My Project
Public Speaking
I felt a little nervous at the beginning when I was going to present this mutated animal to the class. As I started presenting with my group member, I felt more comfortable. I learned that it’s normal to feel intense when you have to speak in public. A good speaker uses a good voice tune, proper body language including hand movements and a smile. A good speech has proper punctuation, includes formal words and putting capital letters at the beginning of sentences. A good audience member is quiet and respectful to the presenter, asks relevant questions and doesn’t interrupt the presenter.
Collaborating Core Competency Reflection
Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members include giving them tasks based on their interests and skills.
I know the group is working well together when I hear/see my group members are working hard.
If the group is not productive, we can ask for help to get things moving in the right direction.
If I notice my group members are struggling with our project, that’s a sign that my group needs help, and we can get support from the teacher.
Next time, I can work a little harder and ask my group members for their skills and interests when dividing the tasks.
