Reflection-presentation on essay features

  Today we have seen peers developing their comprehension towards english in a spectrum of effective media such as Voicethread and iMovie to name a few. Not only have I learnt more about composing an essay that consists of elements such as thesis statement, topic sentences, analysing and more, I've also learnt more on how to use the iMovie program. I do consider myself as someone who's not spontaneous when it comes to information technology and usually give up halfway through learning, but with the help of my partner Pei Qin, she guided me and before I knew it, I was getting the hang of using the iMovie program. And it was fun a process too as I learn and practise while making the presentation together with Pei Qin.

  Working with Pei Qin taught me to value the time and effort of others placed into the work as the results would definitely display the efficiency of all members as an individual's work reflect his/her partners work too hence it would be unfair to take credit for the work of others. I also learnt that I tend to be overbearing all the time hence while working on this presentation, I reflected on those mistakes and tried my best to prevent myself from doing so. I was glad to see the outcome comprising of a balanced teamwork between Pei Qin and I. I felt alleviated that I was able to overcome that overbearing attitude of myself.

Our outcome was short, concise and lighthearted thus it managed to capture the attention of our peers. We also aim to make it a learner-friendly presentation to enhance comprehension and through the responses given by our peers on the rubric marking scheme, our presentation was understandable by everyone and we were happy to achieve this goal. The only thing I wished we could have done was to produce an assessment to test the understanding of our classmates in topic sentences; which was the topic we presented on. Overall, the presentation helped me to understand the components of an essay better and I hope our presentation was able to help others as well.

  1. Excellent. It's heart-warming to see the development of your personal skills alongside the academic. Pei Qin also expressed how much she had learnt from working with you so I think you both benefited a lot from the experience. Well done!
