PART I: Two-Hour Presentation
(1) Two-Hour Presentation Student Assessment
P

Why?
I exceeded my 30 minutes of minimum speaking time by about 15 minutes, which shows how prepared I was. Also, I put so much effort into my entire thing to shoot for an AE, even though I felt that wasn't likely. My activities clearly connected to my answers, and they were very much liked by the whole class. I had a lot of creativity put into my decorations such as my table covers of different villian characters and my dead/gothic attire.

(2) What are you most proud of in your 2 hour presentation and why?
I'm most proud that I did it without panicing. I have anxiety and commonly get panic attacks when under pressure. I also usually choke on my words. I only did that 3 times during my presentation, and they weren't so noticable (I know this because I recorded my presentation and watched it before doing this).

PART II: Overall Senior Project Experience

(3) What do you think you did well on in the project? What could you have done better? Please explain.
I think I did very well on my Creative Expression, just because I'm so proud of it. A lot of research went into it, and it symbolized my best answer to my essential question. What I could have done better is definitely my Exit Interview. But, I don't think that's totally all my fault. I was informed in that, a component, that I was lacking in research and knowledge of acting. I feel I should have been told that a lot sooner than a month before my presentation, especially not during something worth 100 points.

(4) What is your EQ and what is the best answer to your EQ?
What in horror film history has made the most significant influence on horror films today?

The Original Horror Films between 1900-1950

(5) How has the last month of culminating events (e.g I-Search, Two-Hour, Exit etc) affected your answer to your EQ? Has it changed? Why or why not?
All three of those things strongly effected my entire project as a whole. My topic was changed during my exit interview. Which means my EQ was changed. I had to rush to find my new answer and when I did, I had to work nonstop just to get everything done for my 2 hour and isearch paper, which were due about the same time.

(6) What suggestions do you have in order to improve the senior project?
I think the juniors should have a mini version of this, just so they're not thrown into this senior year. this was such a huge change and I feel that if you give them a feel for what they're going to do senior year, it will all together be more successful.

(7) Overall Senior Project Assessment

Why?
I got a P on almost all of my components. I work hard and put all of my effort into each component.
