Name: Jennifer Sanantha                Topic: The sixth sense                  Date: 8^th of May 2012

AREA OF INTERACTION DECISION CHART

Decision to be made:

Which AOI best suits the goal of my topic?

Goal = To learn about the 6^th sense 

Alternative 1

Community Service

Advantages:

I can focus more on researching about the topic, which I am interested about. I can also focus on also helping my community deal with the topic

Disadvantages:

Need to know both communities: the community who has the 6^th sense ability and my targeted community. To know the community who has 6^th sense will be the most challenging one though, as it’s a different/new community for me.

Need to change the targeted community’s mind about the people who have 6^th sense, which is going to be hard.

Alternative 2

Health and Social Education

Advantages:

I can focus more on learning about the things I am confused and interested about

Disadvantages:

Won’t get the community to be really involved in my project

Need to know the community who has 6^th sense, which will be kind of challenging for me, as that community is a different/new community for me.

Alternative 3

Human Ingenuity

Advantages:

So I can focus on being more creative with my movie that I’m going to make as my final product

Disadvantages:

I don’t really like tech stuff.

I want to focus more on knowing about the topic, because I am more interested in the topic rather than the new movie techniques I can use to portray the topic.

Decision made based on alternatives:

Health and Social Education because I want to focus on learning about the 6^th sense
