thing that you think and do it.

            (explain by using examples)
Because I think  Avoid unsuitable things that might be happen is important. Some people know that thing might cause unsuitable thing but they do it like copy someone idea. Respect other people decision and thinking is also are the very basic thing.
