Reflection on King Arthur Presentation

From this presentation, I learned that we should have included a lot more information. I made a mistake, and focused on another criteria. I should have talked about what happened to the Excalibur later, what it was used for, and presented more information about the excalibur. I felt like Dylan and Phoebe's Presentation was very well planned and presented. I liked the way they used prezi, and I also like their detailed and thorough. Although they had a lot of information, they still had it well organized. If I could do another presentation like this, I would use Dylan and Phoebe's as an example, and as a guide on how to improve. I also how Vivian and Samuel connected the round table with other events such as the wedding! That made the presentation make sense, and it got our interest. This is how I would improve if I had another chance.

My Hero - Nancy Zuch

Nancy Zuch is my hero because she had contributed greatly to the young cancer patients. She gave a childhood to many young cancer patients by making a preschool just for young cancer patients, and made life enjoyable and happy for young cancer patients in their childhood. Taking care of young cancer patients is hard, but Nancy Zuch is always happy when she sees a real smile on the kids. What she did touched my heart deeply... I admire her passion for taking care of others, which aren't seen a lot in people now days. This is where I discovered my hero; Nancy Zuch: http://edition.cnn.com/2012/02/16/us/cnnheroes-zuch-morgan-center/index.html.

Traits of Hero

In my opinion, a hero is simply a person that you admire. For example, someone might think Hitler is a great hero, or someone might think their mom is a hero simply because they like and admire them. For me, I think that my mother-side's grandpa is a hero, he fought in WW2 and tells me stories of him fighting in the war, and getting shot in the back, I admire that a lot. Little kids might think a person like wonder woman is a heroin because they admire her. That's all I think about heroes, so if you think that someone is a hero, he... IS a hero.

Qualities of Legendary people

Look at the legends of King Arthur or Robin Hood, they both had different traits. But have you ever thought about the future legends? Who might they be and what traits might they have? Well, I think Justin Bieber would be one of the legendary people, I think he will be known for having the power to sing badly but still make everyone happy, and earn lots of money. Maybe Steve Jobs will become a legend too, in that future legend, maybe he will be able to make an apple product in a simple click on the mouse. I believe that the qualities that might turn someone into legend are being a cool topic to talk about, well known, and different from others. Firstly, if you are a cool topic to talk about between random people, you and your traits gets spread quickly, and these traits will also change a little by little and eventually get exaggerated. Secondly, if you are well known, everyone knows you and your traits, so stories about you will eventually get partly made up, becoming a legend. Lastly, if you are different from others, you are very likely to be noticed and to be made up into stories. These are the qualities I believe will make a person become a legend.

Remember, don't...

"Remember, don't leave the house after dark" was something I often heard my parents say when they're leaving for a long business trip. If I never obeyed my this rule, I COULD HAVE been kidnapped or robbed when wondering around the dark streets. But I remember this caution and obey it. "Remember, don't make friends in the internet" was another thing my mom often said to me. I obeyed, and still obey this rule my mom had taught me. You never know if a person is good or bad when you're on the internet. They might seem like a good person to you, but you never know... If I had made friends randomly on the internet, I could have been tricked into deals that they make, like letting me earn money by showing them certain things, and having those things ending up on the internet where everyone has access to. Or I could have been tricked into attending parties but actually get kidnapped or threatened at a random place (not a party). Those two statements are often heard in my house, but again, the examples I made are just about the worst things that can happen to you... Ha Ha!
