We had a great time during our presentation on Wednesday, everyone's presentation was very creative and insightful so I was never bored. All of my classmates explained their part in a way that everyone can understand which shows that we were well prepared and knowledgeable about our topic. I enjoyed every subject, but learning how people from different cultures interact with each other and the role communication plays in different group types were my favorite parts of the presentations.
Group presentation
Before the presentation I was very nervous about talking and presenting my part. However, in our chat group many of my classmates expressed that they were feeling the same way and as we supported each other my anxiety started fading away and I was looking forward to presenting. As I was presenting, I realized that there is no reason to be nervous and enjoyed talking to my classmates and professor. This experience has made me more open to speak in class and I am now looking forward to our next presentation, they are so much fun!

Chapter 3:
Chapter 3 belonged to my group, it was about culture and the interactions between people that come from different cultures. We started our presentation by explaining what is a culture. Culture is the shared values and beliefs among a group of people. Some of the different types of culture that were covered during the presentation include dominant culture, individualistic and collectivist culture, and masculine and feminine cultures. One's culture has a great impact on the interactions they have with different people. For example, a man that comes from a masculine culture expects his son to be dominant and to play sports; while a man from a feminine culture expects his son to assume a certain role regardless of his sex.

Chapter 9:
Chapter 9 was mainly about different group types and their nature and characteristics. Some of the main group types are family, social group, and work group. A family does not necessarily have to be a biological family, adopted children can also be a part of a family. A social group consist of your friends and of people that like spending time with you. A work group is a group of people working together to complete a task, like a presentation or a blog. Another important topic presented ere the characteristics of healthy groups which include developing productive norms, having ethical goals and being interdependent.

Chapter 10:
Chapter 10 was about leadership, which as my classmates explained, is a set of communication functions to encourage and help the other team members. A good leader is a confident and positive person that inspires their peers. An example of a great leader is our team leader, Ana Urquiza. Since the moment she was chosen as our group leader she has always been confident on our abilities and is very helpful.

Overall, I had a great time watching the presentation and learned a lot from them, I am glad to be a part of this class and to work together with amazing people.
Presentations On Wednesday, we did presentations for our Speech and Communication class. Mrs Sherri, our teacher, gave us the opportunity and the challenge of taking her place for a class by corresponding topics to the rest of the students. As a shy guy who has always had stage fright, I was intimidated by the idea and my expectations were not very positive. But it was way easier and interesting than I thought. It was a good approach to what the essence of this class and a nourishing experience for our communicative skills. ...
At the time of starting with the class of speech I came to think that they would only be quick readings with written works without understanding what we were doing. But I was wrong, and I am happy that it was so because we really put into practice the topics explained in class. We use different monotony to carry out each evaluation where it makes me feel more motivated and to know that I am not only reading, I am learning. As we could see in chapter 3 we talked about intercultural communication. This means that we are people from different cultures interacting to improve communication. My group and I completed this chapter and I really liked seeing that although without being able to meet or speak every day, we were able to interact in a good way to carry out this presentation. Each one of us contributed knowledge, concepts and other even experiences of how to do better in each evaluation. Without a doubt I liked the way we present...
