On the first day of Christmas Mr. Thomas gave to me..... A chance to grade other people's Imovies!

In class, we were given the task to grade everyone's presentations and here are the people I graded and how;

Sheta+Akira+Lily

Alex+PJ

Vicky+Camila

I graded them as following; https://docs.google.com/a/iskl.edu.my/Doc?docid=0AU5CEPhugPZWZGQ0YnMyc3ZfNjVmN3o5cDVneA&hl=en follow this link to find out!

This project can only be described as laborious. Though annoying, there were some upsides to this project besides working with Allison. I liked the editing and computerized aspects of this project as they really were both relatively fun and simple, and of course I love technology and it's associated works. The scriptwriting, sadly, was not fun, and took many rewrites to become at least passable. I had some overall enjoyment of this project, however it was mingled in with plenty of boredom.

The Nanaimo presentation

1) What you believe you did well on the project?

I like to think that first of all, my information was sound. Most information on Nanaimo was found on on websites and StastCan due to extremely limited resources the school provided. The stats and statements are all double and even triple checked before I actually put them into the final draft. The city of Nanaimo website was surprisingly lax in information, thus prompting me to resort to backwater websites about said subject, though painstaking, these sites proved reliable.

2) What you would improve for future presentations/projects?

I had some issue in this case with the common problem of memorization, though I did indeed practice meticulously, it seemed to slip whence I got up front of the class. Though perhaps the blame partially lies on me for not practicing enough, or in front of people, but at the same time, I think this has happened to everyone. Another thing to add, my images didn't transfer well to the big screen, or rather, they didn't adapt to the file necessary to be played on said screen.

3) What did you learn from your preparation (for your presentation) in addition to the presentations of others?

I certainly learned through some of the presentations to move your hands to represent different things and move around like you know what you're doing, even if your movements are completely improvised. Any try to emphasize points and things of importance, like a large populace and major exports.

4) What is your analysis of your performance?

If I had to rate it, maybe a 7 out of 10, mostly for my written presentation as opposed to my iffy oral presentation. I liked the info and how the pictures were there seamlessly as opposed to over the text, the technical aspect of my presentation was a little screwed up though. I should have listened to Mr. Thomas and saved the presentation as a video file for an easier upload to Google Docs.
