Today, 2 teams did their presentations. I'll be writing about the main problems the 2 teams had, and the methods or ways of preventing them from happening next time.

First, the first team's slides were very hard to see. They would put the light text on a white background, making it very hard to see and honestly an eyesore to look at. For example, the slide showing the bar graph to support the problem they found was a great slide. Unfortunately, the text indicating what the graph represented was too light to be visible, making us viewers/listeners confused about the information they were trying to cover in the presentation. Next, the second team's videos didn't have any volume. They were trying to explain to us that the desks and chairs make a lot of noise when we need to move them, but the video they showed was muted, ruining to make their statement reliable or true. This makes it have a smaller impact on the viewers/listeners, and also making the information they are sharing weaker. Lastly, both teams were nervous and sometimes didn't face the audience. When they played the videos in their presentations, they would face the screen and explain or they would just let the video play while they rest. This makes an imaginary barrier between you and the audience, even if for a short amount of time this is not a great way to interact with them.

These were some of the problems that stood out to me during the 2 presentations today. I hope to learn from their mistakes and improve my presentation and slides.

Summary of the 1st semester

This semester, I have learned so many new things from the things Mr. Paterson has taught us. He taught all semester long how not to be scared, but to be confident in yourself, and how we can learn to become the best presenter we can be. He also introduced many of us to new useful apps, and how we can incorporate technology into our studies for the better. First, he taught us how important and useful technology is these days.At TGUISS, we first and second graders are not allowed to use our phones inside the school campus. Mr. Paterson was the first teacher and class to let us use the technology we have access to, and this let us experience and explore new things about technology that Japanese schools had been hiding for a long time. We finally got to organize everything based off of Google, and got to see how convenient everything around us was getting. Finally, he taught us how to become more confident with yourself. This is one of the reasons why he’s so passionate about giving a pr...

PR Photos (4/21/21)

In today's class, we first were told we had 7 minutes to take an appealing photo to promote our school. When doing so, there were various tactics to make the school's photos look professional or interesting to best attract new students. Prior to doing so, we were explained some bad examples of places to take pictures. First was an old building that used to actually be a pool, but the exterior made it look like an abandoned building with weeds and vines growing everywhere. Next, we were taken to look at the library. Personally, I think the inside of our library would be suitable for taking pictures, but then I could not say the same for the outside. The library has big windows, but with all of the blinds closed, you would not be able to tell that the inside is a library through a photo. I decided to take a picture at a high angle of the west building, including the blue sky so it would look more appealing. Others were taking photos of the school entrance or trying to include asp...

The Mark Of Athena (Chap. 5-8)

Chapter 5 (Leo) The ship was badly damaged. Leo wished he could create a time machine to go back two hours and undo what had happened. What he had done. When explaining what had happened to Annabeth, he tells her that he couldn't control whatever had possessed him. It just felt like he was watching himself do things. Annabeth asked him if Octavian had tricked him, but Leo knew he clearly had done everything. As much as Octavian was a jerk, he wasn't the cause of it. He told Annabeth that he had felt a cold feeling, and with that, Annabeth almost seemed scared.  Annabeth was called down belowdecks from Percy, who was with Piper and caring for Jason. He had gotten a cut on the head which looked pretty bad, he just hoped his friend was okay. Annabeth asks Frank to watch over Leo, and Leo decides to let him meet Festus. They reached the bow of the ship, and the figurehead turned to greet them. Festus was once a full bronze electronic dragon, but due to some accidents, Leo had ...
