City Connection Reflection

In humanities class, we each had to make a PowerPoint of where we lived. I chose Seoul, Korea because I was born there and so did most of my ancestors. Also, Seoul is one of the top 10 cities in the world. GO SEOUL! I tried my best in this PowerPoint.

I think my PowerPoint was excellent. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but I think it looked awesome. I had lots of details in my information, I had good and rare picture of Seoul, I had a table of contents, etc... Among all those things, I think the information and table of contents were the best. I put as many information I can possibly put in the PowerPoint as I can, and chose a lot of cool facts that lots of people didn't know about Seoul. Most of all, I tried my best, and I think it's the best power point I ever did in my life.

On the other hand, I think I have to work on my presentation skills. I need to stop saying "like", and "and". I tried to change this habit for a long time but I get nervous and start saying the same words over and over again. Also, I think that the pictures and sentences flying in got messy. I could have less things flying in, or have none at all. I think I improved a lot in my presentation and PowerPoint making skills. I also tried to follow the things on the rubric to strike my best. I think I put all the things the rubric wanted us to put in. The rubric was a great help to me.

I learned a lot while listening to other people present. I think the most important thing I learned was that confidence was everything. The kids who were good at the presentation were all confident about their PowerPoint. The kids who did not so good as the confident kids were not so confident. The next important lesson I learned was to speak louder. I also learned that having little information is good too. Some people chose to explain the facts instead of reading the information straight from the PowerPoint. I thought it was a neat idea. I thought Dylan's idea was cool. I never thought about hiding pictures and giving prizes to the people who found them. This idea made the people concentrate on the powerpoint more.

I personally think I did good. The comments were better than last year's. I think really deserve a good grade. Even though I was sick for two days, I checked and practiced my presentation again and again. I also edited a lot of things that could be better along the way.
