Photo Essay

     Hello, my name is Matthew. From Monday, I started to took a picture every day. These pictures remind me what happened that day. Today, I am trying to talk about those pictures about my life in GLPS(Global Leadership Program for Students). I hope you enjoy my photo essay!^^

     -Picture #1-  

This picture was taken on Monday when I was working in the first self-study time. I was working to finish my history presentation. It was really hard for me to take this picture because you are not suppose to do anything else without works. However, my friend borrowed me his computer, and I took this picture. By the end of the first self-study time, I finished my history homework. I thought that I was in a heaven because I was ready to talk about my Roman history  presentation. I could hear people playing around in the other room, while you need to work quietly. 

     -Picture #2-

      This picture was taken by my friend me talking about an award called Darwin Award. Talking about the Darwin Award was one of my speech that I introduced to my classmates. I first talked the definition of the Darwin Award. Then I told them the history of Darwin Award. Lastly, I told them how to get a Darwin Award, who got a Darwin Award, and how dangerous the Darwin Award is. I was comfortable, but sometimes nervous when I was speaking. I heard that my classmates were interested in this topic. I felt that I was going to be inside 3rd place in our class-speech contest. 

     -Picture #3-

     As you can see in this picture, I was presenting history presentation. I was talking about a topic called Roman technology. I told about Roman roads, bridges, aqueducts, dams, and military technology. I felt that I am very nervous, but also comfortable. After I finished talking about those facts, I felt that I will be inside 3rd place. I could hear our classmates clapping to me after I finished my presentation.

     -Picture #4-

     This picture was a picture when I was working in the second-self study time. I was working on my debate script because our classmates will debate with the other class tomorrow. I discuss with my friends some arguments and predicted some rebuttals. I heard many students and teachers talking because almost all of the students were here to talk about their debate. I smelled that my friend was eating chips. I took some of his chips and went back to work on my debate again.

      -Picture #5-

     This picture is a picture when I was working with classmates in the writing class. We worked on the creative writing and photo essay. However, I already finished writing my creative writing, so I wrote the first draft of the photo essay. It was very interesting to write about my photo essay. I liked to write those essays in the writing class. I wish that I could work more in the writing class.

     -Picture #6-

     I pictured myself working on a another history

presentation. This time, I had to write about Roman military weapons. I wrote about some personal weapons, and some inventions, such as Ballista, Ballistae, Siege tower, and Battering Ram. It was very interesting to research this topic. I wrote my script and also made the handouts for the audience. I wish that this history presentation will also be successful.

     -Picture #7-

     This is my last picture about my Photo Essay. This photo is when I was watching people doing their history presentation and speech contest. I was writing a suggestion and a compliment for the speaker.  I really liked their speeches and history presentation. I wish that I could listen what they were talking again.

      This is about my one week Photo Essay. It was very interesting to take a picture and describe it with the sentences. I wish that I had one more project to write about my photos.
