Blog 24: Last Presentation Reflection

(1) Positive Statement

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

- I'm proud that I got to do everything that I never got to do on any other presentation. This included an intro and a hype video as well as a halftime show with closing music and games that everyone got to play. Plus, we got to play kahoot and a real fishing game which were really fun and everyone loved it.

(2) Questions to Consider

a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation?  Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

- AE leaning more towards an E because I met every requirement and did extra to keep everyone entertained.

b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project? Use the component contract to defend that assessment.

- AE leaning more towards an E, I did everything required and more to learn the maximum amount of information possible.

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


- The idea that I kept it informally formal by creating jokes that were educational and used the great ideas of videos to show everything in real life scenario's so it all worked amazing in informing people while entertaining them. 

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

- I wish it was more funny and entertaining.
(5) Finding Value

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

- Fishing has been a huge part of my life and will continue on with me for the rest of my life as well as my children and other generations after me.

Blog 18: Answer 2

1.  What is your EQ?

- How can a sports fisherman enjoy his craft while being mindful to the enviornment?

2.  What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)

- My first answer to my EQ is to have a successful catch in order to have fun while enjoying my craft.

3.  What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)

- My second answer to my EQ is to catch and release the fish as safe as possible in order to be mindful to the environment which is probably my best answer.

4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.

- Anyone who has a good day and has a successful catch is going to have the time of their life. And anyone who releases fish safely with precaution will help keep the fish alive and live longer than expected.

5.  What printed source best supports your answer?

- Deeter, Kirk. "Three Ways to Help Catch-and-Release Trout Survive." Field & Stream. Bass Pro Shops, 8 July 2013. Web. 25 Oct. 2015.

6.  What other source supports your answer?

- N.A. "Improve and Protect Habitat." Improving Fishing:. N.P., n.d. Web. 25 Oct. 2015.

7.  Tie this together with a  concluding thought.

- Fishing is an amazing sport whether you can 100 fish or no fish. It's a great, enjoyable, and exciting sport that everyone should try at least a couple of times to get the feel of and to enjoy our friendly species underwater.

Blog 15: Lesson 2 Reflection

This picture was taken right after my Lesson 2! :D


1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

- I'm really proud of everything from entertaining people to informing and teaching people about Sport Fishing. As my worksheet and questionnaire showed, everyone learned something except for Zuhayr due to him answering his only question wrong, but I did understand his point. I also gave away stuff for students to take home and everyone came up to me after my presentation mentioning how great it was and how good my Hook and Activity were.

2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE  <--     P          AP       CR       NC

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
- I reached every time minimum and never exceeded the time limit. I also had lots of information and evidence from sources and my mentor. I met every requirement and more for my lesson 2 and it was the best of both worlds; entertaining and informational. 

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

- My Hook was better than the hook I used in Lesson 1. The Activity worked really good as well and I had everybody's attention and enthusiasm up.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

- The only thing that was sort of a problem was that my EQ was on the bottom of the page, and Mr.Rivas said he preferred it on top.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

-  To be preservative to the fish and treat them with care so you don't harm them.

Blog 11: Lesson 1 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson, and why?

- I was very proud that I knew all of my information and spoke about everything I wanted to very clearly and smooth. I also thought that I matched my outfit perfectly for the scenario for sport fishing and I felt like every sounded pretty interesting and fun as people seemed to enjoy it.

2. What assessment would you give yourself on your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.

- I'd give myself an AE, mainly because I completed everything that was asked for and more. I just didn't go over book details such as others. I also went over hands on details that you can only get from certain scenarios, plus I give lots of information and plenty of answers for my EQ that I will soon narrow down.

3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson?  How can you use that knowledge to give a better Lesson 2?

- I'd bring a fishing pole to show and I'd probably skip talking about one of the solutions and I'd show my props (lures) to others so they can see and enjoy.
