AEP Reflection 2.1 “Whacky presentations!”

 

Hello readers! Welcome back to another funky reflection! Wow… alright, I think I’ve gotten the hang of calling these posts “reflections”…

(Wow, its been like a million years since I last put a gif!) 

Anyway, I haven’t written a reflection in a while, huh? Well, today it’s a little bit different. I’m writing this just after we had our class, which is honestly pretty new for me. You see, the times that I usually write reflections are on the last day of the week, usually Friday, when we have to submit them. Oddly enough, I felt the urge to write this reflection as soon as our class ended. For the past few AEP classes, we’ve been having Scrabble after Scrabble, and I’ve been trying to get myself together. School has been a little tough, but I think I say that every time. It’s true that it is tough, but I keep realizing by the end of the week that I do eventually get over it, no matter how hard it gets.

So, we were all told the week before this that we had to create a presentation to talk about… It could be about anything, and Miss gave us the choice to choose from our old presentations. I managed to get one from my old class, and we had to talk about a special entrepreneur. In my case, it was about a hijabi entrepreneur. Though frankly, the last time I looked at that presentation was two years ago when I presented it. Seeing it again reminded me of the time when I last presented it and also reminded me that I should actually prepare… though I realized that I really wasn’t prepared at all.

The week before we had to present, Miss was telling us that we had to create presentations. However, she told us that we were going to present it twice: first without her guidance, and second with her guidance. She would teach us in between. And that’s exactly what happened. So, first, we had to present in a way that Miss called “death by presentation.” Basically, she would just sit there and get bored of how bad our presentations were. In fact, I realized that my presentation was so bad that I started to cringe as soon as my class ended. Ha ha ha. Anyway, since I will be presenting a new one soon, with just images, her guidance was super-duper helpful.

It was really inspiring to see how a mess of a presentation could receive advice without sounding too harsh. I know it sounds really cliché, but a lot of teachers in this generation often fail to sound so careful with their words, especially when it comes to giving constructive criticism. I really appreciate that from Miss Disa. Honestly, no matter how long I’ve been studying AP, it still feels fresh and new to me. Thank you so much for your advice, and hopefully, I’ll be able to give a better presentation when the time comes. As of right now, I feel like I have to focus on my studies, but I say that all the time. Ha ha ha.

Anyway, that’s it for now! Our next lesson will be pretty interesting.

Until then, dear reader!!
