Lesson 1 Reflection

1. I am most proud of the reactions I got from the audience during my presentation. Upon asking my hook question, everyone in the room had a response to give. Then, during the presentation, I could see reactions on people's faces. One girl looked horrified at the idea of people eating duck, others appeared confused at terms like "halal," but then I saw their understanding as I explained my topic further. Because the presentation was meant to inform my classmates, my favorite part was seeing the understanding on their faces. I liked my use of cuisine- related vocabulary, as well. I felt it really added to the professionalism of the presentation and my own authority.

2. I think I deserve a P+. I would give myself this grade because I fulfilled all of the requirements on the contract; my lesson plan was typed and submitted, I used multiple mentor and real life references, and in-presentation citations. My presentation was about 9 minutes long, I used a prop, and my introduction was interactive with the audience. Beyond that, my speech was extremely fluid. I went from one topic to another smoothly, including from my introduction into my presentation.

3. The thing that worked best for me was teaching my lesson in chronological order. I described cooking as a process, divided it into six steps, and then broke down and described each step. Using time really helps get points across, so I used that and I think it really made my presentation a good one.

4. If I could go back, I would use more props and possibly find a way to make the lesson more interactive. I'd bring in examples (or at least pictures) of good ingredients and copies of my sources.
