1. What I'm most proud of in my lesson 1 presentation was that I didn't rely on any technology throughout presenting. I went up there and presented everything I knew and discovered because of the research checks we have a week. I felt like I talked about everything I could under the 10 minutes we had. My favorite part of my presentation was my hook activity because I'm so amused by this little girl name Iris Grace. I'm amused of the art she can paint for the age she has. I feel like I did really good on presenting my topic and essential question.
2. The assessment I would give myself would be a solid P. The reason why I think so is because I did everything that was required. My stores and events was backed up with references from my research. I also broke down my essential questions into three different parts (autism, vaccines and links.) I had great stories that I told throughout my presentation. I also met the time requirement. I wouldn't give myself an AE because I don't believe I went above and beyond and the reason for that was because I only did what was required for the P requirement.
3. What worked for me in my lesson 1 presentation was how I broke down my essential question. I feel like the way I broke it down helped me a lot with reaching my time minimum. My essential question is "What is the link between vaccines and autism in children?" I broke it down by first talking about my topic, pediatrics, then I talked about autism then vaccines and then to my conclusion, the links; which is not true because there are no links between vaccines and autism whatsoever. What I think also worked was the way my presentation flowed. I feel like I said everything I needed to say for the class to understand my topic, my essential question and my answers.
4. I can't really say nothing "didn't work" because I met my time and did not go over 10 minutes. I know that when I present I tend to talk really fast; that's one thing I would like to change. Now that I feel more confident talking about my topic to the class I feel more prepared for lesson 2 presentation. The reason why I talk too fast is because I feel anxiety and want to talk about my topic all at once but I know now that all I need to do is slow down and feel calm; and if I keep telling myself that then I'll do better for the next time.
