*How to bake Christmas Cookies*
Reflective Comments:
There are mainly 2 points that I would like to reflect on.
The first point is the content of the presentation. I think that I chose a big topic, demonstrating the orders of baking cookies was maybe too big topic for a 5minutes presentation. Therefore, I had to speak fast in order to finish the presentation on time, and some people gave me comments about the speed of the talk, too. I did my best to simplify it, but it was not that detailed.
The second point is that I forgot to preview all the five points of baking (which I regret a lot ); ). I did not forget to preview the points when I was doing rehearsal, so maybe I should of rehearsed more, or maybe I should look at the notes more since I basically present without looking at the notes.
Goals for Future Presentations:
1. Simplify the topic more. Analyze the topic and just take the most important parts of the content, and emphasize (if necessary).
2. Be careful of how fast or slow I talk. Using the speed of the talk effectively. (For example, slowing down the speed in emphasize, or when trying to make the audience think, etc.) Not too fast. If the content is long, make it simple so that I can talk slow.
3. Rehearse more until I feel confident and get the smoothness of the flow. And of curse managing the time.
4. Never forget to preview the points I presented!!

Cute images! I loved the way you were making eyecontacts to the audiences. Seemed to be very relaxed. Very easy to follow the instructions.
ReplyDeleteSuggestions: Sometimes you talked a little bit too fast(just a little though).
As everybody said.. cute slides! Love it! I also loved your "BEP" idea!! Nice way to remember your points. The best thing about your presentation was that you didn't read your draft at all.
ReplyDeleteSuggestions:Maybe you could repeat the important points and tips with more emphasis .

According to myself in that class, it says especially no. If I have to say something, you can emphasize something important more strongly.

Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteHere are some of my notes from the presentation day.
Impressions: Very friendly and reliable voice. Convincing tone. Well-prepared and confident.
Likes: Great photos and easy to understand steps. BEP - nice mnemonic device for the order to put ingredients in. Makes cookie making fun.
Suggestions:
shift the flour -> sift
It is funny -> fun
1. Preview the steps at the start somehow and make those easy to remember?
2. Add photo of Black Eye Peas or at least the text BEP?
3. Mention who the guy in the photo is?
I think this presentation was very well prepared and delivered. Nice work on meeting your goals for speaking skills!
