Beautiful Things In The World: My City Presentation

In class we made a presentation of the city we call home. We were to include the environmental factors (physical features, and factors), historical factors, statistical information, sources, and graphics. I choose Dhaka, Bangladesh because I was born there, both my parents are from Bangladesh and I've lived there for 5 years. I also visit there a lot because most of my relatives are there. Now I have to reflect on the presentation. We have to explain what we believe we did good on the project, what we would improve in future in our presentation/projects, what did we learn from our presentation, what is our analysis from our presentation?

I think I did good in a few things, like my historical factors slide, that slide had a lot of information on it. I talked about, how Dhaka got its name, when the British ruled, when Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan, how they got their independence, and so on. I had done everything on the criteria, the environmental factors, historical factors, statistical factors, pictures and maps, and site my sources. Although my environmental factors weren't good, but that was because no matter much I searched I couldn't find anything. The only things I put on it was, the water source (ground water), and why it's important to have rivers in Dhaka. That was the only slide I don't think I did good on, but other than that I believe I did pretty good.

In future presentations, I think I should try to be more confident and practice how I'm going to present. When I got up to present my powerpoint, I got nervous and just read off the board. I probably used mono-tone when I presented. I also figeted a lot, like playing with my shirt. The audience (thankfully) might not have noticed that though. So next time I might want to make note cards just incase. I should also make my powerpoint a little more interesting. My powerpoint seemed really simple, and everyone else looked really bored. I should have a more attracting theame.

I reckon I learned a bunch of new things from my presentation and others in my class. I found out that most of Dhaka use ground water. Ground water is water that is collected from underneath the surface of Earth. Also from one of my friends, I learned that when you call a cellphone company or any company, the calls get sent to Bangalore. The main thing I learned from my PowerPoint and most other people is to practice. I mentioned this before, but I learned that if I don't practice I will just read off the board, which will be really boring for everyone, including me! I felt bored when other people presented, but some have moving pictures which were interesting and sort of funny.

Overall, I think I did ok. My information was acceptable, but my presentation was probably really boring. But I think my knowledge pulled it off. I hope got an A though. I should really practiced my presentations before I present them, so I don't bore the audience or myself. My presentation theme was boring too. Mainly, I believe, I achieved all that was there in the criteria. Making this presentation was fun and I learned more things about Dhaka that I didn't know.
