Xavier Perez reflection 2


 Dear Class,

              This second public speaking assignment turned out significantly better in every way. Even though the first one amazed us with well-crafted presentations and the way they were presented, this one is undoubtedly the best we've done as a class. “Elections Matter” was the topic for this presentation, each group spoke of controversial themes surrounding the national vote, among which we can mention education policies, gender equality, immigration, and the election process.

This time, instead of starting with the first group, we began with group 4. I’m very happy to say my group did an awesome job! We worked closely together, helping each other whenever someone faced difficulties in gathering information. something I really appreciated about our presentation was how we included examples that directly corelate to our experiences as students. pact our education costs and career opportunities. This project really taught us how elections, whether at the national level or within school boards, can shape policies that impact us, from tuition fees to available programs and resources. I’m incredibly happy with our progress and the insights we shared on how election outcomes can shape educational opportunities, both today and in our future. 







After our groups presentation, Group 3 gave a great talk on The Electoral Process. The first speaker explained the process very clearly and concisely, like the two main political parties, their beliefs, and how the voting process works. This made it easy for the audience to follow along and grasp the more thorough information that came next. All the speakers in Group 3 did an excellent job of communicating, making their points clear and keeping the presentation flowing smoothly.

Then, Group 2 presented on Gender Equality, and their presentation was impressive. Each speaker focused on a different part of the topic, which added depth. The first two speakers talked about abortion in a balanced way, covering both pro-life and pro-choice views without being controversial and being effective. They also used real-life data and videos to help explain the topic. The other two members focused on women in sports, tracing their journey from early barriers to modern-day achievements. Overall, Group 2 did a fantastic job with their research and presentation.





Although innovative, Group 1's presentation on immigration laws was unclear. The use of statistics was not adequately explained, and the tones of the slides produced visual inconsistencies. Although the panel discussed the immigration policies of the Democratic and Republican parties, it may have looked into the circumstances that shaped those perspectives. The lecture emphasized the importance of having a powerful delivery and a clear structure.

Dear Class: During this first presentation in our “Introduction to Public Speaking” class, I gained new perspectives on the art of delivering speeches. Thanks to the variety of expositions we had, I was able to obtain the required knowledge to know what I can and cannot do while talking to an audience. In this reflection, I will be touching upon those aspects, highlighting key moments of each group whether positive, negative, or in need of improvement, along with my personal experience, and the diverse advice I acquire throughout the process, always keeping in mind the goal of this written reflection, which is nothing more than to reflect together on our performance to improve for the upcoming assignments. via GIPHY Group #1 did a good job;  They were the first coming up which is always challenging, and nerves can play tricks on you. Their topic was a nice introduction to The Art of Public Speaking , so it was a great icebreaker to the topic and the rest of the presentation...

                                    The art of presenting the perfect speech In my entire educational life this into to public speaking class has been the first class to have mt thinking on my toes. This class is very challenging, but you also learn a lot about useful information. As a biology major and getting a minor in business, knowing the different types of speeches and knowing how to properly present them, can become very challenging. The first week of class I learned about different tips and tricks to delivering a presentation, I learned about the background of public speaking and whose creator was, I learned how to manage the anxiety and stress that comes with speaking in front of a large crowd, and I even learned how to properly engage with your audience and feeling comfortable in what you're teaching.     via GIPHY Tips for giving an awesome presentation Group 1 was t...

                    I want to start this reflection by introducing our four groups, the pros and cons that we each learned from our presentations and the recommendations that our team leaders talked about how we did. As we were given our first presentation in class, I think we all did a very great job but there were a few things that might have been done better to help us prepare for future presentations.                        To begin with, group 1 they did a great job with their presentation. Especially being the first to present can be nerve racking. Their topic talked about how to get started on a speech which involved the main parts of public speaking that shows technology, to research, present, and engage with the audience. Observing everyone from the group, I noticed how organized and detailed they presented each of their slides. The first two were shari...
