__**Assignment 5 - Reflection for 'Your World Tour'**__

1. Whilst doing the "Your World Tour" project, something surprising I came across was how hard it was to find eight definitive moments in my life. I had to keep thinking about what happened to my life when I was younger, and although I'm only 13, I found that quite challenging because I couldn't remember what had happened. I realised I have to keep making new memories to be able to remember them later on in my life. 2. Whilst doing this project, one thing I think I did well was put my voice and opinion into my writing in the balloons. I tried to make my words have voice because I think it's really important to make the words you write sound like you, rather than something you read off any book. 3. If I had to do this project again, I would try not to stutter as much whilst doing the voice over. Whilst doing the voice over, I misread one or two words making the flow of the voice over a little rough. 4. For this project, I would grade myself between 'Proficient' and 'Extending' because although I followed all the directions given to me, I made two spelling mistakes and stuttered once or twice during the video. In Student Expectations, I would give myself an Exceeding in all three areas because I stayed on task the entire time, behaved appropriately, and completed the project on time.

2. 2001- I went outside Bangladesh for the first time since I was born. I went to Penang, Malaysia with my parents, brother, cousins and grandparents for the summer. I don't remember anything from it, but since then, I have travelled to a lot of places around the world. World Event- In 2001, the first iPod was launched by Apple. Currently in 2013, there are four versions of the iPod including the iPod Nano and the Ipod Shuffle. In my opinion, iPods are the best devices to listen to music right now, especially because you can take them with you to anywhere. http://cdn.asia.cnet.com/i/r/2007/mp/62032174/ipod-timeline-crave-3.jpg

5. 2005- For the first time in my life, I travelled outside Asia. I went to Australia for the summer with my entire family, and stayed there for a month, traveling to 4 cities, including Sydney and Melbourne.

World Event- In February of 2002, YouTube, one of the most popular websites today, was founded. It gets millions of viewers everyday, and has videos about almost any category you can think of. YouTube is mainly used for entertainment, but I, along with many others also use it as a learning medium. http://s.ytimg.com/yts/img/youtube_logo_stacked-vfl225ZTx.png

6. 2006- I made my first pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, the two holiest cities in Islam, completing my first "Umra" (pilgrimage). I stayed in each city for three days over summer. It was really interesting learning about my religion and about the two cities themselves. World Event- In October of 2006, Ban Ki-moon was elected as the new Secretary/General of the United Nations. Before accepting that roll, Ban Ki-moon was the foreign minister of South Korea for four years.
