Day 6

Day 6

On this day, we presented about our project in front of the class, Ms. Curtis, Mr. Burns, and Ms. Kruse. The purpose of this presentation was to introduce our Challenge Based Learning project, to explain our goal, action plans, challenges and essential questions we are trying to answer.

In order to successfully run through this presentation, first, we divided parts and assigned each part. Then we wrote the script to make the speaking more effective and send the written script to the group member who was in charge of creating the powerpoint. While making the presentation, we made sure that the group member uses more visuals than text so that the presentation is less boring. We went over the video about 5 main presentation skills, memorized the script, and practiced the presentation like real for several times.

Overall, our presentation was not bad. The teachers gave us great comments on our work and gave positive feedbacks on our Creative Project Overview project. They commented: they love how we have thought of the concept of showcasing creativity of the students to the whole community. Moreover, Ms. Curtis added that  students will be able to gain confidence by our project, which makes a positive effect on overall.

What we might have done better is that we could have showed our emotions and feelings to the audience — such as some enthusiasm towards the project --, or project our voices for clear listening, or included some body motions, in order to engage the audience better.
