Presentation Reflection

1.  In what way did the first interview affect your presentation?  Please explain, be specific and use an example.


The interview had affected my presentation because I had learned the difference between Chicano Psychology and Chicano Sociology. I had planned on speaking about the Chicanos in general, but I learned that sociology tends to look more at the history of the Chicano as a whole, while psych. focuses on the Chicano as one identity. I'm still unsure of what I may lean towards, but for my presentation I talked about the Chicano in the 40's and included both history and identity issues. However, I may not focus so much on the past of the modern Chicano when doing my 2 hour presentation; I'm still unsure. 

2.  What you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?


I thought that my board was quite large enough to be seen and even though it was simply pictures I thought it as creative. I feel like I included a lot of information and hopefully taught people some new things. I liked my bubble diagram and if there were more time I could have showed the audience the difference between what they knew and what they learned. I was planning on dressing like a pachuca and i think that would have stood out, but since we were supposed to announce the dance I decided not to. 


3.  What was the most challenging to do and why?
My throat was dry so it was really hard to speak, and I felt myself getting nervous. It was also very hard to say everything that I wanted in just 5 minutes, so I had to rush when I was talking and that didn't help my throat. I wish I could have had more time to include everything that I wanted to say and to also properly do the activity on the board that I wanted to do.
