The Capstone share has finally come and passed! This year we presented in a different way.
- First off, we presented digitally instead of using trifold boards
- Secondly, 5th graders could either present live or present a different way
- Third, live presenters were assigned a place to present
- Fourth, students had to sign up to a certain place, and parents stayed in the room where their child presents
- And lastly, 5th graders presented two times: once for students, and a second time for parents
As I said in my last post, I did a live Ignite presentation, and I was assigned to present in my teacher, Mrs. Cooper’s, classroom. On Monday, when I was presenting for the students, I was so nervous! It was my first time, and I was worrying, will I speak loud enough, will it fit into the 15 seconds, will I mess up… But the next day was easier, since it was the second day. I was still nervous though because my parents and other parents were here! I found out that once I start talking, it gets easier. Also, as I practiced, I learned how to speak loudly, clearly, and slowly. I learned so much from Capstone! Below is the slide presentation I made and the video of me presenting.
This is the link to the video of me presenting.
Overall, I’m glad I decided to do an Ignite presentation. After all, life isn’t fun if you don’t take any risks, right?
