Tunis Tunisia Reflection

T
he assignment for a few weeks ago was to make a power point on a city that we have lived in. We were to share it with the whole class after it as shared with our teacher on the computer. This was so he could check it and put it on the smart board when it was our turn. I chose Tunis for the project because at the time it was all over the news and it might be easier to get all the information. I lived there for two and a half years but my dad went a year before and stayed for a year after we left.

On my project I thought I did well on how I included the class by having a short quiz to see if they were paying attention. It did work because they new the answers to almost all the questions asked. This let me know that they were interested and listening to what I had to say. In my project I think I got enough information on each slide. I did five or more bullet points on each information slide. To make my power point more colourful and interesting I tried to pick a picture for every slide I made. To improve any projects or presentations in the future I could have made more information slides and less extra slides that I did not need. I think I should have spread the information out more evenly on the slides in my project. I could have had a different background on each slide. This would make my project more interesting to look at. In my quiz I could have put the answers after the questions came up. This would assure my class mates could see them on the board.

I have learnt from the preparation for my presentation that you have to have all our information before you start making the presentation. It is easier if you have the sours of the information, the pictures and the ULR's for them. It can help you if you also know what order your slides will be in. In addition listening to the presentations of others in my class I have learnt that it can be better if you bring notes. For an example I did not have notes and I a little lost. When doing a presentation you it can be good to evolve the class because it can be fun more fun than just listening. When you are talking to the class about you project it is good to know what you are talking about and you project your voice so people can hear you, even at the back row.

When I performed in the front of the class I go a little quite at some point but that was just my nerves getting the better of me. I could have had notes like I said before. In the note I could off had some information about what is all on the world news about Tunis. I could had been more enthusiastic about the moment. This was because I was shy when I got up in front of the class. I think I would had done much better if I faced my nerves and was more confident.
