City Reflection
What you believe you did well on the project?
I think I had the right sort of information in my Ethiopia project. I based all my information on Addis Ababa the city I did. I didn't go off topic in any way, except sometimes I have to admit I got so frustrated on the topic of Addis Ababa so I based the information on Ethiopia instead. For example when I told my audience about climate and geography I wasn't lying, it was about Addis and Ethiopia. Another thing I think I did right in my project was the city I choose. I choose a city according to this assignment, because I wanted to choose something that was easy but differently unusual.
What would you improve for future presentations/projects?
I would at least try to change my way of presentating my presentation. I was ok with the the actual work though. I didn't look up at my audience at all, I was reading straight off my notes, my heart was skipping a beat at times, ect. I am more of a quiet person in class. That's also the reason I get nervous when doing a presentation. I would like to give myself a break of myself and try being strong in power presentations.
What did you learn from your preparation (for your presentation) in addition to the presentations of others?
I learned many things about the presentations I listened to as well as my own presentation. This topic helped me take the chance to learn more about other city's and how they developed. The assignment helped my brain understand how all the greatest city's became those city's. One big thing I learned was the main thing that lead these city's to civilization was the geographic location (Where the city is located on the earth). I also learned more detailed things about the certain city's that have been presented, as well as facts I learned from my own city. Like I didn't know the hominid Lucy was first found in Addis Ababa.
What is your analysis of your performance?
I think over all I did okay, although I could've looked up more and held some of my interest on the audience instead of fully on my note cards. I sometimes stumbled over my words although I mostly spoke freely. I thought my work on my slides were alright. All my infomation was mostly based on Addis, but sometimes I got off topic in my presentation and ran into some interesting information about the country Ethiopia instead of Addis Ababa the city.
