Taylor Mali poem reflection

Taylor Mali recently visited our school and spoke about the importance of speaking confidently. It was amazing that he had come to our school and it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Honestly, I learned more from his mini lesson about speaking than I have in my life. Mr. Mali spread the message of speaking assuredly. He told us not to speak softly, to articulate, and to not lean on anything. I believe this is great advice that public speakers should follow. It is something that is essential because otherwise you will look unprofessional. For this video I used the following images for multiple reasons. First I used them to create an image in one's mind when watching this video. Also I used some of these images to exaggerate the message I was trying to send throughout the poem; the importance of laughing at yourself. 

Geography Packets

So far, in geography I have been doing very well in my packets. The packets are basically little worksheets that have to do with the specific place we are studying. For example,  we are learning about Asia and so we would do the packets for Asia. For Asia, there is three packets, which add up to about 56 countries. In no way I have been falling behind. I have always been on top of it, and been moving quickly. Last semester, I did not work this fast, but this semester I have been and I am so proud of my accomplishments. Not only am I technically ahead in the class, but it can give me more time to work on other things such as case studies, or getting ready to teach a class. It has taking away the stress of trying to do my work quickly, and without quality. Now it is not only better, but I have learned more. I feel like now I will always remember the capitals.
