  For our next class speech each group had to select a time period and a changemaker from that era. When the idea of studying changemakers was introduced I felt excited because I knew the assignment would be both interesting and meaningful particularly since it seems like we are living more for ourselves and less as a community in today's society. So learning about people who have worked to improve society for others offered a different viewpoint. A changemaker, in my opinion, is someone who identifies an issue or injustice and acts to bring about constructive change. Changemakers have a lasting impression on their communities and motivate others to make a difference, whether via leadership, creativity, advocacy, or bravery. The first group to present focused on the 1700s. Out of all the time periods, this was the one I was least familiar with, which made it the most interesting and engaging for me. Before beginning their presentation, the group shared an Ai generated video that i...

This presentation project gave our class the opportunity to learn about influential individuals from different periods of history and understand how their actions helped shape the world we live in today. Each group focused on a different era and introduced several people whose leadership, determination, creativity, and dedication allowed them to leave a lasting impact on society. Although every presentation covered a different time period, they all shared a similar message: meaningful change often begins with people who are willing to take action and challenge the world around them. One thing I especially enjoyed throughout the project was seeing the variety of slides, images, videos, and creative presentation styles that each group used to bring their topics to life. The first group explored changemakers from the 1700s. Their presentation provided a strong introduction to the historical foundations of government and political thought. Several important figures were discussed, includin...

 When I think about change makers, I think about people who had the courage to challenge the world around them and make it better. These are individuals who influenced society through their actions, ideas, discoveries, or talents. Throughout history, there have been many people who changed the course of events and inspired future generations. Some of the change makers who stand out to me are Harriet Tubman, John Locke, Benjamin Franklin, Charles Darwin, Nellie Bly, and Michael Jackson. Even though they lived in different times and worked in different fields, they all made a lasting impact on the world. One of the most inspiring change makers to me is Harriet Tubman. What amazes me about her is the incredible courage she showed throughout her life. Harriet Tubman was born into slavery, but she refused to accept that life for herself or for others. After escaping slavery, she returned many times to help other enslaved people gain their freedom through the Underground Railroad. Every ...

  For today’s class, we had the second presentation project where we focused on the leaders or change makers from different eras. Generally, I liked listening to all the presentations since everyone managed to come up with something different and interesting. What is more, the managers performed exceptionally well introducing each group of people and concluding each presentation. In comparison to the first presentation, it is evident that all the groups managed to improve their skills of public speaking, structure, and creativity. The first group discussed change makers of the 1700s. To my mind, this group succeeded in introducing historical personalities as well as in delivering useful background information concerning the era. What impressed me most was the way they used educational videos in their presentation. I have a feeling that some of the videos had been created by artificial intelligence and may be useful in helping people better understand the historical context. More sp...

Briana Sanchez Group 1     Reflection  I can confidently say this presentation has led me to learn a lot about myself and how to handle myself and my emotions during speech. Going into this assignment I knew public speaking was something that made me nervous, but I did not realize how much pressure could affect the way I presented myself until I was actually speaking in front of the class. Even though my topic was the evolving art of public speaking, I felt as though the experience in itself of me speaking publicly for the first time in a while was a teaching experience. It forced me to step outside my comfort zone and adapt quickly under pressure.  I was very impressed by how well and efficiently my classmates did, especially considering the small time frame we had to prepare. Our group only had around fourty-eight hours to put together slides for our visuals, and then the difficult part, the seven minute speech. In my opinion that was the hardest part o...

  On the second day , the class participated in a group presentation project designed to help students become more comfortable with public speaking while also understanding the course material more . It required  the class to split into 4 groups and for us to work together to create a mini PowerPoint presentation based on selected chapters from the textbook. We all had creative control over this presentation, meaning  we could utilize pictures, videos, and other media as long as the primary objective of effectively presenting and teaching the material was met. Which I  can state with confidence that each group did incredibly well.  To start off with the highlights of each group I will be going in order which will be group 1 the one I was assigned to .Our group covered chapters 1, 2, 3, and 5.  Brianna Sanchez  was the first of two speakers in Chapter 1. Her portion of the chapter focused on how public speaking has changed throughout time in response to...
