Jessenia Diaz Group Presentation Blog Assignment

HI,WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

 

It's Jess Blog!

WE ALL DID AWESOME IN OUR FIRST SPEECH CLASS PRESENTATION. 

CLASS FIRST ASSIGNMENT!

Group Presentation

Professor Sherri Sinkoff divided the class into three groups and two group leaders. Each group had chapters assigned to be explained using PowerPoint as the source of the presentation. The book used for group presentation :

Book: iSpeak 2013 Edition

After viewing the three groups' presentations.

We all did pretty awesome! 

Even though it was our first presentation, I am thrilled with our effort to make these presentations as straightforward as possible.

A few of us were more nervous than others, which is expected as we all have different personalities. I was the first to start the presentation in group one and the beginning of chapter one. It was highly nerve-racking, but I did better than expected. We all did well. 

Below, you will find each group's assigned chapters, member's names, and the designated chapter covered by each member, followed by a brief description of my perspective on each group and a short chapter explanation.
