While reflecting on my group for the informative speech regarding immigration and the tenement museum, I believe we did a pretty well job at delivering a solid, unified presentation that properly introduced the topic and informed the listeners. As I reviewed our recorded video, I believe our group as a whole could of improved our presentation by providing more smooth and strong transitions to go from one topic to the next. Other than that I felt like we did a good job. The only slight issue I saw was that from time to time, some of us had a tendency to look at our flashcards to gather any more information we wanted to tell the listeners. This causes the presentation to seem less professional and it distances the listeners to the presenters. There was also some swaying in our stances when we presented which we should learn to eliminate for future speeches. However, we all had great, supporting information to tell to the listener. We properly backed up our facts with images on the presentation to give the listeners a sense of perception of the time-period.  If I could of changed something now that I had seen our presentation, I would of removed some text from the PowerPoint and incorporated more images. I feel like images are a lot more interesting to the audience now. My own personal delivery I found to be strong and at a good volume. However I would like to get out of the habit of swaying during the presentation for my future speeches. I would also like to improve on giving presentations without the dependence of the flashcards at certain times, which will make the speech look more serious and professional. I believe that everyone did a great job on the presentations, everyone had their own way of getting the audience involved and interested through the use of questions, videos, music, and images. I personally found that the use of music during one presentation was unique and definitely made me more intrigued to listen.
