Last Thursday, we got an assignment called an ignite. We had to tell a story using 5 slide and we had 15 seconds on each slide to talk about it. On each slide was a picture that goes with what your saying. We also, had to have an introduction and a conclusion so, we had to have 7 slides in total. I had no idea what I should do so, I went home and looked through my entire house because, I wanted to do how to make something. I couldn’t think of anything. Then I finally came up with an idea after 2 days, which is How to Make Cupcakes. I didn’t want to find pictures online so I decided to make cupcakes. I also wanted to make cupcakes because I thought that it would be more powerful having pictures that I took. I got right to work and made my cupcakes. When I made the cupcakes I took pictures of every step. I took more picture then needed just so I would have extra if one picture didn’t work out. When it came time to put the pictures on the slides, I ran into a problem. The problem that I faced was that the pictures weren’t fitting the whole slide. I tried a bunch of different ways and finally decided not to have it fill the whole slide. Once I liked where all the pictures were on the slides I wrote my script and started practicing. I changed my script a couple times until I thought that everything match with the pictures. I wrote down my script on index cards to help me practice but then I soon realized that I would get so used to using index cards that it wouldn’t be easy to remember so I just decided that I wouldn’t use them. Eventually I got really good at remembering what I would say. Memorizing is easy for me so I was able to practice right away. Even though I really knew what I was saying I was still nervous to represent, but when it came time to present I was nervous at the beginning but I got more comfortable as I went along.

Here is my final project:
