After the Presentation

Gaga; the game we played in my finial presentation

Not too long ago I gave my finial presentation. A week before the finial presentation I went in front of three teachers for my rehearsal and they gave me a lot of feed back. They helped me think of new things to add in my project and gave me encouraging advice. When I went in there I didn’t feel unprepared but I felt like there was defiantly more I wanted to do but I wasn’t quite sure what it was. After I was able to give my presentation to an audience and hear what they wanted to know about what I had done, I was able to make the entire project stronger.

One of the things the teachers advised me to do was add statistics or some kind of grounding material to give my presentation just a little more stability. It wasn’t easy to find all the stats I needed and to fit it into my project but after I put the work in I was glad I had. It really made it seem legitimate.

I was a little nervous after I got the feed back and worked on it so Brendan came over and helped me the day before. It was really different to do the whole thing for him. Fortunately, when I did the finial in front of students it wasn’t bad at all. They were really cooperative, they asked questions, and participated in Gaga. I was very comfortable in front of the group of kids and I’m really glad everything went well.

Now I have to do the written document. I already have all of the rules, materials, scoring, and tips written out, all I have left to do is the introduction to my senior exhibit. In the introduction I will have the reason I chose the games, where they came from, how they build self esteem, and just a little bit more information on them.

Recently we did the Senior Exhibit Reception which was something I enjoyed last year because I got a better idea of what I had to do. This year I felt like the juniors really learned something and the parents seemed interested as well.

I’m so happy with how my senior exhibit turned out! I’m glad I had the topic I did and I’m really glad that I didn’t get tired of it. I wouldn’t do it again, but I’m not upset that I did do it. Overall it was a great experience.
