1. What are some of the challenges that you would need to consider regarding presenting in an online environment? Provide some examples of how you might overcome these challenges.
- Some of the challenges that would need to be considered regarding presenting in an online environment would be the environment itself. Making sure it's well lit, there's no background noise, and it's clear of distractions. Also, a challenge would be to consider the device in which will be recording the speech and making sure it will not be distributed. Some examples of how to overcome these challenges would be finding a quiet place such as a library or a private study room that can leave you in a silent environment with no interruptions. To make sure the device is not distributed it can be placed on "do not disturb" and also be charged to full.
2. Thinking about the final story presentation holistically (and based on the reading), what are some decisions that you plan to make in order to prepare for this culminating assignment? How will you specifically execute these plans to ensure your preparation?
-The decisions that I plan to make in order to prepare for this culminating assignment is to, one, constantly check the rubric to verify I am fulfilling all the requirements. I'll prepare verbally so as to ensure I won't have any unfortunate pauses and get stuck while reading. Thirdly I'll time myself and my letter to make sure it will be within the correct time requirement. I'll execute these plans to ensure my preparation by setting up a schedule with different achievements, according to the rubric, to make sure I get everything done and not feel overwhelmed.
3. What portion of the Final are you excited about? What questions do you still have?
- I'm excited about the idea of writing to my past self about my achievements in the future because it somewhat shows that I really achieved everything I wanted to for myself. It is like I'm sending the message that everything will be okay, but I'm not telling my past self exactly what happened in the past ten years because I want her to learn and grow and the person writing the letter to her now. I don't think I have any questions. :)
4. In watching and grading Professor Brooker's Example (go back to the module to review if you skipped that step) - what feedback and grade would you give this project? What was missing? What would you do differently?
-I would give the project 95%. My feedback is that I feel that you fulfilled 4.5/5 requirements beautifully, but when it comes to language/delivery and content/organization you somewhat stumbled. when you read it felt that you were a bit uncomfortable and not prepared. As you read, you paused and messed up some words, it seemed like it was your first reading it. I think what was missing was preparation because it just didn't seem organized and prepared. What I would do differently would be to memorize some of the letter's content so as to not stumble and look more comfortable while reading.

What are some of the challenges that you would need to consider regarding presenting in an online environment? Provide some examples of how you might overcome these challenges.
The challenge that I would need to consider regarding presenting in an online environment is that I don't know how the audience will react to my presentation, for example, if they agree or disagree with my opinion, or if the audience has a more unique opinion. In contrast, in a face-to-face presentation, you can ask questions during the speech or guess how much the audience agrees with you by looking at their expressions. This can be improved by asking the audience to comment on your video. In this way, through the understanding of the audience's point of view, I can also make my own speech level progress.
Thinking about the final story presentation holistically (and based on the reading), what are some decisions that you plan to make in order to prepare for this culminating assignment? How will you specifically execute these plans to ensure your preparation?
First, I need to read carefully and understand the requirements of the final story presentation. Then, I need to gather more materials, which will help with the final presentation, including pictures and videos. In the end, I will practice this final presentation a lot in order to do my best to make myself perfect in the final presentation.
What portion of the Final are you excited about? What questions do you still have?
I am more excited about planning my educational pathway. Because I think it's the first step to success in life and the closest thing to what I'm living now. Having worked out a specific learning route, my future will be clear. After this plan is completed, the real challenges will just begin, so I am very excited about this part because I attach great importance to it, and I want to make my future path clear through the perfect formulation of this part.
In watching and grading Professor Brooker's Example (go back to the module to review if you skipped that step) - what feedback and grade would you give this project? What was missing? What would you do differently?
I would give this project 95% because you used your voice, volume, and rate of the speech effectively, and you also used proper pauses and pronunciation. The only thing that you need to improve is that you may need more preparation to make your speech more fluent. I will practice my speech a lot so that I can have a good performance at the final presentation.
