City Connections

1) What did you do well on the project? 

I did well on my project.  My slides contained alot of information .  I did a good job researching Washington D.C. and using the information that matched each slide title.  I was able to research the information without copying word for word.  I used lots of visuals on my slides to help explain each slide.  I enjoyed researching the images to put on the various slides.

2) What would you improve for future presentations/projects?

My visual powerpoint presentation was strong, but my delivery of the material could have been better.  For future presentations, I need to improve my presentation skills by looking at the audience and having a louder voice.  I should practice at home, before I present to the class and make sure I can pronounce all the words.
 
3) What did you learn about the presentation process that could include your individual preparation in addition to the presentations of others? 

I learned that giving a presentation is not easy.  Even though I had researched the information, giving a speech in front of a class was scary.  I also learned that the powerpoint presentation can be an outline, and that I do not have to write down everyword I am going to say.  I will have to work on this skill.

4) What did you learn from the city presentations of others? 

I learned a great deal about cities around the world.  The presentations opened my eyes to the various natural and man-made diasters that effect the cities we live in.   I started to see the different factors in the establishment and prosperity of a civilization.

5)  How did you meet each of the requirements from the rubric?
 
To be honest, I didn't see a rubric on this project before I started.  I had to use information from my sister.  I am not aware if 6B requirements were different than 6A.  I did try to find something on moodle before starting, but in the end I used my sister's format as a base for my project.

6) What is your analysis of your performance?  

Overall I think I did a good job on my performance.  I was able to show-off my city, highlighting the various facts I researched.  I used the images feature on Google to add to the presentation by showing maps, flags, graphs and photos.
