chapters 3, 9, and 10 reflection

   In this blog I am going to be talking about our group presentation for the themes. In this case, we had to talk about disabilities and how they were related to some of the book chapters. I will be talking about my group, how we interacted with each other and planned our presentation, and the results of our work. All this has been a new experience for all of us, since remote learning started because of the new pandemic coronavirus, and some of us are not too familiar with this online schooling.      First, we started texting in the group chat  about the role of each person and figuring who was going to do each thing in the slides. We divided ourselves into mini groups. The disabilities that we had to talk about were: cognitive disabilities, psychological disabilities, and invisible disabilities. Me and Martina chose invisible disabilities. I did a big research about all the invisible disabilities that exist and found it very interesting to learn all of th...

My goal throughout this blog is to critic all the group presentations and state my personal opinions on how each one did. I personally was a bit timid about the presentation to begin with because I wasn’t well acquainted with anyone in the group. However, come to think of it everyone in the group could not have been more supportive and helpful. We were truly and honestly able to creative a very healthy and productive creative atmosphere and I can honestly say I am very happy with what my group was able to accomplish and the connections we’ve managed to make between us. Group one spoke about intercultural communications. They talked about how important intercultural communications can be in today’s world especially living in the united states where diversity is encouraged. Every culture has its own customs and rules and slang what could be offensive to someone else might not necessarily be offensive to you. I think group one did an excellent job presenting this and made it very clea...

     In this post I will be talking about the presentations that my class did for our speech class. My group was in charged of Chapter 10, so we were the last group of all the groups. I was really happy that I was able to be in a group with some of my friends, especially with Jorge since we are cousins, and we worked together for the presentation. Usually I'm not nervous when presenting so I was just calm during everything and whenever I needed to speak up, I would. Overall I was pretty relaxed with the presentation and It was generally easy to find the information for the presentation.       The first group was sent to present chapter 3, which was about intercultural communication. In my opinion their presentation was good, however of course each presentation has its flaws. I believe a large flaw was that everyone did seperate little seperate presentations instead of one large presentation in which people would just speak one after the other. I do t...

          Hey Guys! As you probably guessed by the title, in todays blog I will be focusing on the presentations taken place in the first couple weeks of June. This summer term I decided to take SPC1017 as an online course. Although the transition has not been easy, I am more than grateful to the professor for putting in her best efforts. A good method she included in her ways to teach the class was by having the students split up into three groups, in each group, a different chapter was assigned. This way, we heard the most important parts of a chapter from students like ourselves and at the same time, the components of speaking infant of people and communicating was taken place. Group 1 was assigned chapter 3, Group 2 chapter 9, and group 3 chapter 10.            First up was Group 1 introducing chapter 3. Their presentation focused on culture and communication, cultural identity, dominant cultures, how some cultures can be differ...

     In this blog I will be talking about the presentations that occurred last week in my speech class. I was so excited to work with my group because I knew a couple people so it was a bit easier for me to talk to other people. I was also excited and nervous before my presentation because I didn’ t know the majority of the class. But when it came to present I saw that it wasn’t as bad as it seemed. It was nice to see the creative liberties each group took when creating their powerpoints and overall the groups did an amazing job.  Group one was the first to present their project. They talked about intercultural communication which is very important in today's world because we are surrounded by people with different cultures and customs and it's good to know how you should communicate with different people. Although, I do feel that they should have only used one powerpoint to save time and they should have condensed the information a bit in order to make the slides ...

               Hello, this blog will be going over our first presentation that my class did for our speech class. All of the students in our class were split into three groups, so that we may all cover a different chapter. Group one went over chapter three Intercultural Communication, group two went over chapter nine Communicating in groups, and last my group went over chapter ten Group leadership and problem solving.  I was really happy that my chapter was about leadership and problem solving because I just got out of the military and leadership plays a very important roll in your military service. Overall, I was pleased with assignment, and I did not find it to be very difficult for our first presentation, hopefully the rest of the semester is the same. As stated above group one presented first and they covered chapter three. They spoke about culture and communication, dominant cultures, co-cultures, and cultural identity,...

               Amanda Rodriguez              In this blog I will share my viewpoint on each of the presentations as well as what I learned from them. Usually I am extremely nervous to speak in front of of the class but since we are all at home and I had my friends in the class with me, I felt more confident in my presentation. I am looking forward to what our professor has in store for the rest of the semester.     The first group spoke about Chapter 3:  intercultural communication. Their presentation consisted of culture communication , dominant cultures, co-cultures, cultural identity and how cultures differ. The United States is a multicultural society therefore, it is imperative that each of us learn how to effectively communicate with different cultures. One small flaw I saw from group 3 were that some slides had paragraphs of writing; it would have been better to incorporate more im...
