“The most amazing thing is that every single person who sees a movie brings a whole set of unique experiences. Through careful manipulation, you can get everybody to clap at the same time, to hopefully laugh at the same time, and to be afraid at the same time.” - Steven Spielberg
A: From my Lesson 2 presentation, I am most proud of my hook activity. I took a very big risk with the way my activity ran and wasn’t quite sure the way people were going to react. In addition, people were only going to react if the execution of the activity was done properly. I was able to successfully get my timing down and present it in order to achieve the precise reaction I was looking for.
2.)
a.) What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
AE P AP CR NC
A: Personally, I feel very confident in the way my second lesson went and believe I deserve an AE. I honestly think this has probably been one of the best and most confident presentations I’ve done over the course of my four years of I-Poly.
b.) Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
A: Through the component contract, I feel that my lesson altogether was pretty solid. Personally I feel that my research did show a depth of 6 months of knowledge and that it was done in a very professional manner. Like I said, this has probably been the most comfortable and confident I’ve ever been when actually up in front and presenting my information. My answer itself was very clear to the audience and the time in my presentation was used as effectively as possible. I didn’t let a minute go to waste. As for my activity, I think it went fairly well. I think the audience learned effectively from it and that they were able to apply the knowledge acquired from my presentation in order to execute the task at hand. In addition, my body language was pretty good and I was very articulate and passionate about the topic I was presenting.
3.) What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
A: I think my general flow worked very well in my lesson. At the beginning, it was one of my biggest concerns when coming up to present. In addition, I think I had the perfect amount of information to talk about. One of the biggest issues I have with presentations is that I usually have too much to talk about. For this particular presentation, I feel that I relayed the proper amount without feeling that I robbed the audience from further learning and explanation.
4.) What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
A: I think my conclusion could’ve been a little more articulate and summarized. Looking back now, there are a couple of points I wished I put more emphasis on and reiterated in order to get the most solid foundation of understanding for the audience. Having the opportunity to fix it, I would have restated my essential question and remind the audience about my answer in case it wasn’t made clear in the beginning of they had simply just forgotten.
5.) What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
A: I think for my second answer, I want to explore the idea of production value and cinematography. I want to see the ways in which visual stimulants can affect a viewer in their emotional state when watching a film.
