At the start of the project, I was excited and happy that we were doing it because I thought it would be fun. I like to work in groups, but it was kind of hard to work with some people, because it was hard to execute the presentation without one person messing up. Then we needed to start again and at some point I got tired of needing to restart.
Honestly the research wasn’t that hard for me. It was just like being taught what you want to learn. You look it up, you usually have just what you need. If it is not there then you open a link to an article, but that wasn’t something I usually needed to do though. It was easier for me to do research on articles on websites rather than books because there weren’t many books on the topic of tsunamis, but there were many articles. When I was working on my script it was hard because I needed to find the perfect words to explain exactly what I wanted to explain. It also was really hard because I needed to make it within 30 seconds, you would think that would be hard enough right? I guess not, because then we needed to memorize every single word on our scripts and then need to make the perfect transition with my group mates so we weren’t off track. Finding pictures wasn’t hard, it was easy to know what was true or false or real or photo shopped because I saw in a picture a tsunami going over a skyscraper that was about 102 stories tall so I knew it was photo shopped. It was really hard to memorize my script because it was kind of long and since we were in groups we needed to memorize our scripts perfectly so the transition would be clean. During the presentation I was sooooooo nervous that my group members and myself were going to mess up, after it was my turn I was like “Whew!” I was so scared. The thing that I was the most proud of in the reflection is the fact that we managed to do this in a group and not mess up and if we did we would not care and knew that we rocked it.
