Second Day of Presentations (9/10/20)

Today was the second day of presentations, and to be quite honest, I was nervous. Even how much practice I've put into presentations, I can't help getting nervous in an environment where there's only tension. Nevertheless, I wanted to get my presentations done as soon as possible. I was unfortunately not picked to present today, but I want to take inspiration from the ones who did present today.

I could see from every presentation that the speakers were passionate, and this personally made their presentations very enjoyable and persuasive as an audience.  However, this at times can have the opposite effect. I found throughout listening to their presentations, that many of them have so much content to cover, that it lacks the presentation from being intriguing in some cases. One presenter, unfortunately, went way over the 8-minute time limit, and I felt that it could have been prevented if the speaker had their thoughts organized and shortened. This is another point that I noticed, but many of the presenters didn't thoroughly mention their biases, as well as creating a slide with the three main points for them. Also, some people's slides were placed differently than the format we were told to put them in, so it confused me a bit. Maybe they had a good reason to, but it made the presentation content a bit awkward with complex to comprehend. How some of them emphasized their voice was another point I wanted to take notes on. By knowing where and when to emphasize your voice, you are able to create an image that makes you sound passionate as well as convincing when talking about the content of the presentation.

These were some of the things I noticed during today's presentations, and I hope I will be able to fix these few points in my own presentation before the next class.

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 ...
