Lesson N˚2 Reflection

1) What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

I am most proud of how exciting my hook activity was to the class and my activity, which was an interactive C-Section surgery. There was a lot of expression from the audience and many people after my presentation went up to me to tell me how much they either enjoyed my hook or the activity I made the class do.

2a)     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

P

2b)     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.

My hook was very attention grabbing and showcased very well what sorts of things I do at my mentorship. The information provided in the slideshow itself answered my essential question and was clear. I also made sure to provide many real life experiences from my mentorship itself and referenced my interviews with my mentors as well. I also provided the sources I had used my presentation. And finally, my activity was definitely the funnest part of the presentation as it made the class give a taste of what happens in my mentorship.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

Having an attention-grabbing and fun hook and activity. It definitely made my presentation stand out as a whole.

4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

I definitely rushed my presentation. I didn't speak very clearly myself as my nervousness got to me. My thoughts were very messy during the presentation so even though I answered my essential question, there were many stumbles and it was very clear I was uncomfortable in front of the class. For lesson two, I plan to really rehearse extensively so I feel less nervous and more comfortable in the topic I am talking about. This would also help me organize my thoughts throughout the presentation and help me to have a more clear presentation for my answer.

5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
My answer #2 would probably be innovations and modern technology in health care really does make an impact in overall patient care.

BLOG N˚11 | Lesson 1 Reflection

1. What are you most proud of in your lesson and why? 

Definitely my hook activity! I got an audience member from the crowd and performed a pretend blood test on them. This was a great hook because the fact I'm using an audience member unexpectedly already sparks interest, but this is a skill that most people wouldn't know how to do unless you worked in a hospital like me! This was a great representation of one of the many things I worked with a lot in mentorship. I thought my hook was creative and one of a kind.

2. What assessment would you give yourself in your lesson? Explain why you earned that grade using evidence from the component contract.

I would give myself a P. My hook activity took a minute longer than stated in the contract, and even then, my hook activity was a bit rushed. My whole presentation in total was a bit rushed. I had large amounts of information and stories to tell the class, yet it was difficult to speak clearly and try to tell a story in detail under eight minutes. Also, I am a bit of a nervous speaker! However, with my personal experience and large amounts of information, I was able to explain to the class my senior project and give a good summary of what the vast field of patient care exactly is!

3. If you could go back, what would you change about your lesson? How can you use that knowledge to give a better lesson two?

I would definitely tell myself to calm down a lot more so I can speak a lot more clearly. And definitely prepare myself more with timing! Timing was probably the major issue in this lesson. In lesson two, I hope to use my time wisely and not rush or drag my information too much!
