Capstone – Blog Post 3

Link to my essay: Here

The essay portion of my Capstone took a long time to complete. I had to think of what to write. As I wrote I thought of new changes that made my essay better. Also, my friends helped by adding comments to my google doc. Sometimes I listened to their comments and sometimes I decided I liked the essay just the way it was. The more I worked on it, the better my essay became. The wording of what I wanted to say became better by eliminating and adding words. When I thought I was done writing my essay, my teacher helped by rewording my essay to make it sound even better.

To get ready for my final presentation, I tried to memorize my script to prepare for what I was going to say for each slide. I also made flashcards in case I messed up. I was initially going to do an Ignite but towards the end I switched to a TED talk. With a TED talk, I could auto advance the slides myself instead of them auto advancing every 15 seconds. Another reason I switched was so I could have as many slides as I wanted instead of just 12 slides. My final reason is because now I don’t have to say everything in 3 minutes. Now I have 3 – 5 minutes to present my information.
