Presentation Reflection

  1. My first interview didn't really affect my presentation. My interview was more about the reasons why people should box, how does it benefit someone, and to find more resources for myself. Whereas my presentation was solely about different types of equipment, their purpose, and cost. Even though the interview didn't really influence the presentation this time, I can now incorporate the interview with the presentation next time. 
  2. The thing that stood out about my presentation was the fact that I didn't thank my audience. It stood out to me because it was an amateur mistake that shouldn't have happened. I knew it was happening and it felt wrong, but I did it anyway. It won't happen again.
  3. Making the presentation under five minutes was tough. I had so much to talk about, but I was forced to speed through it. I couldn't even check for understanding effectively.

Senior Project Presentation 1

Objective: Students will learn the name, purpose, how it can be used and cost of the most essential pieces of equipment in an effective boxing workout.
Procedure:

  1. Introduction. Ask the audience what equipment they know.
  2. Pass out a flier with pictures of the equipment I'm going to talk about. 
  3. Go down the list and explain what each item does, how to use it, and how much it costs. 
  4. Call on random people and ask the selected person what the item does, how to use it, and how much it costs.
  5. Then end the presentation
Check for Understanding: I'm going to pass out fliers with numbered pictures of the items. Then I'll call on random people, give them a number and have them tell me the name, purpose, and cost of the item.

Interview Check

  1. I'm will be interviewing a past student of my trainer. He first learned boxing from his grandfather that was a boxer in the 1920s, then he came here and learned boxing from my current trainer. Now he owns a gym and teaches boxing. His kids are also learning boxing and are training to get into the Olympics. I want to interview him because I think it would be interesting to talk to someone that learned boxing in a nontraditional way and used it to make living.
  2. Additional questions 
  • How did you gain an interest in boxing?
  • Who did you admire when you were boxing?
  • Where did you go to learn more about boxing?
  • What did you read, watch, or listen to learn more about boxing?
  • Would you recommend boxing as a possible career choice? Why or why not?
