I believe my group did a good job organizing our presentation. We went over exactly who was going to say what and when. We also added a few concepts in that connected our topics to a central idea. I believe we could have used some extra rehearsal, to get a smooth flow in the transition between topics.
Our visual aids included pictures. We took pictures of the museum’s artifacts and imported pictures from the internet to aid in our presentation. I believe this amplified our delivery and made our message clearer. Although, I think we could have made it better by separating the the pictures from the text. This way, we could have navigated through each picture while speaking.
I believe I improved my physical form in this delivery as opposed to the last. A big problem I had with the last delivery was pacing back and forth. I had to be aware of myself to keep myself from moving around. This helped in times when I would lose focus, making it easier to quickly glance down at my index cards. In my final speech, I would like to have a very clear flow that the audience can easily follow. I want to get my message across with emotion.
My classmates’ presentations were very interesting to watch. The fact that they were each introducing knowledge made me interested. What kept me more aware was when a person changed their vocal tone to hint that they were genuinely interested. Also, when a person would read directly off an index card, I would have to focus harder to keep up.
