Today I gave my final presentation. It's a HUGE relief to have that out of the way, and I think it went really well. I wasn't that nervous going into it. My only consern was that it would be really boring for my audience. Really, how many people do you know that actually enjoy hearing about wetlands? But, I got some really good feedback.
My presentation set up was basically as follows:
-Wetland Introduction
-How I picked my topic
-My learning experience at VIMS
-Teaching the 7th grade for my application
-Quit wetland "game" with Swedish Fish prizes
-Short talk about Port Isobel
-Questions
Then, I was finished. It went pretty smoothly through out. I never felt stuck and didn't forget to say anything major. I really loved doing what I did, so I felt I could have gone on forever. So, that definitely wasn't a problem.
Specifically, one thing that I thought went really well was the wetland game. I was able to take a break from constant talking and had some audience interaction. Also, at the end, the questions I was asked were all really good. I thought it was a great sign and it showed that people were actually paying attention. When I was finished, my teacher panel and several students gave me a lot of complements on my presentation.
Now, I just need to finish up my written document, get everything together for the showing of all of the exhibits next week, then, I'll be off to Port Isobel!

This blog is a chronicle of my Senior Exhibit Project for Fredericksburg Academy 2009. My topic is Wetlands in the Chesapeake Bay. Through the SE process, I am learning about my topic through an internship at VIMS. Then, I am applying my knowledge by teaching the 7th grade science class and accompanying them on they trip to Port Isabel this May.

I am so glad to hear that the final went so well. It sounds like you built on a great rehearsal and made an even greater final presentation.
