Blog 24: Last Presentation Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

I would have to say what I am most proud of is completing the whole senior project. Everything from the research checks to all 3 presentations. I am really proud because in the beginning of the project, I couldn't see the other side . And now that I'm at the other side, It's unbelievable to think that I'm here now and graduating.


(2) Questions to Consider

a. What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

"P" , I would most definitely give myself a "P" because I met all the criteria and hit every category , I wouldn't give myself any higher than  P though because I didn't really go above and beyond in anything.

b. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

"P" I would give myself a P because unlike many of my peers, I actually kept up to date with everything through out the whole year and turned everything in.

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?

What worked for me in my senior project was finding mentors to mentor. Because at first It was hard to find a mentor under my topic and I though I was going to have to change my topic but I luckily found two mentors over the year.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project?
Nothiog more but improve on my overall presentation (block), because I felt like my topic allowed me to have a fun presentation but I didn't have one because i Procrastinated a tad bit. So just improve on my presentation so it would have been more engaging for my audience. 

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use examples.

Senior Project has been on my Passion so it definitely made me realize how much I love this sport and why I'm involved. This project also made me realize that this is something I would definitely love making a career out of.

Lesson 2 Reflection

1) What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 presentation and why?
       I'm most proud of my presentation/powerpoint I would have to say because I was really nervous  that my powerpoint wasn't long enough and I wouldn't hit the ten minute mark for talking time. Four slides into my presentation, I looked at the clock and realized I was having too much fun with my audience and needed to hurry it up actually.  I'm proud of that because that made my presentation experience so much better.

2)What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
"P"

b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
Time use effectively, Appropriate body language, Powerpoint designed and used appropriately.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
What worked for me in my presentation two was my hook because i felt that the audience was really engaged and enjoyed the Jason Parks friendship video part for Thrasher Magazine.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
I probably would've planned a better activity for my audience because my activity wasn't to fun in my eyes. 

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

I think my answer two is probably going to be somewhere in the competition field. Competitions are global and spread recognition for competitors quickly. That would be a great answer for my essential question. 

Blog 11-Lesson 1 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why? 
During my presentation, i felt like it was a bit more engaging to my audience than others were. So my presentation being engaging to the classroom is probably what i'm most proud about.
2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract. 
I met all the requirements except for one which was referring to one published article that you have read, so i would have gave myself an 'AP' because i didn't meat everything.
3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson?  How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2? 
I would definitely have prepared just a little bit more. Maybe rehearsed all the way through my presentatoin instead of just half ways.
