Extreme Weather Reflection

Before we chose our groups, I wanted to study earthquakes but when we chose the groups there were too many people that wanted to do that topic so I backed down and I did hurricanes. Then when I backed down I actually was happy because a bunch of my friends were in my group and I actually worked well with them. At first I stayed for a while but then I realized there are sometimes hurricanes in Scarsdale so I knew more about hurricanes than earthquakes. My subtopic was Safety and Prevention but there is no way to prevent hurricanes and it was hard finding a lot of stuff on just safety. A lot of members in my group helped me find information and I looked at some websites that had some good information. Before I made my script I took notes then when I thought I had enough I made a narrative using my notes. When I was done making my narrative I used chunks of it to make my script. When my group was done making our scripts we started to time our scripts and memorize them. We got two slides to speak our scripts. There were 15 seconds per slide and each slide got one picture. We had to make the pictures match the words you would be speaking and it was hard because there weren’t really that many pictures to choose from but eventually I found two pictures that match the words that I was saying. The thing that I am the most proud of is how much time I spent on the ignite.

Personal Narrative- Reflection

One thing I am most proud of in my personal narrative is my heart. I put most of the details in it. One example is there is a lot of dialogue and action showing me and my dad and I going down the waterslide. I think the reader will think they are going down the waterslide with me. 

 

One thing that was difficult for me was my ending because the end of my heart is like the end of my story so I had to do some action when I was in the pool. For example I said I canenballed into the pool.
