My goals for presenation 2

1. Preparation/Rehearsal
Hopefully I would be able to rehearsal more with my friends in order to give a concise and smoother presenation the last one. I would use the slides I have made last time on "how to wisely shop", so i dont have to make the slides, therefore, i would focus on making my notes easy to understand and interesting to listen to.
2. Content / Overall Impression
I am going to talk about how to shop wisely, one because i love shopping, and two, this presentation is a reminder for myself, since sometimes I tend to buy too many things... But i hope i can talk about this topic with enthusiasm and make it interesting for the audience.
3. Voice
I want to speak at a speed so that everyone would be able to listen to. Also I want to speak loud and clear.
4. Body Language
I dont want to overuse it, because my last presentation, i felt like i had unncessary moves that should be eliminated when giving a presentation.
5. Visuals
I will make a powerpoint and use effective pictures in order for the audience to remember my points and learn something from it.

ACTP Analysis





Attention Getter- done very well. She first says the word that relates to her main point in this presentation which the word is "conatagious". First she makes us think about this word then starts explaining what she means by "contagious" and how this relates to her life story teaching in India.

Credibility- not included

Topic- It is clearly presented. She tells in the introduction that she is going to talk about how her Riverside School in India teaches kids life's most valuable lesson: "I can."

Preview of Points- She does present some preview points by asking questions to the audience once her former topic has finished. I thought the presentation was concise and well structured.

1. Successfully achieved purpose / main message?

Reflection: My goal was to make my audience acknowledge the fact that gender discrimination is not an issue that is far related from us. I especially wanted to emphasize that all people should be treated equally no matter what gender they are, by making conncections with my personal experiences. I think I was able to send out my message.




Ideas for Improvement: My conclusion was not strong enough, I should have prepared exactly what to say for my wrap up, but I was not able to, and I think I could have done a lot better for my conclusion.





2. Use of voice? (rhythm, emphasis, pausing, variation)

Reflection: My goal was to calm myself down and speak slowly, since I tend to speak very fast when I am nervous. I also wanted to make as much eye contact as I can with the audience. My voice was slower than usual, but I could have slowed it down a little bit more. I was not able to make much eye contact. Bummer.


Ideas for Improvement: I want to be able to speak in a more flat and serious tone, when I am talking about a serious topic. Because I am nervous, I tend to smile throughout the whole presentation, which seems quite peculiar when you are talking about serious issues.

3. Use of body language? (posture, gestures, eyes, face)

Reflection: My goal was to efficiently use body language in order to strongly convey my message to the listeners. However, I wanted to be carefull not to overuse it. I thought I used body gestures a little bit too much, but I stayed at one spot throughout the presenatation.

Ideas for Improvement: For my next presentations, I want to avoid using too much body languages. Also I want to move around a little bit more to catch the audiences' attention.

4. Use of visuals?

Reflection:I dont really know if my visuals were effiecient, but I do not think it was great. I tried to use graphs and pictures, but I might had too much slides for a 3 min presentation.



Ideas for Improvement: I could have used less slides and pictures that have great impact.


5. Preparation & rehearsal process?

Reflection: I prepared for this presentation by brainstorming my ideas and making a powerpoint, and then presenting in front of the classmates and getting feedbacks from them.I did make a note for the presenation, but it was all written in sentences, so it was not very useful in a short period presenatation. I spoke better at the rehearsal, so hopefully next time I will be able to do as well as the rehearsal.

Ideas for Improvement: For the next presentation, I want to make my notes in a bullet point format, so if I forget what I want to talk about, I would be able to look at my notes and get onto the topic quickly. Also, I think I should have practiced more in front of other people.

Goals for Presentation

Purpose - To talk about something that I am passionate about. Send a message. To use the video for goal setting of presentation skill improvement.
Audience - My 9 AEP students at ICU.
Logistics - 3 min. limit + short Q&A, computer, project (I will use Google Presentations because I want to easily post it on my blog. No handouts. Three slides?
