Presentation Reflection

1. My interview with Atiana Price , was a huge help with my first presentation. She gave me very specific and detailed answers. For example, I asked her what her opinion was on parents being responsible for their child's self esteem. She told me that it is most important for a parent to help with a growing girls self esteem because if you don't young girls are lost in the world. Meaning they don't know who they are and they don't know who to be. When they just need to be their selves.

2. Well I asked the class what they thought about girls being conceited and if that meant that they have low self esteem. Most of the class agreed, And it made sense why they did, my opinion was it could go either way. Girls can be full of themselves and truly love themselves or be full of themselves because they really don't love their self. It just depends on the girl.

3. Well I thought the time was going to be most challenging but turns out it was making sure the class understood what I was trying to teach. Mainly because I'm sure the guys weren't interested ,but I tried to keep themas involved in the questions as I could.

Blog 3 Senior Project Presentation

Lesson: My first interview with Atiana Price

Objective: Students will learn how to boost a teenage girls self esteem.

Procedure:
1) I will start my presentation by asking if anyone knows how to spot girls with low self esteem. And why they think the girl is that way?

2) I will then ask the students why they think girls have low self esteem? Followed by " what are ways to help girls boost their self esteem?"

3)Afterwards I will explain why girls should have good self esteem and why?

4)Then I will explain why girls need to love their self before they want to love someone else or some e love them.

5) I will have a board with charts of eating disorders dieting among teenage girls etc, showing the effects of low self esteem.

6) Then go on to say that it is a parents job to help girls understand that no one is perfect and to love their self.

Check for understanding : I will check for understanding by asking what they think is most important when building a teenage girls self esteem.

L.I.A

Literal: I have learned a lot from my interview. Such as that it's a parents job to help girls with their self esteem because if they rely on the media it will only get worse. If young girls turn to the media for advice they will Lear that they need to be perfect and sexy, rather than humble and beautiful.

Interpretive: I will show my board that will have charts with different types of things that happen when girls have low self esteem. Such as eating disorders, dieting, as well as anorexia.

Applied: I will make sure the students understand that this really is a big deal. reason being girls are the new future . Way more than before our time, girls need to be stronger and have more power.

Blog #1 Senior Project Topic

My senior project is Self Esteem in Teenage Girls. The topic never really caught my attention till I watched a presentation on it. It was different and something I would really love to learn more about. When reading articles about Self esteem in teenage girls , I came across an interesting piece of research. It said that parents have a lot to do with ones self esteem, and that really caught my eye.  So after studying this topic all year I would really like to accomplish knowing if that is really true or not. Is it really the parents job to build ones self esteem? Or does is depend on the person and their strength. Also I would really love to help others with their self esteem and maybe build more to mine. Therefore I would really like to accomplish learning what exactly is self esteem ?
