(3) What worked for you in your senior project?

What worked for me in this project is that I was able to find research articles with relative ease and did not have to resort to buying books.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project?

 I would try to expand my research field as well as have decided on solely fitness instead of starting with mixed martial arts and fitness. But for an absolute do over I would have stuck with my original choice of video games for a topic and have gone with competitive gaming.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.

Senior project has helped me understand exercise better especially since one of my future endeavors is to be physically fit. This is from my research to prove that if I were to find ways where my exercise will work with how my life will be situated.

Blog 15: Lesson 2 Reflection

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

I am proud that I did not choke up (very much) on my presentation because when I practiced I ended up going overtime from stumbling over my words and not knowing what to say when a slide came up

2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

NC

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.

I didn't make time with the explanation of answer portion, That is an auto-failure...

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

What worked was having a powerpoint to look back to for reference.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

The only thing that didn't go well was me being short 2 minutes. If I could I'd do a recap of what I said to make the whole presentation tie up and add timw.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be? 

 I've been considering something along the lines of "Discipline is necessary for an adolescent to maximize personal fitness."

Blog 11 Lesson 1 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why?

 What I'm most proud of from this first lesson is that I did not need note cards to remember any information on my presentation.I was afraid that I'd not remember any information without notes but I was mistaken.


2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.

 I would give myself an AP because I gave a solid presentation however I did not meet the time requirement by I believe 30 seconds.


3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson?  How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2?


 I think if anything I would try to make my hook better because I felt the hook went awkwardly and I feel like didn't get a lot of attention for my topic. I feel that just adjusting my hook and slowing down when I speak will help me for lesson 2.
