 I believe that everybody did a great job given this was our second powerpoint for the course. We all did the best of our abilities, showcasing our said disability and giving video evidence for it. I love how even our small acts can inspire some of us to do these things to a greater extent in the future. As an economics major, I could definitely put powerpoints into use by putting all of my data into slides and presenting it that way. I liked how we all messaged each other to make sure that we were doing our parts correctly and I enjoyed working with Alex. 

When it came to presenting, we were definitely nervous but we tried our best to represent at the best of our abilities. I was nervous when I had started but as I spoke I got the groove and tried to get past it as fast as possible. I believe this class is incredibly important because I need as much public speaking experience as possible to get myself comfortable around others. I’d love to learn all about elevator pitches and public speaking so this was great although I wish this class was in person. People don’t realize how important these classes are until later in their lives when they actually use these skills in the real world.

I enjoyed speaking about cerebral palsy because it was something completely foreign to me before the presentation but after researching and speaking with my group I got a much better understanding of it and I can only thank my group for it as I had been out of the loop until the last day of the presentation. It makes you think that these disabilities are much more common than you’d think and that’s fascinating to me. It makes me grateful to be the way I am, but still appreciative of the people going through this as they must be very brave individuals. All in all, I enjoyed listening to the other groups and their different presenting formats and will definitely keep them in mind when making my next presentation.

Second Blog for Presentation 2 by Jennifer Concepcion

In group 1 we were assigned to present chapters four, eleven, twelve, thirteen, and fourteen. In chapter four we spoke about verbal messages, the relationships they possess, and their meanings. During these chapters we spoke about topic selections and their developments. How we would write and prepare a speech and how we reach the goal we want to obtain while writing our speech. We learned how to organize our speeches and what we should have in our speech, we also spoke about presentational aids such as computers and whiteboards, the benefits we achieve by using presentational aids and how to present our speech in a way that everyone in the audience could understand. In addition to the chapters we had the chance to choose two disabilities for which we wanted to do research on to present information about the disabilities. The two we chose were cerebral palsy and scoliosis. I was able to understand how many people that have cerebral palsy can also have a type of scoliosis. The videos on...

Second Presentation Blog by Raul Pena

  All three presentations were really good with great qualities, you can appreciate that every team did vast research and put a lot of effort into these presentations. Every single one of them brought some new knowledge to me about the disabilities that we were assigned. Our group “Group One” were assigned Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis, two very common types of disabilities Cerebral Palsy affects over 17 million people around the world. There are many types of Cerebral Palsy and it can be from mild to severe paralysis. Although there is no cure for Cerebral Palsy it can be treated to improve life for the people whit this condition. Every case is different and therefore it requires personalized treatment for each case. The TED Talk of Maysoon Zayid present by Manny was instructive and hilarious, she explains the way she perceives her condition whit funny tales of her life. The title of the presentation said all, “I got 99 problems … palsy is just one”. We also talked about scoliosi...

 My experience during the presentations went very well, I learned more than I could if I read the chapters only. The presentations were very detailed in their explanation of each the chapters and their disabilities that were assigned to each group. Group one was assigned chapter four, eleven, twelve, and fourteen. The disabilities they covered were Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis. While covering the chapters I learned and understood more about language and communication skills that help improve your speech patterns to sound more professional. Chapter four was Verbal Messages which talked about language and its meaning which included the definition of language and where the term derives from. Chapter four also talks about how language changes everyday but the way we express our emotions is limited by the accuracy of our language and how vast it is. Chapter eleven was Topic Selection and Development which introduced the rhetorical situation that explained how to plan for a speech and al...
