During Humanities, we have to write a reflction on a presentation we have done which was about the place you call home. For me, its K.L, since I have been living there my whole life. You had to present about the environmental factors, statistical information, and historical factors about KL.
After I presented my powerpoint, I thought I did not do very well at all. But a few days later, I looked at my grade on power school, and I was so relieved. I actually got quite a decent grade on it. The reasons I thought that I would get a bad grade, was because of a few things. I got the statistical information wrong instead of doing KL, I did the whole of Malaysia. But throughout my powerpoint, I stuttered and I didn't really speak very loudly. Now that I think about it, I think I did pretty well on my environmental factors, there aren't many environmental factors in KL though.
What I think I would really help me improve for my future presentations is that I should be a lot more organized and less distracted. I get distracted very very easily. Most of the time during class I was chatting with friends which is really bad. Because it not only doesn't help me but it also doesn't help my friends. I really should get more organiza and plan when I should do things like I could do the environmental factors on one day and the statistical information and graphics for the maps on another and so on and so on. I mostly got my work done at home because I had less distractions around me.
From my presentation, and all others, I believe I have a few things to learn from them. One is, of course, is being prepared, as I said before. Most people like me read off the slides. I think that I should have prepared a script like many others did. Because reading off the slide not only takes your attention away from looking at the audience and making it more interesting for them I just stared at the screen most of the time. From me, I think I should have practiced before-hand more. Also, sometimes it seemed like people were whispering while presenting. So the things I have learned were, being prepared, not reading off of the slides, and maybe to speak a bit LOUDER. But I learned plenty about K.L too, like it's history, rainfall and resources, and the population and average age group.
