Reflection #9

Reflection #9
Week of April 24th, 2017

We are getting closer to the end of our unit, and towards the end of our #PVhasPassion2017 project. I still need to due a couple more things to finish off the project, and specifically a couple more things a need to complete by the end of today. Today, I will need to complete a Pitch Evaluation for another student, and learn a little bit about their project and how to improve on my own project. Additionally today, I will need to finish my annotated works cited page. This will show each of the sources I used in my project, and a quick paragraph about how I used it and how it helped me during my #PVhasPassion project.

Now, this does not mark the complete end of our project. I still need to complete a final product. Also, I will need to think of a proper way of how to present my final presentation in a TED style talk. This will end up being our final for the class, and a big portion of our grade. Because of this, the presentation will be very important and will need to be very accurately given.

Reflection #8
Week of April 17th

This week, not much was done on my #PVhasPassion project as we were required to complete a graduation speech and present it in class. I haven't completed my #PVhasPassion project, so I still have a few things left to do. First of all, my research is completed and I know what I will be putting into my final product.

After this product is completed and designed and at least one is printed out, I will be planning on how to present my learning experience in a TED-style talk to the class. I will most likely either write out note cards, or a small written script that I will stick closely to when talking to the class.

Reflection #7

Reflection #7
Week of April 3rd.

Once again, we are writing a reflection for our #PVhasPassion project. This week we have not had a lot of accomplishments. It has been a pretty relaxed week. All of our hunting units have been surveyed, and we have decided on what units to put into our final product.

I have begun thinking about designs for the product and how to make it. For next week, we need to think about our final presentation. TED style talks will come sooner than I expect, so I really need to start planning it out and maybe even looking at some TED talks to get an idea of how to present my project.

Week of March 27th

We just got back from a nice long relaxing spring break, or at least that is how it is suppose to be. I had to spend a small portion of my time working on English projects. Although it was over a school break, I was able to get a good amount of work done. I did some more research about hunting in Arizona. Specifically, which units I should put in my final product. I also learned quite a few things from my interview. He was able to finally convince me on which units I should add into my final product.

Overall, I am ready to start finalizing my project. I can create the final product, or at least try to complete it. More importantly, I will start writing my TED style talk for the presentation at the end of the school year.

Week of March 13

Spring break is coming up! This means more time to work on an English project. I get the chance to get to the further away hunting units in Southern Arizona. I will also take the time to write some interview questions to ask the person I will be interviewing in a couple of days.

Overall, I am happy with the units that I have picked so far. I plan to go to maybe one or two more units before I am done. I will have to pick a few units to showcase in my product. I will base the units I pick based on how I rate each unit and how successful they should be during a hunting season.

Week of March 6th

This week has not been as productive as the past few. I am continuing to get pictures of some southern Arizona hunting units. I plan to design the layout of my brochure, as well as start learning more about brochures and how i should begin mine. I also need to start thinking of who I will exactly present my product to.

I need to really start working on my product this week. Maybe I will even start to think about how to present my TED style talk to the class. Is this going to be our final grade in the class? Or will it be graded based on our overall progress throughout the semester?

Reflection #3
Week of February 27th

This week, I have answered most of the questions I have had about my project. In addition to answering my own questions, I have planned an interview with an experienced hunter in Southern Arizona. I have also been continuing going to different hunting units and surveying them on my own time. Each place, I have an opinion about based on animal population and recent natural disasters(Fires).

I also survey each to how I think each unit holds animals, how many of each animal are in the area and the percentage of success while hunting in the unit. The Arizona Game and Fish Department has released a significant amount of statistics on their website which has encouraged me to visit a place and look around and see what I think about it. There statistics have also helped me in my project with providing numerical values to interested people.
