Presentations

This week in class we did presentations on the five stages of group development and each group picked a topic that they could show each stage of development in. Some picked moves, some picked TV shows, and my group picked the basketball team to do our presentation on. In our group we found that creating this project well prepared us for our presentation. In reality, getting up in front of a class and explaining each stages is easier said than done. One of our group members was injured and was not able to make it to class in time until after we presented. But, I believe our presentation went really well and each person had knowledge on the stage that they were speaking on even though we were missing a member. We all understood the stages that we spoke on and with that understanding came great explanations. Overall, I feel that we had a great presentation and the experience was a great one to have! It prepares us for the types of presentations we are going to have later in life.

    Hi Bria! I think your group did a great job on your presentation, I was interested to see how you were going to describe the storming, norming and adjourning of a team but I think you guys did a great job and it made perfect sense. It was very interesting, you kept the audience engaged and included great information that was beneficial to understanding more about the team and how they all worked together. Great job!

    Hi Bria. I remember the presentation when you presented it in class today. It was interesting because it was of a particular sports team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. I think it’s very clever and neat that you applied the five stages into a sports team and did a very good job doing that. I don’t think I could’ve done that because it would be a little confusing. I’m glad that you think that you had a successful presentation

    Hey Bria, I agree that it was unfortunate that our group members were not able to make it to the class. I will have to disagree with you on presenting in front of class being difficult. To me presenting in front of a class is usually only tough when I don’t go over what I am supposed to say. Personally I’ve always been a person that speaks well in public. In conclusion, we did have a pretty organized presentation.

    Hi, Bria! Although you had one group member unfortunately not show up to your presentation, your group was able to perform at a level where the class could not tell what his part was that your group had to cover for. It was really nice to see your group use something other than a movie to describe Tuckman’s 5 Stages of Group Development. It was interesting to see a presentation on a group that formed in real life, compared to the other fictional examples given by others in the class.

    I was really surprised when I found out a group was doing a sports team because I wasn't sure how exactly it would be executed since the team wasn't over, but seeing that it was a specific section of the team, I really enjoyed the presentation! Y'all did great!

Improvise

One thing that I always have found extremely interesting is improvisation. I grew up watching comedy with my parents and as I got older I have gone to the “improv” in Los Angeles many times. Improv is truly a great example of collaborating whenever it is done in scenes and groups. After watching Tina Fey’s video about improv, I realized that the techniques are actually very interesting. I loved that she said that in improv you always have to agree. If you do not agree then you ended the scene before it even started. Many things in life we automatically say no to, but improv is beautiful for the reason of always saying yes and running with it. She used the example of saying “wow it is really hot in here” and then her partner in the scene could say “well what did you expect in hell?” I also love that there is no wrong answer in improv. That you could say it is hot in here and envision yourself in an inferno of hell but your partner says “well you do have fifty jackets on, maybe lighten t...

Pepsi Ad - The Controversy

Image
Here is where I got this picture Today in class we discussed meme's and ad's that went viral and brought up an immense amount of attention. The attention for the Pepsi Ad specifically, came back pretty negative and many people were not pleased with this ad whatsoever. This ad went wrong in many ways and it makes me, and plenty of other people, wonder why no one creating the ad realized the issues they were creating. The company tried to mock what seemed to be "similar" to a black lives matter movement. They knew that was relevant in the country right now, yet what they did was romanticise the protests to make them seem like they were one big happy party almost, instead of what they actually are. That being that they are heartfelt and those protesting are definitely not happy, which is the point of them protesting. The point of the protests is the issue with police brutality and how people of color are treated differently in this country than "white people....
