Baseball

Yes i mean baseball not softball. I play Jr's with the boys because I am to old for majors softball, and there is no softball team again that I can play on. So last year I played for the Braves on a majors team, and this year I play with Nick, Nick, Jake, Wyatt, Evan, Phalen, Colton, Jordan, Beck, and me. I play for the Red Sox and we have won all of our games except one to Coupville unfortunately we weren't playing our best and we are determined to do our best next time. The teams we play are La Conner, South Skagit, Sedro Wooley, Coupville, Friday Harbor, and Oak Harbor Athletics. I play 3rd base and right field. I also might pitch in our next game Phalen pitched in our last game that Pha and i played but i am hoping to pitch in the next game. :)

Lewis and Clark Reflection

Body Language

Did you stand up straight but stay relaxed?
Yes i did. You could also tell that i was kind of nervous.

Did you pause for a moment before you began your speech?
Yes i did. i took a minute and even said Mr.Berquist please give me a minute

Did you look at your audience?
Yes i did make a lot of eye contact with my audience. not a lot with the left side of the room.

Did you let your facial expressions naturally reflect what you were saying?
Yes i did. In the video when the question "What animal attacked Meriwehter Lewis?" pretty much everyone's hand went up i was shocked and my face showed it.

Did you use your hands?
Yes i did. When i would count something off i would use my fingers and hands.

Voice

Did you speak loudly enough so that everyone could hear you?
i did speak loud enough. It looked like i did in the video.

Did you change your tone to show how you felt (upset, excited) about an idea or to emphasize a point? I did not really change my voice. Pretty much only when I was shocked

Was your speed of delivery too fast, too slow or just right?
It was just right. People could understand me very well.

I didn't look at the screen. That much.

Not putting my hands up to my mouth.
