Multimedia Reflection

So far my group has gotten along pretty well. It has been somewhat difficult for us to meet all the time because we all are leaving at different times for breaks, but Google Docs has been a real lifesaver. We’ve worked on our scripts and storyboards solely through that and it has worked out perfectly. When we were first deciding on our topics we had two main ones we were thinking of: small vs. large class sizes and a possible change in the evaluation of teachers. We thought that the small vs. large class sizes would be a lot more interesting as well as more applicable to us as students that usually can make the decision as to whether we have large or small class sizes, and if we can’t we can sometimes pick a time that is more conducive to having a lecture hall class. I really like the topic we chose, and I think my group will continue to work well together.

Going Against Stereotypes

My name is Nessa and I'm an 18 year old living in Ireland!














I play on the field hockey team here, and am quite
good. I'm hoping to play at university. Although I enjoy field hockey, my favorite sport to watch is men's football.


Like I said, I'm from Ireland, Dublin to be more exact.




I can speak and understand Gaelic, but I speak English for the most part, especially because I travel around the UK often.


I eat a lot of normal food, but one thing I absolutely love for my mum to make is Nettle soup, absolutely delicious!


My parents are from Galway, and I lived there for a short time, but then moved to Dublin when I grew older. Galway is said to be the cultural capital of Ireland, and I love visiting.





Obviously I LOVE The Script because they were born here in Dublin, I've seen them play a few times. They are amazing! And even though they were founded in Northern Ireland, I still like Snow Patrol.



Over the summer my family and I often times go to England, and spend time in Brighton and London. Both beautiful cities!
