READ THIS!!! ITS ABOUT MY JAPANESE PRESENTATION!!!

For the past few weeks, the entire seventh grade has been working on a Japanese project. Each of us are to come up with a main topic our projects will be on. And, finally, we will present our work.

My group, which consists of EJ Ocampo, Raj Budda, and I, chose to research about Japanese entertainment. The three main types of entertainment were Noh theater, Kabuki drama, and the entertainment from geishas. Lastly, we performed a short, humorous Kabuki play that emphasized about the hardship of becoming a geisha.

During the beginning of our inquiry, we weren't very productive and focused. But, as the date for presentations neared, we became much more determined to finish the project. We first divided a section for each of us to research and write about, but I would have to revise the others writing in the end. This prevented us from arguing over which information was correct and which ones we would use during the presentation. Our overall participation, effort, and researched information were all very proficient. I am very satisfied with our work, as well as our presentation.

I believe the audiences'general impression of our presentation was humorous. They laughed many times and enjoyed our exhibit. Though I am content with what we did, there were still a few mistakes. For example, we weren't able to put all the information we knew on the presentation board as well as in our presentation due to the time pressure. I would have done a few things differently and fixed our mistakes.

This experience has been a great and will furthermore deepen my confidence in presenting or speaking in front of large crowds. I really enjoyed everyone elses' presentation as well. Many were creative and fun to watch and many required volunteers from the audience.
