- How did I feel during planning this presentation? Why did I feel this way?
- I felt really good planning this presentation. My entire group was in a unanimous decision about who was going to do what. Oliver would do the opener, I would do the closing, Tyera the flaws, etc. I was very excited that I got to do the closing.
- How did I feel prior to presenting? Why did I feel this way?
- Before we presented I was confident in what I was going to say. I was a bit nervous presenting for the first time for some of the 8th graders, but I was confident in my speech. I practiced over the weekend, and it helped tremendously. It made it less stressful when the time came.
- How did I feel while I was presenting? Why did I feel this way?
- I felt very confident. I was a tiny bit nervous but I had my speech memorized. I also learned that memorizing something, or knowing it very well, makes the entire presentation better.
- What did I personally do well?
- I think I projected my voice, summed all the topics up, and ended on a true strong point.
- What did not go as desired in this presentation?
- Lisa’s had a bit too much content, and the things we fixed with the technology went back to what they were originally. Oliver was also not very confident in what he thought.
- On a scale from 1-10, how well do I think I understood the content? Explain.
- I think that I would rate myself a 7 on the content, because I understand the flaws, benefits, and most of the content.
- How do I think my group members perceived me? Why do I think this?
- I think all my group members perceived me as someone who would get their work done, get it done right, and do a good job doing it. Based on my previous projects.
- How do I think the 8th graders perceived me? Why do I think this?
- Going into this I knew a majority of the eighth graders. Them being 6th graders when I was a 5th grader, out teachers had our classes do a lot together. Hopefully they thought that I knew what I was talking about, and hopefully spoke loud enough to everything to a close.
- Knowing that I can only control how I act and react, if I could do this presentation again, what would I change about my actions to make it a more ideal experience?
- I would help Lisa pick out the main things from the Wade-Davis Bill, and take some of it to present it, so she doesn’t have to memorize everything.
- What are my strengths in groups?
- I’m usually a pretty good task manager, and a good leader most of the time. And always get my work done on time, and done right. But this was a project that didn’t need a leader; we each did our own thing.
- What areas do I need improvement?
- My public speaking could use some work. I need to have more, different, gestures, move around, and interact with the audience more.
- What is the most important thing I learned about myself? Why is this so important?
- I learned that, the more I know the topic, and the more I practice, the MUCH better the presentation will be. If you’re more confident in yourself, you sound more confident to the audience.
- Are there any other things that I need to express?
- None that I could think of at this time.
