Presentation - Reflection




Overall, how do you feel the presentation went?
I feel my teams presentation went well and orderly. We all managed to project our voices directly and clearly. I also felt that the research I did on Aztecs along with some stories really interested the audience. I think everyone put enough thought into their presentations, but when it comes to pitching it can be quite challenging because talking infront of people requires a bit of confidence. That all said I feel the presentation overall was successful and have learnt a lot about different cultures and mythological stories.

How long did your team take?
My team managed to do about 20-25 minutes all together on our presentations. 

Was everyone prepared? (comment on all)
I felt that everyone had put enough effort into the research and pitched interesting stories to the audience. I delivered general facts and background knowledge on the Aztec culture and religious views. Joe, Harrison and Corey managed to grab the audiences attention with general questions and facts aswell which proved to be beneficial to captivate the audiences attention and keep them interested.

How did your audience react?
My audience were listening intently and seemed quite interested about the history and tales of the Aztec Culture which made it easier to pitch because I had the audiences attention. The audience were also keen to ask a few questions regarding the architecture related to the Aztecs.

Were they positive? Distracting? Encouraging?
Yes, the audience was positive and quite encouraging because everyone was paying attention making the delivery of my presentation more relaxed. No distractions during my presentation which was a relief.

Comments on you whilst doing the presentation?
Direct and clear. Kept a consitant flow when presenting my pitch and moved from topic to topic.


Were you prepared? Were you nervous?
I usually have a few nerves before I begin my pitch, however once I was going it all came to me and I felt comfortable with what i researched making the delivery of my presentation much easier and fluent. I would say that off the top of my head I was a bit short on full answers which was unfortunate as a fellow class mate asked a question on Aztec architecture that I was unsure of and was a little dissapointed that I did not have an accurate answer for his question.

What can you do in the future to improve this?
Do more research and taken the time to plan my presentation so that there are no awkward pauses during the pitch.

Generally - what did you learn from doing this presentation? What can you take from your research to use in your team game trailer?
I learnt that stories can be passed from generation to generation, and still have an impact on cultures and religions in todays day and age. I learnt quite a lot on the history and facts of different genres, people and there ways.
