Looking back at our presentation i feel that my group was very organized with the way we went about the speech. We organized the presentation by decade and explained each decade in detail and how it pertains to the next. We could have added more details and more information on the lives of citizens during those decades.

We used the visual aids by having them up as we explained the decade and then pointing to the picture and explaining the relevance to the decade itself. We could have used much more visual aids however.

I felt my eye contact was a little off in this presentation. I had a good amount of hand gestures but i felt i looked at my note cards and the powerpoint to many time.s. By the end of the semester i hope to be able to speak to the audience without constantly looking elsewhere, i got better in the sense of losing the nerves when i get up in front of everyone and my hand gestures.

The qualities that were most influential in keeping my attention was the use of very nice and interesting pictures, the speakers tone and if they were speaking extemporaneously or not., reading straight from the notes or powerpoint can make it feel like it wasn’t real and gets boring.
