Week 12

Next week is the presentation for the 20% project. Presentations will be either Thursday or Friday and I am not very nervous. I already have an idea of what I am gong to say now all I need to do is actually get started on the power point. Mr.Lee just told me that I will be presenting on Friday and I think I would have preferred to present on Thursday just to get it over with. I am sort of nervous to present by myself but the good thing is that the presentations can not be over five minutes.I will try to make it at least three minutes because I do not want to just stand up there by myself for a long time. I think that my presentation won't be awful but it won't be absolutely amazing. It's weird to think that I have spent a whole year-it doesn't feel like it-working on a project and now it's coming to an end.

Week 10

I have written the beginning of my story and I'm pretty excited about it. Things are coming along pretty well and I can not wait for the finished project. I sort of changed what I was going to originally write for my 20% project. I sort of began to write a short story since I won't have the time to write an entire novel. I am typing the short story on my laptop and when I finish I will put it together in a "packet" complete with its own book cover. Starting today, I have three weeks left for the presentation. I will either present on Thursday or Friday and I am actually, as of today, not very scared or nervous to present. I don't have a fear of public speaking so I think that things will go pretty good. The presentation must be at least five minutes and we have to talk about our project, what we did, how it finally turned out, etc. I sort of began to think about what I should say and I think that I will start off with some sort of story.

Week 7

So recently I sort of began writing my children's book. I wrote a rough draft of how I want the story to be set up. I think that I will finish writing the story completely in a couple of weeks. The more I think about how I'm going to write my story, the more excited I get about how my story will end up looking when it's finally completed. I didn't realize how time consuming this project would actually be. I knew that it was going to be pretty difficult but I hadn't realized how so. Things are coming along splendidly and I just can't wait until things are finally finished.
