Presenting in class

Throughout the semester we have had many times to present in front of the class. In the beginning of the semester everyone seemed to be a little intimidated by their peers in the room, but over  time it got easier. When we first started presenting we all had certain things that we needed to fix over time, our posture, speaking loud and clear, unfolding our arms and opening up to the classroom. Throughout the semester we have learned the importance of opening up to the class, being confident when we speak and being creative with our work and how we present it to the class. On Thursday we were given the opportunity to present in front of the classroom, but this time with different groups than the ones we have already been working with. This gave us the opportunity to work with different people and become comfortable with the different ways that all individuals like to teach. We presented a power-point on the Earth’s Surface, we spoke about topics such as pangea and Alfred Wegener, something I am comfortable with from fieldwork. My group let a power-point with information play as our peers read the information and answered any questions we may have asked them at the end. Once the power-point was over we had a kahoot for the class to participate with. I personally love kahoot, I think it is a great and fun way for individuals to review and answer questions quickly while having fun at the same time.  Working with different people in the classroom helps you learn new strategies it also helps to sit back and watch other groups present as well. Everyone’s creativity throughout these presentations is wonderful, it really keeps the class interested. I think we all learn a lot from one another and we still have more time to learn!
