Ted Talk

The past couple of weeks my la class has been working on a new project. That project was a Ted talk! I picked the topic I wanted to talk about and I chose my top three vacation spots. I thought really hard about what vacations I wanted to talk about. I ended up choosing Dubai, The Cayman Islands and St. John’s.

 

I did a little research of the places I would be talking about to find out their location and a little bit of history about each place. I also looked for maps of each place and cited my source. I started off by creating a slideshow and putting in my pictures. Then I needed pictures of me in the places so I airdropped them to my school iPad. Once my pictures were in the slideshow I made the slideshow look pretty. After my slideshow was laid out I started my script. Once I was done with my script I practiced a lot then I was finally ready to present.

 

I waited patiently for my turn to present my slideshow. Once it was my turn I screen shared my slideshow on the screen and began presenting my slideshow. I was a little bit nervous but I thought it was going to be a lot worse than it was.

 

Overall, this was a super fun project and a fun experience for me. Next time I present I’m going to work on not laughing next time. I hope you enjoyed my blog post.

 

The Biggest Loser

The last month or so my class has been reading The Westing Game. In the book one of the characters named Turtle Wexler invested in a stock so in my class we invested in a stock. On the first day we set up our spreadsheet so when we checked our stocks we had somewhere to mark our findings. Then we invested in our stocks with fake money. I invested in Lululemon, Ulta, Target and Starbucks. At first my stocks were doing well but then all of my stocks started dropping! In the end I had lost $3086! I ended up being the biggest loser in my class and won a prize. This was my favorite project we did in 6th grade and I learned to not just invest in brands I liked.
