Presentation day

I was not expecting that we would have to do any presentation in a composition class, but I guess I was wrong. A presentation can be a bit challenging, especially when you have are timed and you have to go on the first day. I will be resenting on the same subject that I wrote about in my research paper. With all the research and books I have read, I feel very confident to present on front of the whole classroom.
After several presentation on my personal counter, I am still a little anxious before a presentation. But over the time I have developed tricks that help me relax and stay focus on the work I have to do. The first one is preparation I spend time rehearsing in front of a mirror over and over ahead of the presentation. While on the scene, primo I focus on the message that I have to deliver rather than my personal feelings at the moment, telling myself that it is more important than my person. Segundo, I blur my eyes so that everyone looks blurry and I can focus on their eyes or I look over people’s head instead of looking in their eyes. For now I am focusing on the content of the presentation.

  1. I totally did not expect to have to do a presentation in a composition class either! Initially i thought the time limit would be an issue, and that i wouldn't have enough material to fill up 10 minutes, but i was wrong! p.s. You did a really good job!
