The topic I picked was a TED talk on Paul Revere’s engraving (The Bloody Massacre Perpetrated in King-Street). The reason I chose my topic was because at first I was studying the Boston Massacre and I couldn’t think of what my main topic was. Later on when I was studying I found a picture of Paul Revere’s engraving and that greatly sparked my interest. I am doing a TED talk because I am good at public speaking. I did not want to do an ignite because the slide auto advance.
When I was done with my narrative, I needed help with putting chunks of it into a script template. It was hard for me to even out and have enough information on each slide. I got help and I finished my script and moved on to memorizing it. My favorite part of the project was finding images and putting them in my slideshow. I also liked memorizing my script. I learned from this project that when you are finding information you can’t copy and paste you have to put it in your own words. Another reason I am presenting through a TED talk is because I have a lot of information and I needed more slides. I am very excited to present in front of the parents. Practicing has helped me memorize my whole entire script.
