Last preparation day

Tuesday's lesson started off with us, asking Mr.Paterson of the questions we have. When I asked about referencing the pictures, we were told about the website called creative commons, which is a website to find many of the pictures that are copyright free. I wished that I was told about this website or about the picture referencing a little earlier because we were almost at a point to finish our slides, almost moving onto the rehearsing process. It is a big burden to us and is in the way, taking more time from us because referencing takes quite a bit of time if we do not do it at the time when we got/found them. We might should not have been panicking now, but it is something that was to be told earlier - maybe even before the title slides explanation because what we have to do now is pretty much the same thing as remaking the ppt with the exact same content.

In our groups, we discussed how we can make the presentation better, and how we should be moving from now on, until Monday, when we might have the presentation. We must be finished with making the ppt, including the references, and rethink about the content of each person. Since Momoko was absent on both days and was not able to get communication even through SNS, we can tell her when she comes to school, but still, it is difficult to fill the blank she has from term 1. Regarding our schedule, we will keep in contact each other when we are making the ppt, using the comments and the days we meet in school. This way we can get the hold of what each other is doing. Then we will be practising our speech. We will video record ourselves speaking and fins our habits.

I am still very nervous about the presentation, but I am guessing that I will just have to complete it with confidence. I know practice makes confidence, so I am thinking to practice as much as possible to get everything done, on time with an acceptable quality.
