Ignite Talk Reflection

An Ignite talk is where we presented a slideshow and had a speech where we talked about our research question from our topic that the teachers chose. The Ignite had to be exactly 1:45 seconds, 15 seconds per slide. We also had to talk about some reflection on the process whether it was easy or hard or what skills we used. The slideshow had to be one picture per slide. Extreme weather is a natural disaster on the earth. Everyone had a different slideshow, but was connected so there was no pausing between each person.

A challenge for me was memorizing the script because I thought I had it memorized perfectly but when I go to practice it on the chrome book there are a lot of stops because I forgot a part. Another challenge for me was coming up with a research question and finding information to it because all my original research questions did not have a lot to it. A success of mine was putting the ignite together and the steps in it once I found a good research question like paraphrasing which is not copying authors exact words.

I liked this experience but it was a little challenging for me at first to get started. I thought this was fun putting everything together and to memorize the script because you kept trying to memorize it with each script block at a time and it was very exiting to perform it.

 

My Expert Book: Hanukkah

Starting my expert book I had to first think of a topic. Next I had to brain dump a piece of paper. Afterwards, I had to organize my brain dump into my chapters. Then I had to write the expert book on paper. Lastly, I had to make a slideshow and add pictures and links to it. The most difficult part for me was to come up with the idea and chapters. My favorite part was linking and adding pictures. I learned to link, start a new slideshow and write an expert book. I feel really proud because it was really hard to write it.

This is my expert book.
