Evidence of Oral Participation & Growth

My evidence of oral participation is when Mr. Uhrbach video taped our team presentations in the third diplomatic mission. Unfortunately we could not find the actual video as it was lost somewhere in the SSDZ but I am going to review it. In that video I saw that I had a tendency to fidget, specifically I rocked on my feet, played with the bottom of my shirt and ran my fingers through my hair. I also read mainly to the smart board not looking out into the audience. One of my biggest flaws was I sped through what I had to say which made my presentation hard to understand. The fact that Mr.U video taped our presentations really helped me because I could see what I was doing wrong and I feel made me a better presenter when it came to the final presentation. The final presentation is where I got to show off what I had learned about presenting over the year and how I had used that knowledge to grow. I felt the my presenting skills had greatly improved I focussed on, making eye contact and not staring at the board and stopping my fidgeting. And I believe that I greatly improved on both of these and my presentation was better because of it. One thing I feel I still need to work on is talking slower. I could feel myself when I was up there going a million miles an hour at some points. All around I feel I had good participation and I grew tremendously in presenting this year.

I found this did have may GLO's because it was showing how we have grown as a presenter and not the specific presentations.
