A tad depressed.....................................................................

I felt my group today performed excellently!  We were able to make individual improvments, our powerpoint was fixed of minor bugs, and we had a niffty intro.

And no one saw it..........

Only one student came, Alex (thanks man!), then the last four were parents.  Our handouts were booklets!!!  We only gave out about 5 of 50!

I feel our message, and one of the most important ones of the groups, fell on deaf ears.  We were supposed to inform the public, and we failed.  But we did do a good job.  It just bugs me that I invited SSOOOO many teachers and others, and (almost) no one supported us............

Senior Project Presentation

I am so proud of our Student Outreach group and felt so comfortable practicing in front of them. I felt really bad when I had noticed that there wasn't much time left for Emily, Sarah and Brian but not having the time constraint at the public library definitely felt better. We did have a great audience and I actually was glad that they had asked questions and that we all had an answer for each question. I know that I actually spoke a lot but that's not really different than any other time, but I really felt like I needed to stress the importance about ESL in our schools and how Shelby lacks the programs and methods that we need in order to improve the English language. I'm hoping people learned so valuable information and that changes are made due to our informational presentations.
