Inquiry Conference: Sharing the Learning

Today I presented to my class “how climate change is impacting the current generation.” I feel like my point went across but I think I could have presented my topic to a way better extent. I didn’t practice what I was going to say because I really didn’t want it to sound forced, but when I went up there I realized I should have definitely practiced what I was going to say to avoid the words I used way to much such as”um” and “so yeah.” At the end of my presentation I wanted to say if the over all cause was good or bad and I totally forgot to, as soon as I saw Josh raise his arm I panicked and just felt like I needed to be done. 

My peers did a really good job with their presentations, you could tell they spent lots of time on it and were very invested in their topics and I enjoyed watching them. I liked how people felt comfortable getting so personal it was quite amazing. Everyone who had a PowerPoint had one that was very well put together and very aesthetically pleasing, it made me second guess not having one of my own but I know if I had something on the board I would just stare there to avoid eye contact with my peers and I really wanted to avoid that.

My topic was very interesting to me and I really enjoyed learning about it and i was excited to share with my classmates about it and was curious to see if any of that impacted them or if they already knew some of the points from my presentation. I was surprised no one knew who Greta Thunberg was but I feel like if I would have said her famous speech about the house being on fire they would have instantly known who so I wish I would have went into further explanation of her and what she is doing along with other celebrities.

I learned a lot from my peers presentation, I learned a lot about thing I would have never educated myself on and I really enjoyed. Taylor got really personal and she wasn’t scared to share her story and I really praise her for that and she did a phenomenal job. A lot of people’s topics weren’t as personal but it still is something that affects their identity and as a class we did really good at presenting our issues today i was really proud of all of us and I cannot wait to see how everyone else does tomorrow
