Exhibition Night

Exhibition was not as nerve wracking in the end probably because which each question asked I was prepared. Plus parents don't always ask questions about the calculations, or history, just more of the process and what the main points were.In Humanities it was more difficult to talk to parents since were the first table, everyone would walk in, find their kid, then rarely come back to the front again. Although the parents we did encounter the presentation went pretty well. A lot of them seemed impressed with the history content, as well as the fact that we chose it ourselves. Then when I would explain more in detail, I'd sort of lose their interest or they wouldn't understand it, but just be in awe. It was about the same thing for math/physics everyone was just impressed with the project itself and not necessarily the work and calculations. This was also because they wouldn't ask a lot content driven questions, so it was hard to bring it up while keeping their interest. For both classes that was my biggest weakness trying to teach my interest which was the heavy content but keeping it comprehendible. My favorite thing part was explaining the dark room, whenever someone stood reading the explanations I'd go explain it myself. It was fun because, I knew what I was talking about and also the person I was teaching generally had an interest it, since they stood there by will. As I said before not a lot of the parents asked content driven questions so the only thing that made an interaction difficult was if the parent was intimidating, not too polite, or just seemed like they weren't interested. Next time though I really want to have an extravagant display to engage and interest people.
