I don't need to change much about my paper. I did agree with my feedback. I want to make it sound more professional.

# data[].attributes.body
On Friday I honestly just want to continue to write the whole hour because I still have a lot to do. I just need to make it sound more professional.

# data[].attributes.body
strength- I put together the information well
weakness- it could sound more professional when I revise

# data[].attributes.body
To feel good about this paper, I would need at least a week to work.

# data[].attributes.body
I would give my part 3 section of my essay a 3 out of 5 for professionalism. It is a bit laid back.

# data[].attributes.body
You did a good job presenting. Your voice was a good volume.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked how you gave us specific details about your what you wanted to learn but you could maybe speak a little better but overall it was good.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt fine talking in front of a small group. I did run out of things to say near the end.

# data[].attributes.body
uuuuuh maybe a little louder and a little more info but else it was good

# data[].attributes.body
I don't really like to talk about my topic in front of others. I have trouble giving the information in an organized way with a time frame.

# data[].attributes.body
I have completed all of my research.
I have 3 Diigo shares, reflections on Padlet, 7 sources read, 2 interviews, 2 videos including a documentary, and all sources cited. I haven't finished my novel, but I should be done with it within the next week

# data[].attributes.body
I have not found any clear information on how the event influenced the future. I am replacing that question with "What obstacles stood in the way of refugees attempting to board the Wilhelm Gustloff?"

# data[].attributes.body
I have done:
3 Diigo shares
Padlet reflections
All sources cited
Read 3 Sources (I am still finishing my book)
Ask 1
Interview (2)
I still need to finish:
Watch a documentary

The curator of the online Wilhelm Gustloff museum answered my questions about the sinking.

# data[].attributes.body
The author of a book about the Gustloff answered my questions about the refugees and their experience with the ship.

# data[].attributes.body
I E-mailed two experts, and I felt comfortable talking to them, though it took awhile for me to type up my responses. Their answers were very helpful.

The tragedy was not announced on either side. Survivors who started speaking about it were told to stop, that it had never happened. This is the greatest loss of life on any one ship sinking.

Three torpedoes were fired from a nearby Soviet submarine. There was chaos on the ship. Women and children were priority to get on the rafts. Many boats were frozen to the ship, and some had ropes that snapped and sent the passengers to their deaths. The officers got into the lifeboats early on, contrary to custom. Many did not have lifejackets, and the children that did had much heavier heads than bodies and were turned upside down in the water. many in the freezing sea tried to get onto rafts, but were pushed off. Eventually, nearby German ships came to save the survivors.

I sent out a request to interview author Cathryn J. Prince and curator of the online Wilhelm Gustloff Museum, Edward Petruskevich. I hope to hear back from them within the next several days.

I am a bit over halfway through "Salt to the Sea". Registration has begun at the port, and it is absolute mayhem. The registration lines are hours long, and people sleep wherever they can, begging for help from strangers, selling information or trading objects and food. Rich Germans, wounded soldiers, and refugee women with children are priority. Most everyone else is sent away. There is suffering everywhere, and amidst it, so, so many children. No stranger can be trusted, everyone fends for only themselves, and people are willing to do anything to be able to board a ship and get to safety.

It's uncomfortable sharing with someone I don't know well, and confidence level isn't that high. I feel smart when talking about my topic, especially since hardly anyone knows about it. However, I would like to sound more professional. To prepare for the TED talk, I need to rehearse the talk and get more comfortable and confident with the information and sharing with others.

Things Other People Would Be Surprised About

# data[].attributes.body
Most people would be surprised that this story even exists, and that 6 times the people died on the Gustloff than on the Titanic

# data[].attributes.body
This is a very little-known event, and I think that others just need to know it exists. They should know that lives were lost.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned about the experiences of survivors. I watched a video of survivors telling their stories and I read an article about one man's story. I have also found some reasons why the tragedy is so little-known. Next, I will need to focus on how it influenced the war and the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I am reading the novel "Salt to the Sea" by Ruta Sepetys. It tells the stories of four fictional characters and their journey to and on the "Wilhelm Gustloff". The hardships they go through are unimaginable. The book makes me want to know the stories of how people got to the ship, not just what happened aboard it. Everyone had their own reasons, and there were many horrors that came before the sinking, all things that led over 10,000 people on board.

# data[].attributes.body
There aren't many survivors still alive today, and most of them resided in Europe after the ship sank. I've only seen information on two survivors so far, but I have found a very complete story of one man's experience as a child on the Wilhelm Gustloff.

# data[].attributes.body
On dw.com, I learned what contributed to the ship sinking. I also found that there are still things unknown about the event, and I want to learn more about those. I also found some information on a survivor who is no longer living.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to know what compelled so many people to board the ship and the soldiers decided who would be allowed to go. I also want more information on how the ship sank and what mysteries remain unsolved about the sinking.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt ok about creating questions. There were a couple I knew I wanted to ask, but others took some work. I feel good about "Why is this such a little-known tragedy?" and "What happened the night the ship sank?". I have already found some information that relates to these topics. I feel more unsure about "How many survivors are alive today and what are their stories?" and "How did this event influence the future?". I don't think there will be nearly as much information to help answer these questions.

# data[].attributes.body
Why do so little people know about this tragedy?
How many survivors are alive now? What are their stories

# data[].attributes.body
I think my research will be about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff.
