PLAN OF INVESTIGATION

I was diagnosed with ADHD (Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) as a younger


child. This type of disorder has negatively affected my performance throughout my
academic life. I want to develop a clear understanding of ADHD and acquire the
confidence to educate other people as well. I expect to have accurate information
about this disorder, develop new vocabulary and the use of proper grammar. Also, I
intend to develop fluency and confidence in public speaking. Additionally, I intend to use
the internet to collect songs, visual demonstrations and movies, to obtain substantial
information about ADHD.

Piece One: Song: Maintain
Consciousness by Relient K lyrics
Our concentration it contains a deadly flaw

Our conversations change from words to blah, blah blah

We took prescription drugs but look how much good that did

Well I think I had a point, but I just got distracted

Lately it just seems to me

Like we've got the letters A.D.D.

Branded into our mentality

We simply can't focus on anything

Because its

17, 18, 19 routine

And here at 23 it's the same old me

And that one thing of the moment

That we all happen to like will

Only very temporarily

Kinda break the cycle

Of the double-edged sword

Of being lazy and being bored

We just want more and more and more

Till it's all we can afford

To keep our eyes open for just one more day

To keep on hoping that we'll stumble on a way

To keep our minds open for just one more day

Cause its completely up to us

To maintain consciousness

Well no one can possibly listen to this

More than 4 reps is just monotonous

We're losing interest, losing interest, losing interest

Reflexion 1
I have chosen the song by “Maintain Consciousness” by Relient K lyrics as my first
piece. The lyrics of this song depict the experience of living with ADHD. It resonated
with me deeply, as I found solace in knowing that someone else understands the
challenges

My second piece, is an You tube video entitled “ADHD teen experience” This video
provides a concise overview of the symptoms associated with ADHD and showcases how
a child with this condition may react in various situations. Watching this video give me a
better understanding of my own disability and how I can relate to it.

My third piece, is a movie that entitle "The Disrupters." This film delves into the lives
of children with ADHD and also highlights the journeys of famous individuals who have
achieved success despite having this disorder. My confidence improves after learning
there is numerous individuals in the world who have thrived with ADHD.

Reflection Two
In my first piece, entitled Maintain Consciousness. The figurative language of this song
appears to be onomatopoeia. “Our conversation changes from words to blah blah blah
blah blah”. People who have ADHD they tend to struggle to focus on conversations
frequently distract themselves.

My second piece, entitled “ADHD teen experience”, appears to be informal because


most of the video show him interacting with peers. “ADHD is a diagnosis; it is not who
you are”. This quote means that even though you have ADHD, you not should not let
that disability stop you from what you can achieve.

My last piece entitled “The Disruptors”. The documentary appears to use figurative
language. “The gift is that you can see something that others cannot see”. This quote
means that you have an ability to understand or perceive what the average person
cannot.

Reflection 3
Throughout this SBA, I have gained better understanding on ADHD. This has
encouraged me to do more and made me feel confident in my ability. During my
research I saw how many people become successful with ADHD and that made
me realize I have the ability to do anything that I put my mind to. This SBA has
help me to expand on my thinking skills, my vocabulary, comprehension and
learning to speak more fluently in public. Furthermore, I have been able to have
proper time management and also there were great changes in my thoughts
about myself. In doing this SBA, it helps me improved on my communication
levels which lead me to having a proper bond with my classmates and my

Group Report

The topic that was chosen by the class was on disabilities and how can people
with disabilities live their lives. Obtaining the information was challenging
than expected. The pieces that were chosen are a poem on Autism, a video on
ADHD and poster of different reading strategies.

The poem describes the unique way in which autistic people think in comparison
to an average person. The poem also provides entertainment while providing
information on autism.

The video entitled ‘The Brain on ADHD’ is about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder also known as ADHD. This is a neurological condition where persons are
easily distracted and impulsive. ADHD disrupts a part of the brain that deals
with impulse control and the ability to concentrate. Persons with this disability
will experience difficulties to focus on anything such as completing assignments.

The poster entails six methods that are used for helping students improve their
reading and understanding skills. Each method can also assist students with
their critical thinking skills. For example, the strategy ‘Questioning’, students
can ask meaningful questions before, during and after they read. With the help
of these reading strategies over time students do well academically.
