I have been working on my TED talk and it’s all starting to come together. The project has been very time consuming but it has been worth it.

Making my iMovie has been taking a while but I’m done with it and now I’m working on my TED talk and it’s working out really well. The iMovie is about 3 minutes and 50 seconds long and I’m very proud of my work.  Now I’m trying very hard to get my script memorized and that is what I’ve been trying to do for the past three days. My iMovie has been going up and down but now all I have to do is keep practicing my TED Talk script until I get the script stuck in my head and make my sign but otherwise I think my project is moving a long very nicely and I have not faced that many challenges recently. Some of the successes that I’ve had was making my iMovie because once you learn how to use it then you are good to go and it just gets easier and easier. The main challenge that I faced was probably making the first part of my TED Talk script but now I’m doing well and I’m ready for the final game.

WhenI did my interview my dad arranged my phone in angle where Machu Picchu was in the background. We were on top of a mountain called “Wanna Picchu.” We had to hike up about 450-650 stairs to get to the top but at the end it was worth it. The good and bad part about it is that the interview got cut in half so we had to make a new video for the last questions. The good part is we need to split our interview into pieces and I already have that done. The bad news is I might not want to split it up into that certain way. The interview was about 10-13 minutes long and it had a good amount of questions. I did the interview with somebody names Ellis Maxwell and he worked at Machu Picchu as a hiking guide for 9 years and he know’s the place super well. After we finished the interview we explored around the are and we went through this super small tunnel that was made out of a rock and a wall and it was very strange and dark. I thought of it as the bat cave because it was a cave made out of rocks audit was dripping with water like the bat cave. Eventually we got down and we looked over the interview and it was very good.

A week and a half ago my dad and I went on a hike in Peru and the trail was made over 600 years ago. I was so amazed that the Incas created the trail so many years ago. An Inca is an old Native American tribe that conquered a lot of Peru. I learned about how the Incas lived and farmed. They carved into mountains and built walls and then they planted crops on top. The Incas created little steps on the walls so they can get up. My dad and I played hide and seek in a place we saw while we were on the hike. Later we saw water flowing so we followed it up to the top. The Incas were so smart they were able to get flowing water! Shortly after we hiked for another hour and we got to the top and we were at a place called the Sun Gate and we a had a great view of Machu Piccu finally we hiked down and there it was a super old Inca civilization that was burried in jungle but then found again in 1911.
