Presentation Blog

     Bonjour my fellow bloggers!! Comment ça va? How are all of you?! I'm am doing great, just counting down the days until I am out of school for the winter. We got our first snow on Wednesday, it was great. Anyways we have recently created personal logos and we had to do a presentation own front of the class. Mine wasn't to good, I got very nervous and rushed it majorly but I explained well so that's good. Down below i'll tell you what exactly happened. 

       I have learned a lot on presenting in the class, we watched a dos and don'ts video and I didn't really learned more than I already knew. Most of what presenting is don't turn your back, speak clearly, act engaged, have good posture, make eye contact. All that great stuff. It's common sense, don't act like bored in front of a class while presenting, and if your conifentdnt you'll have fun as well as the audience.

   We watched a lot presentations from Ted to become better presenters and I thought it was pretty cool to watch people speak so passional about climate change and GMOs. That stuff is also a passion of mine and I thought it was cool. I did't really like saying what was wrong with them because that isn't very nice and I liked them the way they were. Like people were making fun of a guys hairdo, I don't exactly like to do that. 

       During my presentation my professional appearance was ok, I didn't know that I had to dress up I just wore a funnel, which is nice for me I guess because usually I just wear t-shirts. My hair was also kinda crazy yesterday but that's because I don't have a brush and it gets crazy on the bus. My posture was also good, I stood straight and tall as well and confident, at least I thought I did. My left profile was turned towards the audience so I didn't exactly cheat out all that much (Cheating out is a theater term for facing the audience)  but it was sill better than having my back to the audience. I tried to make a lot of eye contact during my presentation but it was hard because I was very nervous. I don't exactly have a fear of public speaking it just gives me butterflies, I wasn't to bad, I only looked at the wall when I had to collect my thoughts. I didn't walk around all that much because people said it was distracting while we watched the dos and don'ts of presenting so I tried to stay put for most of it. I tried to also make gestures with my hands, but again people said that was distracting and I wanted a good grade. For the most part I stayed put. 

    So now i await my grade for this presentation and now I'm off to draw about global warming(its real) 
Au revoir mes aimes, Goodbye my friends,
