Showcase Adventure

Wow! Where do I begin, my showcase experience was amazing it went absolutely great. Although our presentation was great we did have problems before the actual presentation. We faced a lot of problems before we were back of top. Early in the project we were assigned group members in our English class and we were also given our question which was, “Should students in grades 9th-12th be required physical education,” now at first we thought that this was going to be a piece of cake but oh brother it wasn’t. At first we all agreed that it shouldn’t  be required because c’mon  what junior or senior wants to take physical education in their last two years of high school where they should be focusing on getting work done to go to college. So as we started to begin on the PowerPoint and the essay we began to realize that finding evidence and graphs to support this was not easy so we began to stress because days were going by and we still hadn’t accomplished anything, even teachers would come up to us and say why are you going against it when it would be much easier to go for it, which even put more stress on us because now we were so far along the project that it was going to be a risk going for it now and throwing everything we did away. When the project was like a week away we finally just said lets go for it. We quickly just told everyone in our group hey! Look we decided to go for it and we need everyone’s part done by the next time we meet. At the end we did have all our parts done and ready to go we had our PowerPoint and essay done and all we were waiting for was to present. We the day of the presentation came oh man I was nervous I walked into the class with my group we were all dressed and ready except that one of our group members didn’t show up so e had to present her part. When we were done we felt we did great and that the monkey on our back was off our back. We ended up getting a 3 out of 4 which was pretty much a B.
