Third Day of Presentations (9/15/20)

Today would be the second week of presentations, and I had perceived that Mr. Paterson's grading would become even harder. My honest wish was to be able to present this week because I knew I'll only keep stressing myself over it. I had revised my slides from the last class and had looked over my script multiple times, so I can say I was quite prepared. Luckily, I was chosen to present today, but I became nervous almost immediately because I had to present first. 
My presentation started, and it started off as a not-so-bad start, to say the least. I had practiced so that my presentation would fit in the time range, but I found myself talking at a hasty pace which honestly wasn't great. As I continued to speak, I had a bit of trouble with properly pronouncing words and had stuttered in between sentences. I think this happened because I thought that if I had stopped or made space for dead time, I would find myself forgetting what I had wanted to say at that moment. Fortunately, I was able to say everything that I had planned on saying, but my presenting time as a whole felt short. This worried me because I hadn't planned it to have been so short, but I hope I was just in the time range. Overall, I think I was more natural in the second half of the presentations, and weirdly enough, I was least nervous in the q and a section. 
Everyone else that had presented after me did great as well. Of course, there were things that stood out, but overall, everyone seemed prepared to deliver a decent presentation. I plan on revising my presentation slides for my own learning purpose, and to reflect on it for every 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 ...
