In English, we had a big project called eminent. We had to research one influential figure that benefited the world positively. The person I chose for this project was Terry Fox. In addition to our research, we also had to present a speech from the perspective of an inanimate object or another person. I chose to create a speech from the perspective of Terry Fox’s artificial leg.
For this assignment, I used my research skills to find various sources for my research and to create a bibliography. I improved my personal awareness and responsibility from completing this assignment. I had to exercise my time management skills and stay responsible when we were given time to research in class. I also improved my creative thinking skills by coming up with unique ideas and perspectives for my speech.
Some challenges I faced while working on the project were managing my time. Although we had a few weeks to complete this project, it was a big project and required a lot of time. In the beginning, I spent too much time researching and I started writing my speech a little late. However, I still managed to utilize my time effectively towards the end and I had time to practice my speech for a few days before presenting.
Here is a copy of my speech:
