=1st Aug ~ 3rd Aug = = = =Possible Solutions (Brainstorming 2)=

1st August 2008

ANNOUNCEMENT! I have inserted the duties in. Just do ur assigned job by **SUNDAY, 7PM.** If you have finished your job, there will be a "√" beside your name, which means "done". ~Kang Hui

here where you brainstorm the solutions, and write them in **COMPLETE and PROPER sentences**. Do elaborate on your solution idea. ~Kang Hui

Write your name **after each sentence**.

1.The R.A.G.G can give a talk to the students about the bird problem. We will address issues such as the dangers and problems caused by the birds, where they frequent, the reasons for them coming, and how to prevent them from coming to the canteen. (Kang Hui)

2. We will make posters featuring the issue of the birds in the canteen using pictures. The colourful pictures will attract the students. The posters will placed around the schools. We will have an exhibition area to showcase the posters, and when pupils come to view the posters, our group will explain the issues to the pupils. The issues, such as the dangers,the cause, and prevention of the birds. (Kang Hui)

1.) Give out Leaflets The RAGGies can give out leaflets to the students about the bird problem. It will explain the dangers of the bird problem and how it can be prevented. It will have colourful pictures and text as colour tends to attract people. These leaflets can be handed out in the hallways or placed in a common area. Melissa Tang 2.) Put the Birds Issue in Health Education Lessons The RAGGies can find a way to incorporate this current Birds problem into the students' current Health Education lessons. It would make a huge impact as many more students would know about the problem as they tend to pay more attention to what they study in class rather than just seeing it in the canteen. The students will learn what the problem is about, what they can do to prevent it, and what are the dangers of the problem. Melissa Tang

 1) Skit
The RAGGies can make a skit about the bird problem. We will address issues such as the problems caused by the birds, where they frequent, and the reasons that they come. We will also touch on how to prevent their arrival.    2)  Educating Videos    The RAGGies will make an educating video on the problems that birds cause, places where they frequent, and reasons why they come here. In the video, we will also focus on how to prevent them from coming. This video is to raise awareness on this bird issue.    ~Heidi~

1) the RAGG pupils can give small rewards like notebooks, keychains or stationary to pupil who never leave their plates lying around, who play their part to keep this problem at bay. This will thus motivate the pupils to keep the canteen clean and let the birds have no reason to cme to the canteen.

2) We can put up signs in the canteen pointing to the bins saying things like "Plates go there!", "Come on now, Chop Chop!". These can have a little bit of humor so that the students will not think that we are ordering them around. Then, the students will have no excuse to say that nobody has told them to put back their cutlery and crockery. They also will find no harm in following what the signs say. ~Jina

1) We can create games in put up a booth outside the canteen and attract people to play our games and hopefully, they will be educated and will not leave food lying on the table. Examples of games: We can have a board game similiar to the game of life and each player will be a sparrow/crow/mynah and each of them goes through a lifetime of stealing food, spreading disaeses, creating trouble etc. and probably it will teach those who do not know how much trouble a bird can cause a good lesson and they might stop leaving food for the birds. We can also have a game of 'catch' where there will be some 'bird busters' and some birds and the bird busters will have to catch the birds and the birds will freeze and have to wait for other birds to free them. while the birds are not caught, they can excrete (there will be something to act as waste), eat the 'food' lying around etc. at the end of the game, the team with the most birds caught/ most food eaten etc. wins!

2) The Bird Buster's campaign is actually all the solutions combined together so that we can educate the people what trouble birds can cause, how to prevent them etc. The following methods that I think are suitable are: etc,. ~Bijou (sorry for being a little late)
 * Skits/videos
 * Posters
 * newsletter/paper/website
 * Rewards
 * Talks
 * Leaflets
 * games

1) The RAGG pupils can send out letters to the parents, guardians and students raising awareness of the problem of birds in the canteen and what causes the problem, encouraging the students to clean up their table after eating so birds will not be attracted to the food and take the left-overs on the table and floor.

2) We (as in the RAGG pupils) can give out demerit points for every time a student goes without clearing the food and crumbs. Once a certain number of demerit points in acquired, the pupil will be subject to some sort of punishment. ~Nat
