Five out of five days this week were spent on our presentations. On Monday and Tuesday Isra and I went over our presentation and Wednesday we presented in front of the class. I really do not enjoy public speaking, I get super nervous and light headed when ever I do it. BUT I thought our presentation went super well and I’m actually proud of myself. Before we went I was kind of freaking out, but when I actually got up there, I thought I was calm and I said everything I needed to say. I did two whole slides completely on my own and conveyed my message pretty well. Overall I thought our presentation delivery was pretty good, but the actual presentation itself I think was really great. We used a lot of pictures to capture the audience's attention and tried to make it as visually pleasing as possible. Isra and I also worked really hard on getting all our information for our stories and answering our big question. Of course we could still improve, but now I know where I am at presenting. There was something I found really interesting about another group's presentation, though it’s not really on topic of The Elements of Fiction. So, Isra and I did Humor for one of our elements. We chose the stories “Rape Fantasies” and “The Drunkard.” Another group of all boys chose the same exact stories as us, but their presentation was much different. The thing I thought was the most different was how they decided to talk about “Rape Fantasies.” I guess the way they spoke about the story, and rape in general, was much more “proper” than how we chose the covered it. And the reason for this is think is because they were all guys reading a story about women talking about rape. Personally, I think women view rape differently than men do. I know sexual assault is a constant worry for all women, but guys don’t really fear that (from my understanding). I don’t know, I just found that kind of interesting.
