Extreme Weather Reflection

I was kind of nervous because Mrs. Rago said that some other kids that she has taught before were not so excited about doing the presentations on Wildfires, Hurricanes, Tornados, Tsunamis, and Earthquakes. I was ecstatic about doing wildfires so that was ultimately my choice. The original people in my group were Alex, Daniel, Charlotte, Bella, and me but then Alex left to do Tornados then Leah joined us. I was excited to work with everyone in my group but in the beginning it was a little rough because Leah and I got into an argument about who should do effects and I eventually let her do effects. 

 

Finding information was easy for me because there are a bunch of ways a wildfire can be caused. They can be caused by cigarettes, campfires, powerlines, volcanic activity, lightning, etc. Those were ways that they can be caused by humans and there was more information on how wildfires can be caused by nature too. I found most of my information on Google or Ebooks. I found a lot of information that was useless for me but it was useful to Daniel. For example, I might find an article on a historical wildfire and it would not help me because I studied the Causes of Wildfires but could help someone else.

 

When I was memorizing I thought it would be impossible because I had never memorized anything besides lyrics to songs! Then I realized that I memorized the lyrics to songs by looking at the lyrics on a phone and singing the lyrics off there and that if I just kept on saying my script then I would just memorize it. It kind of worked like that but when I was memorizing, I had no expression so when I rehearsed with my group I had to practice with expression by reading my script over and over again I memorized it. 

 

What I am most proud about the presentation is how I got to do three slides and two of the slides were my slides on causes and one of my slides was the conclusion.
