Name of Assignment: Wizards Of Oz Subject: History Of Music Facilitator/Teacher: Mr. Goring
In History of Music, we learned all about the people who helped others get famous/successful. We were all assigned a person, place, or company that helped artists be famous/successful in the music industry. My presentation was on someone named Berry Gordy. I learned that he launched groups that I already knew, for example, The Jackson 5. I had to spend hours researching and finding specific facts about Berry Gordy and his lifetime achievements.
This task was a good example of Communication Skills because after finishing up with the presentation, I had to present it to the whole class. I tried my best to not look at the screen as much as I usually do. I also tried to raise my voice a little more with confidence. I think that I accomplished that part very well. I was pretty happy with the result of this assignment overall.
I am most proud of the oral presentation of this assignment. I feel like I am starting to be more confident with my presenting. I barely had to look at the presentation slides on the TV. I practiced a few times before we had to go up and present the slideshow to the whole class.
The task's difficult part was the researching on Berry Gordy. I don't like to spend that much time on a laptop. It was also kind of hard to find research on Berry Gordy. There were specific facts that we were assigned to look for and it was hard to find those facts. I reworded the questions and ended up finding them after a while.
I can improve this work by putting more detail into my slideshow. I feel like I haven't been putting that much pictures into my slideshows anymore. It looks kind of bland and not that entertaining. Next I make a slideshow, I will keep in mind that I have to add more pictures and details into the presentation.
