. “I am nervous.” Don’t be nervous.” Its almost my turn. “Do I have to go?” “Come on Ian don’t be scared.” “I’m not scared. I’m nervous.” Its finally my turn. I go up to the smart board. I present my ignite talk. I ended up doing okay on it. I thought that I wasn’t going to do well. It was really fun presenting in front of everyone. My sisters missed school to come to my presentation and my dad missed work. I thought is was cool that they took time out of their day just for me. It turns out I din’t use the pickles that I got. I presented in the computer lab. When we presented for K-4 no one came to the computer lab so we presented to each other. I also practiced once in the auditorium.

I CAN’T BELIEVE CAPSTONE IS OVER! IT WAS SO QUICK.

For my final project I’m doing an ignite talk. An ignite talk is with a slideshow. Each slide is 15 seconds. I was thinking ted talk or ignite talk. I was going to do a ted talk but when I heard that a ted talk had to be 6-8 minutes I said ” I won’t have enough information to talk for 6 minutes.” An ignite you just have to have 12 slides for 3 minutes. So I am doing an ignite. For my slideshow the each slide is a question. I will answer the questions. When we were in the computer lab I was going to start practicing. I couldn’t get past the first slide. YIKES. ” If I can’t get past the first slide with 5 people how am I supposed to do it with 150 people.” I am nervous that I will mess up during my presentation. I might stop because I forgot the words. I don’t want to write the words on index cards because I think that I have to exactly off it. If I say something that’s not on the card I will get annoyed at myself. I really want to do well for my presentation. I can’t wait!

My slideshow is down below.

 

 

 

I can’t believe we present in 8 days!

“Don’t forget guys.” “Answering your main inquiry question is due in two days.” Once I heard that I knew that I  was done. I hadn’t even started it. I was really nervous that I was not going to get my answer down in two days. I told Ms. Edwards that I haven’t even started it. She said ” Don’t worry.” ” Everything is going to be all right.” When we were working on capstone later in the day we were supposed to work on our main project (ted talk or ignite). Ms. Edwards let me work on my main inquiry question. I got half of it done. I was so happy.
