For our first mini assignment, we were asked to do a presentation on why the earth is similar to a bowl of trifle. I was paired up with Douglas and we decided to do a powerpoint presentation. We found information off the internet and put together a powerpoint and showed it to the class, explaining each slide along the way. The response was fairly good, saying that the powerpoint was informative with diagrams and pictures to back it up.
In my opinion, I think we did a fairly good job at presenting our information, although i think we could have used voiceovers or added movies to the presentation would have spiced up the presentation even more. This way we could attract the viewer's attentions and enable them to recall the info with ease. Also Miss Claire suggested that different colors in slides or words should be used to reinforce what the presentation is about as colors evoke thought and enables better memory retention.
In Ming Yong's and Fadley's presentation, I liked the movie that was also put into the slide. It helped recapped what was in the presentation such as the the components of the layers. Although info was slightly lacking, it was a excellently well put presentation and I would defiantly use the movie idea for my next presentation.
In Praveen and Dimas's presentation, I liked the voiceover parts of the iMovie as it felt like it was some sort of documentary on the National Geographic Channel. Although, diagrams and pictures were not very plentiful in the presentation, it was filled with a lot of info on the layers on the earth. If I were to improve my presentation, I would use the voiceover concept plus extracting the various bits of info from their presentation.
I enjoyed this mini assignment as it showed us the creativity of other people and how we can learn from them to make ours better. Also, it has taught us teamwork and to appreciate what other have done.
