Blog 9: Lesson 1 Reflection

Content:

1. Positive Statement

I am proud of the fact that I was able to articulate some of the more complex ideas clearly in my presentation and do so slowly because I was afraid I would glaze over something without really explaining it and not make time.

2. Questions to Consider
       a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 1 Presentation (self-assessment)?
                                                                        
       AE       P          AP       CR       NC
 
      

       b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 1 component contract.
In terms of professionalism, I don't feel like I lacked in any of the aspects of that category. Although I was a little sick, I managed to speak as loudly and as audible as possible which I think engaged the audience. I also made time which means I was able to condense my content successfully while still making it clear which was also part of the rubric. As for justification of foundation, the research and articles I cited as well as my mentorship reflect the content I presented so I don't feel I was lacking on that area.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 1?

I definitely feel that the research (mostly my mentorship) I had for lesson one aided me in clearly explaining some concepts and examples as well as rehearsing and referencing my sources so I have a clear understanding for the content I explain.
4.  (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 1?

I feel like my introduction and hook activity could have been better. Initially I had trouble coming up with a hook activity or at least one that didn't seem too boring. If I could go back in time, I would have tried to come up with a more engaging and fun hook activity to make my audience more attentive to the rest of my presentation.
