Gr 9 Living Museum - REFLECTION!!!!
If 1 is the lowest & 10 is the highest, what grade would you give yourself for:
1) the information in your speech: 8/10
2) the information in your A3 posters: 7/10
3) the way you did your speech (your presentation): 9/10
4) the way your A3 posters looked (its presentation):7/10
5) the amount you enjoyed yourself during that 1 hour of presenting:
12/10
Explain your reasons for the grades you gave yourself above for:
1) The information in your speech:
I gave myself a 8 out of 10 in the speech category because I think I wrote a
pretty good speech. This was my 4th draft of the speech. I think my introduction
was good and so was my main events and interesting story but I think I did not
write so well for the problems or benefits in my characters life.
2) The information in your A3 posters:
I don’t think I did a very good job on the posters because the only information I
had was VERY BASIC. My poster met the minimum requirements but was not
very interesting. I did add a cool fact on the poster that I had my own T.V. show
but that’s the only thing.
3) The way you did your speech (your presentation):
I think I did great in my presentation because many people came and
listened to me and they left my exhibition with a little bit more

2. knowledge and a smile. I also noticed that they weren’t bored throughout
the speech because I kept asking questions throughout and was
interacting with them.
4) the way your A3 posters looked (its presentation):
I think my posters were not bad looking but the way they were presented on
the black cardboard was not great. I did add fishes and bubbles to make it look
like it were undersea but it weren’t that attractive as it could have been. I think
I should have spent more time on the posters because from my point of view I
kind of had a very average looking poster and the reason for this is me not
trying too hard and the fact that I’m not a very artsy person.
5) The amount you enjoyed yourself during that 1 hour of presenting:
During that 1 hour, I had a great time. Many people came and listened to me…
from tiny kids to the head of the school. They all listened, asked questions and
held their breathes along with me. I had a lot of fun telling them about the life
of Jacques Cousteau and from what I saw they had a lot of fun learning about
the person too. I don’t think they remembered everything that I said when they
left but I surely think that they remembered JACQUES COUSTEAU INVENTED
THE AQUALUNG.
If you could change anything about what YOU did, what would it be? WHY?
I think the only change that I would make is to make my poster more
attractive looking. My poster was the only dull thing in my exhibition
because I was very active and the listeners were very active so the next
time I do this I will make more posters interesting and attractive so it isn’t
left out.

3. If you could change anything about what ANYONE ELSE DID, what would it
be? WHY?
I can’t really judge anyone else’s performance but I think the people who wore
just black should have tried harder and tried to get a costume.
In general, your living museum experience was………..
It was something new that I did and I enjoyed it a lot. I agree it required a lot of
work, a lot of preparation and a lot of organization from Ms. DeGreef but I
guess in the end it all paid off because of the fabulous performance that
everyone put on.
Thank you for your honest reflection!
