Today we presented our Keynotes about Wachner Place to the rest of the class - Kady, Miro, John, AJ and I - and we got to see the other group's presentations as well. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Why on earth would somebody want to do an entire Keynote on stinking Wachner Place?" Very understandable, thinking that. So why are we spending precious time perfecting and fiddling and putting effort into a Keynote about Wachner Place??? The answer is simple. Because we have to.
Well, yes, we have to, but we also want to put the Wachner into Wachner place. We want to make Wachner Place exciting, so that instead of having to say, "Oh, we don't have to go to Wachner Place, do we?", you can say, "Can we go to Wachner Place? I want to play with the Tilting Ball Maze and sketch the brand new gardens and play with the giant chess board and look at the murals and the mosaics and everything!"
Next week we are going down into the Council Chambers to present our proposal to the council. Eek. Yeah you might not think that that's so scary. But look at it this way. Scary adults plus wimpy kids plus stuttering words plus silly Keynotes equals...
EEK.
But everything will be so much better once we practice hard. We won't be wimpy kids anymore, we'll be confident kids who know exactly what they're doing. And we won't be stuttering anymore, we'll be talking loudly and clearly. And they won't be silly Keynotes anymore, they'll be flawless Keynotes with no mistakes and awesome colours and creative fonts and settings and bold titles and much more. But OK, so you can't take away the fact that they're scary adults! ; - p
