1. My first interview affected my presentation in the way that I actually had some source to talk about. I presented the things that my interviewee said about what I had asked her. I presented what she said about her perspective about ballet.
2. I think the thing that stood out about my presentation what that I incorporated a lot of art into it. I also let everyone know how much ballet feels to me and why I chose it.
3. The most challenging thing to do was to explain the audience my perspective on ballet. Not everyone knows what ballet actually is and to explain it is even more difficult because you what the audience to know your perspective.

Research
What is your topic? Why? And what do you hope to accomplish after studying this topic all year?
Topic: Ballet Dancing
I chose ballet dancing as my topic because I enjoy learning and dancing ballet. I've always watched and enjoyed ballet shows whether they were on T.V. or live. My parents took my sister and I to live ballet shows such as: the nutcracker. I love dancing on the dance floor to any kind of music you could ask anyone especially my family. I especially love dancing ballet because it makes me forget about the world and moves me into another perfect world. I hope to accomplish perfect dance moves, being good enough so that I could be in the front line, and knowledge about ballet. In order to be in the front line you have to have all the steps perfect, so I hope that I could officially perform everything perfect in the end. As of right now, ballet is a big part in my life but at the end I hope that I will be better in order to appreciate it more.
