Reflections:
Q1. What did you learn about the importance of classification and the Five Kingdoms?
Q2. What did you learn from the feedback (peer/teacher)?
Q3. What will you do differently next time?
A1. Firstly, I learned that Taxonomy is important to know in any situation you are in. For example, you could be on a camping field trip, and you see a strange looking leaf. Then, it turns out to be poison Ivy. So you could see how that would be a problem. Secondly, I learned that the importance of knowing what the Five Kingdoms is a great skill to use in the future. To support this sentence, my older sister had said she had done a Five Kingdoms project in high school that went deeper into each kingdom. So, I feel that it was great to learn about it now, because it will be easier if we learn about it sometime in the future. Lastly, I learned that is important to know how to classify living organisms because you may want a certain job like a Biologist that will require you to know how to classify different organisms. But not necessarily to classify them into the different kingdoms, or the future kingdoms that may come.
A2. Firstly, I have learned that I should have moved around a little bit more. Although I wanted to, I couldn’t really so much because I would have either gone off the camera’s view, I would have gotten in the way of my poster, or I would have gotten in the way of my SlideRocket presentation. But, I will try to move around more next time. Secondly, I learned that I had used a lot of hand gestures, and expression in my voice! Lastly, I learned that I was creative in my presentation!
(I never really got feedback other than moving around a little more, so I’m happy!)
A3. Firstly, I think if I had to change anything about my presentation, I would have tried to include even more information in the presentation. Although, since we were on a time crunch, I tried to summarize it as much as I could. On that note, I got pretty nervous when everyone started coming into the class, like Mrs.Jensen, although it helped me try even better because I knew that our principal was watching! Secondly, I would try to include Latin names for examples like “Mushrooms.” Actually, I had written down the latin names somewhere, but then I thought we didn’t need to include it after I read the criteria. Although, you were allowed to, that just meant you went above and beyond, so it was a silly mistake. Lastly, I would have tried to include most of the class in my presentation. Originally, I was going to do this “Q and A” session with the class, but in the end I didn’t. Almost halfway through my presentation there was this question I had asked, but I guess they didn’t know I was asking them so I quickly answered it. In the end, I did have a little “Q and A” section on my poster, so if they wanted to participate, they could have!
Overall, I would do a similar presentation again, and I really hope to get the opportunity to use SlideRocket again! (Fun project!)

My SlideRocket is down below! Hope you enjoy! :D
