Okay, So I'm gonna be talking about our Renaissance project

and just how we got there and all the steps

that we had to go through, what our project idea

was gonna be, how we were going to carry it

out and just the struggles and highs with during our

project. So first we have are beginning ideas that we

were going to dio but things that we thought about

doing and they really just didn't pan out we're into

fake ax going know that did not work face paint

was just gonna cause way too many problems.

Comedy shows was pretty high on the list, but, like

just the amount of the time, we kind of started

late because we had so many setbacks with ideas.

Um, we really wanted to do get your fortune told.

And we did a lot of research on that one

and really, like, wanted to do that.

We practised.

And by the time we like, we're able to present

and present our ideas.

Someone else had already had that idea and we didn't

wanna have to groups obviously doing the same thing.

So we had to move on with other ideas.

There's a lot of other ideas on there, but yeah,

And after beginning ideas, we had just the trial and

error process of trying all these ideas and like realizing

that they're not gonna work.

And so we presented our ideas to the teacher and

we got class opinions, and we did research and try

different ways of presenting.

But none of them really were working out, and it

just was a big struggle, and we wasted a lot

of time in the beginning, but we came to the

realization that already a where they were not gonna work

and we needed Teoh come up with something that was

going to keep the kids interested and be fun and

educational and just really get our point across and just

really, like, come up with a good idea.

And so we got help from the teacher and we

researched more about the Renaissance and try to find things

that we thought these kids would want to learn.

And finally we came up with our big idea, which

was the printing press.

Um, and we had to work on carrying out the

big idea, like figure out what we were gonna dio.

And so we picked our main concept, which was the

printing press, and we were just gonna talk about, like

how the printing press worked and who created it.

We were going to have these phone meat trays that

we carved there.

Well, they used popsicle sticks to carve their name or,

like a letter or whatever they wanted any role in

Khan. And it was gonna be like a makeshift printing

press print.

Impressed. But we had come up with our plan and

there was gonna be a quick segment video, um, about

the printing press and explaining it better in depth, and

we could of and just really a lot of fun.

There was gonna be stamps.

So there were the kids were to switch groups.

So we really We had planned this one out and

really thought it was gonna go somewhere.

Obviously, we were a little behind on the planning portion

of it because we had so many trial and error

with the idea concept, like trying to come up with

a good idea.

And so we decided where are idea was gonna take

place in the school.

We picked out our supplies with Miss Kitten.

The art teacher and we went to other teachers that

I always see you to see if they had stamps.

And that was a little bit of a let down

because they didn't have Sam's everyone's kind of using stickers

now. So we were gonna have to order stance and

a like ink pad thing online, which was actually, the

impact was kind of cheap, but the stamps were other

story, so we were softening to figure that part out.

But we were gonna have, um, old styled paper, which

was just t dipped paper that was gonna make it

look like, really vantage and just really sell it basically.

And we just We started writing our script about what

we were going to say and how we were gonna

carry out the presentation, the performance, and it was a

lot more difficult than we thought it was gonna be

like trying to keep the kids occupied without, like, sounding

like robots.

We didn't want to keep talking and keep talking.

And so practicing the presentation was a really big part

of it.

And we did a lot of group work because we

have three people in our group, so we spread it

out evenly, and we really had to work on doing

that. But I think that it would have been a

good idea if we could have carried it out.

And we're all pretty sad that we were able to

carry it out because I know that my cousins that

were always see had been hearing about it.

And they were They were really excited for, um, the

Renaissance thing.

And so I was pretty sad that they didn't get

to see it.

And like after all the work that we put into

it and all the other students put into it, it

was definitely kind of a letdown.

But hopefully we get another opportunity to do something like

this, and yeah, and obviously I didn't feel the time

very well because we didn't ah, really carry out enough

to, like, show examples of what we're gonna dio.

Um, but you said that we could talk about, like,

the Corona virus and things.

So I'm just going, like, kind of take the time

to explain, like how the Corona viruses kind of affecting

teenagers like you hear it, um, other people's stories and

everything, but like, I feel like it's affecting people emotionally

more than its If, like obviously, it's a sickness and

like deadly.

But there are so many repercussions, and it's having on,

like, the nervous system and just people's emotions, especially teenagers

like it, honestly, kind of feels like we're grounded, which

we're not gonna take it for granted because, like, obviously

it's it's for the better.

But, um, a lot of teenagers and a lot of

just students in general like really depend on the social

interaction and they get at school.

Maybe they don't exactly like school, but like I don't

dislike school.

But I really don't have a lot of friends like

close friends.

I do but see going for so long without seeing

a lot of the people that I care about and

that I talked Thio going through life struggles and not

being able to have those people like right there with

me. That is probably probably the biggest struggle I've had

with it because I really do depend on the social

interaction and so being stuck in the house with the

same people over and over again is definitely struggle.

But I really do.

I think that it's kind of bettered us because like

I don't know how to explain it.

But it was kind of like everything was getting kind

of overwhelming with end of school kind of coming near

like we weren't quite there.

But you knew it was kind of looming and just

having all this work that we needed to get turned

in. And I was going through a lot of personal,

like home struggles and friendship struggles.

So, like I was just getting really overwhelmed and it

honestly, like taking this break.

It was like, really refreshing.

And I'm still bored, like 90% of the time.

But I really do like I feel like we've all

kind of benefitted from the state Home order.

And I really think that the teachers are doing a

really great job of trying to keep the social interaction.

There was new meetings and not necessarily just a score,

but like emailing us to keep us on track and

like emailing us just asking about our day, it really

does help.

And whether the students say that or not, they really

do. We really do depend on being able to talk

to people because, like early shy Dio and I think

that it's been a struggle?

Definitely. But it really has benefitted.

We have benefited from it.

So, yeah, I'm not gonna keep droning on because I

can't really figure out what I'm gonna say.

And I stumble over words when I can't.

So I'm just gonna end it here.

And, um, thank you for listening.
