    2.I feel really good about my presentation because I felt really passionate about it.
    3. My opinion is important because some kids stay on their phones for a lot of time , but there's an actual real world to live and it's not on a screen.
    4. I did get feedback from everybody that came to my booth and they said that they really liked it.
    5. the things that I would have done better are:
    -said my speech a little bit slower
    -and made a little bit more eye contact
    6. I learned that I was a lot better at speech talking (I don't know if you say it like that)
    7. I chose this problem because some people look at screens all the time even though life is outside not inside, on a screen.      ]]>     2019-04-19 14:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752103     Ferdinand's reflection https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752118 1. I've learned that the claim has to be a powerful claim, and has to start with:
    -Everyone should
    -We should
    -You should
    -People should...
    2. I felt a bit out of breath from reading to 11 people, but I felt happy, relieved, and convincing.
    3. It is important that people shouldn't waste food at the cafeteria...or anywhere because:
    -Some families are lacking food.
    -This is harmful and harsh against the Earth.
    -Also, it wastes the time and money of the people who made the food.
    4. I got feedback from Tanner, my dad, and Vincent and Jonathan's mom. Tanner said that he will try to ask his mom if he can bring a lunchbox to school. Vincent and Jonathan's mom said that it was very important to not waste food! They all said my speech was pretty good, and my poster also!
    5. I would have given a little bit more eve contact to the people I read my speech to.
    6. I learned that my speech was convincing, but that sometimes I said 2 sentences backwards, so I had to find a way to make them both make sense again, and that I also need to give my audience a little bit more eye contact.
    7. Mrs. Borrero took us on a tour around the school, and when we got to the cafeteria, I said to myself: "That's a BIG problem!" So I wrote it down, thought of a claim, introduction, reasons, a conclusion, and solutions.]]>     2019-04-19 14:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752118     Tessa's reflection https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752119 1. I learned that persuasive speeches can change the world.
    2. I felt stressed and really really exited. And when it was done I felt releved.
    3. My opinion is inportant because some people could get really badly hurt because the upper schoolers are older than us and have a different force.
    4. Yes, I did get feedback from:
    -Kamilia's mom
    -Tessa's mom 
    -Margot's mom 
    -Ane's mom 
    ...
    5. I would have looked more at my audience, to give my speech more POWER.
    6. I learned that I can do a lot of convincing. 
    7. I thought is was inportant and needed to be heared.    ]]>     2019-04-19 14:03:51 UTC https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752119     Hov@nnes's reflection https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752141 1.I learned that my speech has to be more powerful,and that my Introductions more powerful when it starts with a question.
    2.I felt like I wasn't talking loud enough
    3.My opinion is important because I've heard people complaining that they don't have space and that they have people breathing on them,that they get pushed.
    4.No
    5.I would have made it longer and I would have spoke louder
    6.I learned that during class I speak louder then when I speak during the Expert Fair witch isn't right
    7.I chose that problem because Mrs.Borrero took us on a tour through school. She took us to the cafeteria and when I sat down I thought"Wow it's so tight here"then I looked at where we got are food compared to where the tables were so I wrote it down on my note book.    ]]>     2019-04-19 14:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752141     Vincent's reflection https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752198 1. I learn that the claim I did is a more powerful claim then when I was in 3 grade. I added more words and more things then before when I was in 3 grade.
    2. I feel normal and proud of myself because I don't know it is just like that.
    3. My claim is important because it is important to whisper at the cafeteria. 
    4. I got feedback by my mom and that is the only person I know who give me feedback because I did not remember the other persons. But I remember other moms of what they were talking to me.
    5. I don't know. Maybe use more gestures and that is all.
    6. I learn nothing about myself.
    7. I choose this topic because I think that it would be good to do this topic.    ]]>     2019-04-19 14:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752198     Thomas's reflection https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752199 1. I've learned that the claim is very strong and that it is powerful when it starts by a question.
    2. I felt stressed and then I felt fine when I was reading it for the second time.
    3. My opinion is important because it needs to change. It needs to change because it can get someone hurt.
    4. Yes, people where saying that they all agreed and that I needed to talk louder because it was loud with other people talking to.
    5. I would of done nothing differently because I think that it was the best that I could do and because I liked the way it was made.
    6. I learned that I could do the things that I think that I can't.
    7. I chose it as my topic because I think that it is a problem that we waste time, that we could get hurt and that I don't like th]]>     2019-04-19 14:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752199     clement's reflection https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752221 1.I learned that my expert was great.I learned that I know how to make our opinion writing and how to state it parts to parts in our opinion writing. I learn how to search our claim.I learned how to talk to make movement.       2.I felt first that it is going to be horrible and trash. After, I felt that this is going a little bit good but I thought that was still going to be horrible. Next,I think that it was going to be horrible. Finally at the end, I thought that was going to be great.
