MY REFLECTION

Through the past years I have thought these were one of my better presentations. Some things that I have thought I’ve done well at was being confident when I talked, when I put some emotion into my speech and making sentences that make sense. When I did the presentation, I thought I was very confident in myself because I felt very comfortable when I told my speech to everyone. Another reason why I thought I was confident is because I had emotion. I like having lots of emotion in my speech because it can change the whole story from beginning to end. It can make the story happy or sad. I find that if people have good emotions in their speeches and presentations, I find it can be more interesting. But with that I need to be comfortable so when I finished writing my speech, I practiced a lot so when it was my turn, I could be more confident.

In middle school there was a lot of things that I had to figure out and one of the things that I had to learn was how to becoming confident because I didn’t really know how to be confident in front of my peers without being nervous. Some strategies that I would use would be writing my speech. I would say it out loud instead of saying it in my head. I feel that when you say it out loud you can see your errors and where you went wrong but if you say it in your head it’s definitely way harder for me personally. Another way you can practice is to practice in front of your peers, family, grandparents etc and if you can get comfortable with them then I believe you can perform in front of anyone. I would use that strategy whenever I learn a new song so I don’t get nervous or mess up when I do the song. I find that all of these strategies can help you in the future and for me this helped a lot because when I did this presentation I was very confident and was very proud of myself.

There are lots of things I can work on but one of the big things can be editing more on the story. I feel that it’s something that everyone has to work on because if you don’t edit your work you can make mistakes and you won’t get the results the you want. I also think I can work on this part more because sometimes my story can have ongoing boring sentences and can have some simple errors like capitals and periods. But hopefully one day I can have no mistakes in my writing.
