Teaching About the Planets

In the previous class, we were instructed to sign up for a planet to teach and work in a group to create a couple slides on a power point and present to the class. The planet my partner and I chose was Uranus. We were instructed to do research on this planet and then come in and put it all together in a power point. I wish things went differently. My partner was sick today and did not show up, and I ended up being very overwhelmed and felt stressed out and rushed. Even though this was unfortunate, I worked the hardest and fasted I could to come up with an effective, decent way to teach the class about Uranus. The first slide contained fun facts about Uranus and a couple pictures about the planet. The second slide had more pictures and a couple more facts. I wish I engaged the class better and had more to present, but we were very limited time and I was by myself doing the work. To look on the bright side, I learned a lot about Uranus that I had never known before and that I completely forgot about. It is a very unique and interesting planet.

I also learned a lot from my classmates presenting their planets. We all gave each other useful information that we will need to teach about these planets to our future students. This situation also taught me a good life lesson. It is important to always be prepared for the worst and never to rely on anyone else. I did not want to present by myself and was very nervous, and even asked if I had to, and I did. I sucked it up and told myself I could do it! Even though it was far from perfect, and I wish I did things differently, I did my best for what I had to work with and believed in myself.
