1) What you believe you did well on the project?
I believe my project responded well to the title " The place I call home" and some extra, interesting facts.I chose the city Landsberg, Germany.This presentation was hard, for some sites were in German and held little facts. Germany holds many little cities, Landsberg being one of the smallest. Most of the pictures that I had in my presentation were a little blurry but still fine.

2) What you would improve for future presentations/projects?
I would improve by having more facts in a project or presentation next time. I would also improve my speech,(to try to memorize my facts, so I can look at the audience while talking). Other than that, I felt confident in the end, as I was scared to make the presentation in the beginning

3) What did you learn from your preparation (for your presentation) in addition to the presentations of others?
From what I learnt from other presentations I feel that I can now carefully understand other countries/city's religions or their culture. Some things I learnt was that, Colombo was used as a trading belt by the Portuguese in 1540 and that the population of Malaysia is so high! I also learnt facts about Germany too, for example I learnt about Der Jung Fern Sprung Turm, ( The Virgin Jump Tower). Where girls jumped off the top of the tower to escape from Swedish solders.

4) What is your analysis of your performance?
I believe that I did good and should receive a O.K grade for my performance, because I could have memorized my facts and possibly added more facts for the presentation.

Thank you for reading my blog post....!

My New Year Resolutions 2011!

Welcome to the new year 2011! Feeling any different? Resolutions can be hard to compile , but even more difficult to fulfill. Some resolutions might be easier to accomplish, for example: lose weight, go to the gym, Etc.. Some might be harder,: See snow during Christmas, buy a new car, Etc. Mresolutions are somewhat simple: Learn some physics and be more organized... 

My first resolution, : Learn some physics. I choose this resolution because, ever since 5th grade I have been wanting to learn about air pressure and how it works, which is part of physics. Physics, in my opinion explains the work of atoms, motion, air pressure, surrounding momentum, pressure, gravity and many, many other aspects. My second resolution: Become more organized. I choose this resolution for, I often lose my stuff..With a world of disorganised people, the world would be lost...

To add on to 2011 the new year, I will speak of the favorite part of my holiday... Snow. In all my travels to Europe I have only experienced a little bit of snow, 2 times to be exact. This time we went to Düsseldorf, and what a surprise to see snow in a place that rarely snows. I was still missing school but this was a dream come true.. After a while the snow started to melt and the roads turned into ice. We tried to skate on the roads..! This was not the end of snow. The snow emerged again a few days later, but even higher Even the snowman we built days before was covered in snow until his hips! 

From that came Hence my first white Christmas, and a great New Year celebration.What I love more than snow, is the feeling of the start of a new year. You get to start off fresh. Who knows what you will achieve? What special goals have you completed last year? What have you left behind you? It gives us a chance to contemplate and to perhaps learn from our past achievements and failures.
