 I guess we underestimated luck again, since we didn't present today. Again. I knew that there were some parts about my presentation that could still be fixed to make it better, but as more days pass, Mr. Paterson's grading will be stricter than ever. Anyways, two groups presented today and I had a lot of things to learn from it, as always.  When the first group presented, I noticed that everyone was confident, making eye contact with each audience for 3-4 seconds and talking with a loud voice, while also emphasizing the important parts. However, they had one major problem which was making a mistake in what content to talk about in the "limitation" part. They had talked about the cons of the outside classroom (their idea) when instead, they should be talking about other points. As the heart of the group, I had been preparing for the "limitation" part. Since I was unsure if I was preparing for the right content to talk about in the "limitation" p...

 Monday was another presentation day, where 2 of the groups presented just like last time. Our group predicted that we would go today, or at least tomorrow, since we were the last group to present last semester. So when we knew that we weren't going today, we were surprised but at the same time, we were also scared. This is because as the presentation days pass, Mr. Paterson's grading becomes more strict.  The first group to present was group number 8, and they talk about their idea named "DIGITEXT". First, I was woken up with Arisa's voice. One thing that I always looked up about her, is that her voice can be so powerful, it can awaken and make the audience listen at once. Another thing that I was intrigued with, was about the body posture of the group members, while presenting. They were facing the audience making eye contact, while also walking around the room. However, not everything can be perfect, and so according to Mr. Paterson, there was one particular ...

 Today, the presentations started. The first presentation was done by group number 1. First, their group decided to explain the problem of the media center, through a video. The video was created by themselves, and I thought that it was easy to understand. For example, they not only acted it out, but there were captions throughout the scenes. Therefore, including myself, I believe that it was easy to understand for a lot of people. They also explained the details of the problem using their voice while the video was playing, which allowed us to understand the problems even more.  The second team that presented had been team number 5. Their idea about making a free time during recess was presented with using different types of slide effects. I remember that one of Haruto's slides included half the photo of food and the one after included the other half of the photo. Using this effect, I was able to understand that the topic still remained the same even when the slides changed....
