I really enjoyed researching and going down the rabbit hole. I got most of my information on rabbit hole day and think it was pretty successful. Even though. I thought I could of worked on using different data bases and sites instead of you the same four or five sites.
Taking notes was one of my favorite parts in the ignite process. I organized many different ways. One of my favorite note taking strategy was making a web. I started off just writing prevention and safety and making a circle around it and making lines out of my subtopics and putting circles around those I branched out on details. I also used boxes and bullets after doing the web to make it easier when you are writing your narrative and you just have to look down and be able to write with out struggling to understand what you wrote down.
At first I got a bit stumped on how to put or say something. I struggled and finally figured out how I wanted to write it. This was my least favorite step it was lots of adding on and then editing then revising and then taking something out then doing the whole cycle over again.
I enjoyed writing the script. I thought that I struggled the most in having to cut down my two minute narrative into a thirty second script. It challenged me to cut down the parts that did not really make sense but after I cut down a few sentences everything really made sense but I was still at one minute . I had to take at a category off and to make it thirty seconds but it was really hard to pick which one to get rid of. Then I figured out that I was going to do the conclusion. I found that it was easier doing the conclusion the my first or second slide.
I liked rehearsing it made me feel ready. We rehearsed it many different ways. One way we rehearsed was just as a group. Just the five of us. We would wait until it was your slide then you would start doing your speech. Another way we rehearsed was with the whole class. Rehearsing with the whole class made me feel prepared. The final way we rehearsed for the real ignite was independently. Doing it by yourself was productive because you got to do your script many more time with doing it with your class or with your group.
I enjoyed saying my speech. I knew I was ready so I did not feel scared. I thought everyone did a really good job. I do not think I would have changed anything.
At the start I liked working with a group. When we went farther in the project some people in my group told other people to change there work just because they liked it a certain way. It made me think if we kept changing things up it would be harder to memorize are script.
