Public speaking

I have learnt many things about public speaking this term. For example, when you are trying to get your audience’s attention you have to make what you are saying interesting or else, they will stop paying attention and stare off into space. When people are Presenting you have to be a good audience member by paying attention or at least looking like it, staying quite until the end of the presentation at which you should give some kind or supportive words. If you want to get people’s attention while you speak, I find it helps if you look confident and make sure your words are loud and clear. I have picked up a few things about public speaking over this term in English 9.

Collaboration Core competency Reflection

I show others that I truly value their contributions by listening to their ideas and using them in the project to improve it and make it better.

Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members include, I think about how much work my teammates are capable of doing and, is the amount of work given fair.

I show that I value feedback from others in my group by listening to them and changing my ideas to suit their feedback.

I know the group is working well together when I see new ideas being created and active work being done. I also know when I hear people effectively communicating with each other.

My goal

I can feel comfortable when speaking in front of people I don’t know.

I want to be able to do this so that I can speak well in front of groups I need to talk to.
