My City Connection Reflection

     Making the city connection presentation was kind of fun, being able to listen about some countries that you've maybe never even heard of, and explore further in your own was interesting. Things about Singapore for example, and how there was a whole riot started over one little girl. On my presentation I liked the information about the spice trade that I included, because I found that other students who had done the same city did not mention this into much detail as I did. Finally I also thought I found good graphics to go with each slide on my presentation which I think is quite important because I always like to see visuals. Although these are all positive things on and about my presentation I know that I have space for improvement.

     I get nervous very easily, so when it came time for me to present my slide show, I could have done a lot better. I wasn't very loud so not everyone could hear. And when I talked I could of looked at the audience a bit more, I think I was reading and looking of the board a bit too much. Saying all of this, in the end I really just need to improve on my presentation skills. Talking in front of a crowd is not one of my strongest skills so practicing would really help me improve on my overall presentation.

     Lastly I think the preparation was very important, I learned that using key words when searching is really handy and when gathering all your information you should really try to keep every organized so it is very easy to put it all together in the final product.  I also learned things from other presentations as well.

     I saw how other people planed their information, for example instead of answering each question on a separate slide, some people  morphed the two or three together so it flowed smoothly. I also learned (like I said before) interesting facts about different cities in the world. Different facts I never knew and even cities themselves i'd never heard of.

So all in all I think the presentations were fun and I think I did quite well and so did everyone else.
