Senior Project Reflection

1. Positive Statement
 With my two hour I am proud of how my activities went, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. With senior project I am  really just proud I did it and stuck it out all year.

2. Questions to consider
a. I would give myself a P because I met talking time, had at least one activity and set up/broke down by the time that I needed to.

b. I would give myself a P on the overall senior because I worked passed any problems and did what was asked of me, if not more.

3. What worked was having my house teacher there to help me whenever I needed her. It gave me a sense of security and really made the process easier.

4. What didn't work was sometimes presenting to our two hour house sometimes presenting to our house. If we just stuck to one person we were constantly presenting to it would make it easy to get feedback and not have it conflict with another teachers feedback.

5. It has helped me in that now I am sure of what I want to do when I get older. Also, because of all the research/papers/presentations we had to do I am now more prepared for college than probably any high school student that hasn't gone to iPoly.

Answer 2

EQ: What is most important to consider when assisting a hearing impaired person?

Answer: Changing up your signing style.

Evidence:

1. Some people are born Deaf or become Heard of Hearing over time which determines how they sign.
2. There are two different types of signing ASL and Exact English.
3. In order to effectively communicate with whoever you are assisting it is important that you can match their signing style. You can't really sign ASL to a person who signs EE because then they will have a harder time understanding you.

Sources:

1. Service Learning
2. Third Interview
3. Articles on Exact English.

Presentation 2 Rough Draft

Lesson Plan

Answer 1

1. It is important to consider the prejudice that Deaf people face everyday.

2. In one of the articles I was reading they talked about how most people are surprised to find out that Deaf people can drive, or that they can do really anything that hearing people can do. Most of the time Deaf people are looked at as mentally disabled by hearing people because they assume that just because a person has a disability they are less intelligent then them.

3. I found evidence for my answer in I See A Voice, in a show that I was watching that shows the realistic side of being deaf Switched at Birth, and in an article I found called Deaf can do, can't do.

Presentation Reflection

1. In what way did the first interview affect your presentation?  Please explain, be specific and use an example.


My interview didn't really affect my presentation. For my presentation I drew from a book I was reading, so my interview really had nothing to do with it.


2.  What you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?


What stood out about my presentation performance was that, to me, I felt comfortable in front of the class. So I was more confident that I normally would be in that situation.


3.  What was the most challenging to do and why?


The most challenging thing was thinking ahead to my two hour and trying to figure out what I would talk about that I wouldn't need to talk about in there. It was challenging because I don't know what more information I am going to find out, so I had to be really careful and choose something that wouldn't end up hurting me.
