Blog 23: Senior Project Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

• I am most proud of how I explained my answers and a little bit of my foundation. When I explained my information, I made sure to refer to my sources. I know I mentioned some my experiences in my mentorship and how my I-Poly experiences helped me with my whole senior project.

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation (self-assessment)?

• I think I deserve a P because I met all the things for P consideration. I talked and did my lesson for at least an hour. I referred to my mentorship and printed sources.

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

• I think for this overall project, I deserve a P. For the senior project components and assignments, I made sure I completed them and made sure I knew all, or most, of my information.

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?

• What worked for my in my senior project was connecting and attempting to engage with the audience. Since social-emotional skills is an ability we need to interact better with others, I was able to share about how I-poly helps us practice these skills because we do many group projects.

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?

• If I had a time machine, I would make sure I would tell myself to pause for a bit and make sure I present all the information I need to help my audience understand more about my answers or about my project because I know I forgot to mention multiple things. Also, I would make sure I slow down a bit because I think I barely made it past the one hour mark.

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?   Be specific and use examples.

•  Senior project has been helpful to me in my future endeavors because I was working with children. In the future, I hope to be a pediatrician. I want to be in the medical field and still work with children. Although I only worked with children the ages 2.5 -5 years old, I will know how to deal with them if they get irritated by something or if they do not know how to describe how their feeling. I also know what to do if my future children throw a tantrum.
