Reflection(2)

To begin with, due to the inspiration of the topic of Cassie and Vincent, menu or buffet, I came up with another entertaining topic, Rare or Well-Done, to replace our previous topic. I like this new topic very much and it matches the background of the first slide. I think if our whole group who present on the same day all use topics based on food, it will be really interesting and coherent.

Besides, because Emma and I are going to present our PPTs by turns, it will be more difficult to design the arrangement of the PPTs. Fortunately, professor gave us some suggestions and intriguing inspiration. The variety of colors is indeed a good way to divide the respective views. Consequently, I am going to change our PPTs background. Blue represents my point of view, red represents Emma’s points. And at the presentation day, I will wear blue clothes and Emma wears red ones. I believe the actions will definitely make our points stand out and make audience get into our different views easily.

Although we try to make our presentation more interesting by using conversation or short drama, our PPTs are really boring compared with others. Last time, I saw Eva and Vicky took advantage of visual images and it did catch audience’s eye. Tony and Alison used plenty of charts to make their points clearer. I would like to add more pictures and charts to illustrate my points. Most important of all, I don’t want our audience get monotonous when looking at out PPTs and finally lose concentration on our presentation. I want to make our PPTs look more colorful and variable by utilizing more eye-catching charts and figures.

  Moreover, we are going to change the title of each slide. After discussing with Professor Liang, I realized the importance of using comparative titles. I think it is just like a kind of rhetoric or a comparison. For example, Malaysia Case versus U.S. Case and Mother’s Right versus Baby’s Right.

In conclusion, our final and greatest goal is to make our presentation as entertaining as possible by using conversation, drama, game, images, charts and vivid perspectives since the abortion issue is a serious topic which involves human lives, we don’t want audience feel boring or too solemn during the presentation. As a result, we will begin our presentation with a small game and the loser has to pretend as a pregnant person temporarily with a ballon until the end of our presentation. As usual, before presenting PPTs, Emma and I will have a short drama to bring out our topic. And during the presentation, we prepare a surprise in order to bringing up the appearance of the book we used in our annotations. At the end, after listening to our respective points, we will give the loser of the previous game a knife and the loser has to choose whether deliver his or her child. I wish the international students will enjoy our presentation.