    3.I is important to have better food at the cafeteria.I didn't did that to make it as a work but for my family and everybody who wanted to listen to my beautiful speech.Nobody would alert that to anybody of the cooks.
    4.Yes, they just say that my speech was beautiful and that I must put a little bit louder the volume.
    5.I wouldn't make it differently, it was the best speech I made from now on.
    6.I learned to talk louder and to give a lot of emotions.It was beautiful
    7.I had too much in my brain.I needed to change the food. It was too much but it worked.]]>     2019-04-19 14:04:42 UTC https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752221     Margot's reflection https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752225 1. I learned that my claim needs to be really powerful, but I also learned that  it can't start with:
    - But
    - And
    - Because
    2. I felt stressed and nervous and when I feel stressed or nervous I start to move and that is very distracting for the audience and for me.
    3. My opinion is important because littering is ruining our world messing it up and that's not good because we only have one world and that is planet earth! 
    4. Yes I got some good feedback, from my mom she thought she was convinced and some said it was good interesting and all that stuff.
    5. When I was presenting my speech I was nervous a little stressed and exited but I think I really expressed my emotions while presenting my speech and moving around so I think I should of stayed still talk a little louder(I was a little nervous sometimes because there was a lot of 3rd graders at my stand at a time.)
    6. I learned that I was actually not really that kind of person how did not like to present to a bunch of people and a little scared to do it but I did it anyway. 
    7. I chose this topic because I've been seeing some trash on the floor an more trash some other places and I thought if people new students are going to visit this school and expect something more cleaner and better than what they just saw so I wrote my thoughts and I picked this topic because it needed to be heard because when there was an important event at Awty when it will be finished you will find the place full of trash again!!!!!

I learned that watching screens (electronics) could give you bad habits. I also learned that even children that are 6 or 5 years old still spend an average of 7 hours daily on screens!
    2. I felt really  stressed in the beginning but after i felt better because I already did in front of 5 people
    3. My opinion is important because it could give kids bad habits for example ( it promotes poor behaviors, some re addicted to their electronics...)
    4. Yes i got some feedback from my mom, the principal... They said i did eye contact my reasons were well stated and that i chose good topic.
    5. What i would have done differently  is to add gestures and do a little more eye contact but I think the rest was good.
    6. I learned that my speech  was convincing and powerful but I sometimes I stopped when there was words that were difficult .
    7. I chose this topic because i thought it was important that kids are aware that by watching screens could give them bad habits.]]>     2019-04-19 14:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752272     Jonathan's reflection https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752354 1. I learned that saying a speech isn't just reading it, it's also about raising your voice and speak seriously, showing that your statement is way more important than just the claim that isn't just a claim but a whole explanation that gives the real reason of your claim.
    2. I was all stressed at the beginning and then, when it started, it got worse and I exploded of stress! But I felt happy because I presented in front of students, parents and  teachers. 
    3. My opinion was important because the food can make some students  thro and cause allergies. The food is way to repeating and never get real food from the world! That is why I chose my claim as "We need better food at the cafeteria!"
    4. I only 2 feedbacks: 1 before I even do the speech was when my teacher said that it wasn't true and the food was good and the other feedback was at the end of my speech and it was Vincent's mother and she that I could try to convince the principle by showing the food that could be as the new menu and that could convince him.  
    5. I would've do more eye contact because I was so stressed that I try to do as less eye contact as possible but the rest was OK.
    6. I learned about myself that it wasn't this easy to do eye contact and to speak without being this embarrassed. I also learned about myself that I took a claim that most people were saying that I was correct after and my topic too at the end of my presentation. 
    7. I chose that topic because we always got the same food and other students could get sick and throw up. That is why I chose "We need better food at the cafeteria."

    2.I felt like if I was going to fall of a clif! (which means that I was nervous)
    3.My opinion was important because, first of all, it isn't fair for others to be together, while some are all gloomy and sad, sitting aside.
    4. I only got feedback from ferdinand's dad, and he said, ''it was PERFECT!''
    5.I would have done way more movement.
    6.I've learned that I should be doing more eye contact than I usually do in class. 
    7.I chose this problem because some kids are feeling exluted and that is just wrong.]]>     2019-04-19 14:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/352752567     https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/353051601 2019-04-22 13:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/353051601 https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/353053414 2019-04-22 14:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/theawtyinternational/a9pikoe9dnhp/wish/353053414
