Monday, February 8th was a great night. We had pizza at A Slice of Brooklyn and then we made a presentation at the 77th Precinct Community Council meeting. There were a lot of people – probably over 50. I was a little nervous because I have never done a presentation outside of school before. But, come to find out it was great and me and the other students did well.
Floyya Richardson SpeaksTreverlyn: “My main goal for this project is to learn more about the community, I would like to know what life was like back then, how people could live without cell phones or without internet.”
Me: “I have never done anything like this before, and although I haven’t, I am going to make this a great memory and learn a lot from it.”
Floyya: “I would like to do this project to teach others in our community and make it possible for other people our age to do something similar.”
Monica: “I want to get involved in my community, because I think our community affects us just as much as we affect it.”
Our Team Waiting For the 77th Precinct Community Council Meeting
The people we presented to were a great audience and I will soon learn how to be a good audience member myself but until then I'll try my best. Bottom line is: Our presentation got people to sign up and we are closer to our goal of 60 people. It’s time to work.
This sounds like a great project. You should have great opportunities to be learners AND teachers. Good luck!
