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.
My Reflection Photo of two men communicating. In my speech class, we were separated into three groups and were delegated a chapter to present to the class. This meant that we would be in charge of teaching the class. This had initially made me nervous because this was something out of the ordinary. In all my college experience, it was always the professor who lectured while I would eventually doze off. However, my spunky professor, Sherri, had flipped the roles and I can honestly say this approach was far more interesting. This picture depicts different languages around the world. My group was in charge of teaching the class chapter three, "Intercultural Communication". I can confidently say that I am grateful for my group. There were no problems and everyone was able to agree on things easily. We all chose to make Ana our group leader and she was able to equally divide the chapter sections for us to create our slides and present. Now, when it came to th...
This was our first class presentation, and we were all split into groups with assigned chapters 3, 9 and 10. Since this was our first time presenting in the class, I was extremely nervous to present because I am very shy and I don't like being the center of attention. Just having the feeling of knowing all my classmates and professor are watching, and analyzing my presentation, was very nerve-racking. I was part of group one, which focused on chapter 3: intercultural communication. After we presented, I felt relieved that I got past the hardest part, which was speaking in front of the class. That was one thing that I did not like, which was present, but since this is a speech class we all are learning how to properly speak in public and overcome our fears. Other than that, I was fascinated by everyone's amazing work and I really enjoyed seeing their creative slides. This project was an opportunity to practice my public speaking...
Thoughts on Presentations In my Speech class for Summer 2021, we were all divided into three groups and were supposed to present a certain chapter; I was in group 1 and in charge of Chapter 3. Before even presenting the chapter to our Speech class I was already nervous and stressed. I had a lot of responsibility being the group leader, I was in charge of giving instructions and answering many questions, that I did not know and made me a bit stressed. I was also afraid that my classmates were not going to do their work and I was going to look bad in front of the professor, however, I was more than surprised; when I checked the PowerPoint and saw that everyone did their respective part, I was very happy and content that I got them to work with. After that, was the anxiety about the presentation and hoping that everything went as planned. Chapter 3 was Intercultural Communication in which I learned a lot while doing my part of the work. Communication is som...
