Daniel Kang presented on his Celebration of Learning. He discussed how he developed ways of knowing through language and perception via his experiences in Model United Nations (MUN) and IB HL History. For MUN, he learned about using labels, stereotypes, and emotive language to represent different countries. In IB History, he learned to have appropriate expectations, avoid selectivity of perception, and justify arguments with evidence. Going forward, he will apply these lessons in perception to look beyond surface levels and consider underlying motives, while his language skills will help him interpret meanings and impacts.

Constructing A Case Study
Use many specific examples from your notes indicating your subject's behaviors and developmental level in various areas. Remember, it is extremely important that the conclusions you draw in this paper be richly supported by your observations. And because of the Pandemic, these observations can be those of the Parent or Guardian that you interview.
Your case study will follow an outline form
.
You will copy every number, letter, and underlined topic onto your paper, followed by your own material. (Double space between the six major categories. Single space the information within that topic.)
EACH SECTION HAS SEVERAL TOPICS AND QUESTIONS LISTED. YOU SHOULD INCLUDE ALL OF THEM.
Give specific examples and details of what you saw and heard your subject do and say that let you know about his/her developmental level, skills, personality, etc. If you were unable to observe certain behaviors or skills during your observation hours, indicate this on that item. Most areas will be easily observed during this time.
USE ONLY THE MADE UP FIRST NAME OF YOUR SUBJECT & OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR PAPER.
Do not include real names.
USE COLLEGE-QUALITY WRITING SKILLS.
Use complete sentences, proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Proofread your work for typographical and spelling errors. Use a dictionary. Use Spell Check and Grammar Check if using a word processor. Poorly-written papers are more difficult to grade than well-written papers.
UP TO 10 POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FOR THESE ERRORS.
Note: You need to copy/print the following outline for guidance. You can highlight and copy the outline, then paste it in a word processing document.
OUTLINE OF YOUR CASE STUDY
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHILD
A.
Demographic information
:
Give information about your subject. Identify subject's gender, age, race/ethnicity (actual or presumed), and socio-economic situation if known or can be accurately presumed. Share any information regarding developmental milestones (sitting, crawling, walking, and speaking) that you are aware of. Also include unusual information noted by the family, teacher, staff etc. (health problem, etc.). Look for items that may explain your subject's behavior, reinforce what you've seen, or contradict what you've noticed. The subject may act one way at home, another way at school or may be growing out of a stage, maturing, developing, or changing.
B.
Physical description:
Give a complete physical description of the subject. Discuss height and body build in comparison to other people the same age, hair color and style, and any other distinguishing features. Mention if there is any knowledge of physical issues and whether the subject receives any physical or occupational therapies.
C.
Cognitive & Language description:
describe any cognitive observations or information received, such as if the subject receives special education services, is below, at, or above grade/age level in various subjects, in.

2. Introduction Name- Daniel Kang Age- 17 Born- Seoul, South Korea Lived in- Canada, Turkey, Thailand 5th Year at ISB
3. Ways of Knowing The four ways of knowing: Reason, Perception, Language, and Emotion. The two for this presentation are: Language & Perception. Examples are MUN and IB HL History.
4. Language- MUN Model United Nations Main purpose is to simulate actual United Nations. Various rounds of debating and taking the position of the country you represent. Includes labels & stereotypes, Emotive meaning.
5. Why did I choose this example? Labels & Stereotypes- If your country is predominantly (example) then so are you. You represent that region or nation. Emotive meaning- Using strong, radical words to persuade or to promote your cause. =(?)
6. Perception- IB HL History Taken both in junior and senior year. Wide range of topics from causes and origins of wars to economic downfalls Parts of perceptions such as expectations, selectivity of perception, and justification.
7. Why did I choose this example? Expectations- Mr. Morton taught never to assume anything. ALWAYS an underlying motive. Selectivity of Perception- People tend to see what they want to see. Root cause of misconceptions. Justification- Being able to justify or provide evidence is critical in writing essays or supporting arguments.
8. How does it help me understand? MUN is helped develop my public speaking skills, cooperation and collaboration, and overall state of world politics. IB HL History taught me to not always assume and be ready to back up your arguments with strong support and evidence.
9. Future Using this knowledge, perception and language are both useful Perception- Looking for underlying motives, realizing biases or prejudices. Language- Observing language that may be useful or harmful. Knowing the various interpretations of language. Diplomats
