I think Justin Blanchfield was most inspiring to me. I liked how he like to help people and it surprised me that an engineer like gardening. I learned that questions are good if they aren’t a yes/no question. These famous people cam to our school to give us a workshop so we need to ask good question with lots of detail so we aren’t wasting their time. In the future, when i do interviews and thing like that where asking questions is involved, i will use these skills. What stood out to me is that these people are all amazing people that have accomplished a lot. I mean a ex-rock star got a phd in anthropology. -Kenny
Justin Blanchfield spoke to me most because he talked about how engineering and farming come toghether. I learned that when asking some one a question, a bad question is a yes or no question. I will use it when I need to ask some one something. Like to ask my uncle about his job. That each speaker was skilled and good with talking. Plus all where always wanting everyone to ask question and get involved.

The speaker who spoke most to me was Elizabeth May because she cares about the whole worlds environment. Instead of just wanting to save our environment here she wants to save the environment everywhere because she really cares about our earth. She also made it clear to NEVER give up which I really liked. What I learned about asking questions was that to always ask because if you don’t ask you might never know the answer and it will teach you something new. I will use what I learned today to affect change in the world and to help the environment and I can use it when I one day vote. What stood out to me from this two day learning experience was to be open to things and help the environment and to work hard and never give up. I also learnt a lot of things from all three speakers.

The speaker that spoke most to me was Sarah Fletcher. I dont know why but she just semmed to fascinate me. Most of the things she said just seemed to make me smile for some reason.
I learned from Christopher is that you can not ask a yes or no question because you cant waste their time. and you have to be very descriptive with your questions.
I will use what i learned from chris tyo make sure i dont waste peoples time with dumb questions and i will try and be more descripritive.
I really liked the speakers and they were just very intresting.

what stood out is that each of them had a different thing about them but they had lots of similar things like most of them said that they are global citizens. and that they all are part of the government. they all have very important jobs.
