PSLE CW 2015: Being Considerate

Dear 6 Integrity,

Do take a look at other groups' planning for the various stimulus.r

1) Tray Return

2) Maximum TV volume

3) Reserved Seating 

A food for thought: Would you leave a mess behind at your own home too?

After I've read through the ideas you guys have came up with, I thought I'd provide you with some links to think of alternative perspectives you might want to take for your narrative planning, in particular, the trigger, quest and resolution. 

Meanwhile, do take a closer observation on how people behaves around you while you are out in public; can you spot some acts of consideration? Or better still, are you the one displaying such acts? (:

1) Returning trays at hawker centres does not deprive cleaners of jobs

2) It's not just the infrastructure to make tray return more convenient; mindset needs to change too.

3) Horrible manners on Singapore MRT reserved seats

When things get ugly...

Do be careful if you are taking the above ideas wholesale; remember, your writing should show consideration. It shouldn't escalate into a fight / brawl and both parties get sent to jail or to the hospital, etc. I hope you get the drift.

Alright, happy reading and I'll see you all next Monday.

~2 more weeks. LET'S DO THIS!
