Refection There were a lot of things I needed to improve for the next presentation. These are the things I do understand I need to do but difficult for me to do it during the presentation so I am going to think more and make sure I could do as much as possible in the next presentation. The first bad thing I found is that I wasn't moving around the class. When I was talking, I should have walked around the class so that I don't hide behind the desk. The second thing is hesitation. This just means that I need more practice even though I thought it was enough before the presentation. The third is that I had a small voice. This shows that I was nervous and also because of this, I think the people that were far away from me, was very bored. The fourth is that I was sometimes touching hair. This will distract me and also the audience so I shouldn't have done it. The fifth is that I always had my sleeve down which shows that I am so nervous. The sixth is that I sometimes looked at...

 In this class, we continued doing the presentation. The first presentation was about a book called "Matilda". The second presentation was about "Wonder". The third presentation was about "Lion a long way home", and the last presentation we did today was about "The history of love".  As I was looking at other people's presentations, I realized there were a lot of people who were looking at the screen a lot. Also, there were people who hesitated a lot and the audience looked a bit bored because it takes time to explain one thing and take a long time in one slide. However, overall these are all the things I need to improve as well and there should be more improvement I need to make. So from now on, my goal is to find all the mistakes I made during my presentation and not do the same thing again. There are still people who need to present, so while those people are preparing for their presentation, I will work on my one long reflection blog and ...

 In this class, I was watching the other people's presentations and at the same time, I also did my presentation.  As I was presenting, I sometimes forgot what I needed to say even though I practiced many times at home and I think that was because I was really nervous. At home, I practiced more than 10 times, and also as I walk to school, I always say it in my mind but when it comes to the presentation day, I always get nervous and hesitate a lot. So I thought I need to practice more and more time like about 20 to 30 times so that I will be more confident about what I am going to say. From now on, I am just going to watch other people's presentation and I thought I want to learn more from other people especially who does a good presentation. I will also have to work on the website about my book.

 This was the second day of practicing our presentation. I wasn't able to finish my presentation last class so I started this lesson. I was able to finish it but still had a part that I hesitated. So I thought I needed more practice until the actual presentation. As I was looking at other people's presentations, I thought one of the people in my group did a good presentation. She used the presentation slides well because as she speaks, she clicks for the next slide while she is talking which means she kept talking while turning the slide and I thought that was really easy to understand the presentation. When I saw that, I thought I want to be like that, and to do that, I need to do more practice.  The next lesson is the actual presentation day and no one knows who goes first so, including me, everyone has to be ready to present on Tuesday.

 In this lesson, Mr. Paterson was explaining about the LE class to the new student so the other people were able to do other work like improving the essay and doing presentation practice.  There were people who hadn't turned in the essay yet so the due date has extended till Friday, but I have already turned it in so I used the time to practice my presentation and also look at the presentation slides and see if there anywhere I could improve before presenting. Next lesson, we are starting our presentations and no one knows who will go first so we all have to have already and be able to present at any time, otherwise, we will have to present without preparation.

COVID-19 This semester, everything was different compared to last year. At first, our class was online, then coming back to school but only half a class was at school. Then everyone coming to school but having the tables far away from each other and no group works. Then able to do group works and have the tables together but have to have our masks on.  When we are having class online, I first felt it was good because we often use ICT in school to do our work and nothing was going to be new. However, as I was doing the work, it was really hard to concentrate because I wasn't able to see other people doing the same thing. Somehow I was able to finish the two documents but not as good as I thought it will be because there were many parts that I needed to improve. Looking back, I could have asked someone else to check my work so that I could have improved before it was checked. After the online classes have finished, we were able to go to school but half a class every day. I didn't...

In this lesson, we learned about flipgrid. I think it is useful for us to see how we are speaking and how I need to improve and entertain the audience more. When I first heard about the flipgrid, I thought I will hesitate a bit to upload myself but I want to be able to do it so that I could do the presentation much better in semester 2. I also want to be able to improve the essay and the presentation slides because there are lots of parts I need to improve. For the next lesson, I will be working on the essay a bit before the summer holiday so that in the summer holiday, there are more time to practice my presentation.
