Michel's - BLOG 2

 I think overall, all the presentations were excellent. Each of the groups had different chapters, just as each had various disabilities. The first group, which I was in, presented chapters four, eleven, twelve, thirteen, and fourteen. The exhibition of these chapters was incredible; we showed numerous images and videos. After this, we present two disabilities, Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis. These chapters helped me a lot as I learned how to relate verbally more fluently. Also, in this part, several tips on how to communicate correctly, how to organize a speech, and how to improve communication were discussed. Within these topics, we discuss the importance of keeping the message brief so that it is easier to understand and to keep the audience's attention so that they pay attention to what you are raising. We also show how to develop an introduction, development, and conclusions so that our speech is effective. When we got to the disability part, our group explained what scoliosis and cerebral palsy are. We are talking about the different types of each of these disabilities. We also talk about how these diseases affect humans. For a better understanding, we show images and videos. And on each of the disabilities, we presented an interview, which was TED talks. Both TED talks were somewhat humorous; thus, the message came through clearly, and the audience paid attention to the subject. 

 

Group number two was the next presenting. They talked about chapters fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen. They spoke of the invisible disability; they did a great job exposing. They also talked about diabetes, where they explained what diabetes is and the different types of diabetes that exist. They also talked about the medications used to treat diabetes. They showed numerous videos and photos about the disabilities, to facilitate the understanding of the listeners. Apart from this, they also showed that they are cognitive disabilities and psychological disabilities. This group also used a TED talk as an interview, which I liked a lot as it had very informative content. I think the exhibition was excellent, just a little long, which made the audience pay attention.

 

The last group, number 3, talked about the different types of vision loss, such as cataract, glaucoma, Diabetic retinopathy, and muscle degeneration. This group explained each of these types of vision loss in greater depth. They also showed us what the causes of these diseases are and how to avoid them. They also showed us different ways to cure these diseases. I learned a lot from this exhibition; I found it fantastic and very instructive. The TED talk they used caught my attention, and I think it had very inspirational content. After this part, this group talked about audio loss. Where they explained the different types, there are, and what part of the ear they affect. They showed us a video about the devices used to amplify sounds and make people with this ability to hear. In another of the videos, they showed us people with hearing loss think, who, in many cases, speak in their minds in a language created by themselves. They also showed images, etc.

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...
