My Reflection

No
1.	Description What happened? This meeting, the class activity is book poster presentation. I need to make a book poster before I presented my poster to my friends. The class divided into two groups and two sessions. In the first session, I was a visitor and visited 4 posters that I interested in. And in the second session, I was a presenter and presented my poster to 4 of my friends (as long as I could remember). Then, at the end of the class, the lecturer ordered me and all of the students to choose one book that they interested in and wanted to read till the end of the semester. I didn’t choose my book and also none of my friends did, because my book is too thick which contain 416 pages. So, I chose Dimas’ book because his book is fun contain so many pictures in it and also it has only about 200 pages.
2.	Feeling What were you thinking and feeling? At the beginning, I felt quite happy because I just need to visit my friends’ posters that I interested in. But, in the second session, when I was a presenter I felt worried because I didn’t know how to present it. Also, I just have a little understanding about the book even I already read it before. When my friend one by one came to my poster I felt really worried and nervous that caused my presentation bad. But instead of tried to attract visitors to read my book, and just told them not to read my book. Because, I scared if they chose my book, they have a big task to be done for my book which contains 416 pages.
3.	Evaluation What was good and bad about the experience? This method, which is book poster presentation, is a good method of teaching. Because by doing this method, can encourage me and also all of the students to be brave to speaking in public, convincing others to read their book, encourage students’ creativity because they need to decorate or create a poster as creative as they can, and also it can increase students’ speaking ability. But, unfortunately, there are some bad things happen during the presentation session. For examples, the class is too small, and the temperature of the class is too hot.
4.	Analysis What sense can you make of the situation? I should be more prepared before, like for the poster and the presentation. Because, when I looked at others posters and compared them with my poster, my poster would look like a trash. They created their poster attractively and really eye catching, but mine is too simple and monotone. So, their poster could attract people. And also, I need to be more prepared again for my presentation. Because when people asked me about my book, I just could explain it simply not in detail.
5.	Conclusion What else you could have done? The meeting ended with no one chose my book, even me, this happened because my book wasn’t good enough for them, I’m sorry, I mean my presentation wasn’t good enough for them. So, I and one of my friends, Melly chose Dimas’ book because his book wasn’t containing much text and also, his book is very attractive.
6.	Action Plan If those situations arose again, what would you do? If those situations arose again, like poster presentation I would be more prepared again. Like, I would choose book that very interesting, not only for me but also for my friends, and the most important wasn’t contain too many pages. For the poster, I would create a poster that more eye catching to attract more people. And finally for my presentation, I would practice more than before because I think it would be useless when you have a good book and poster but have a bad presentation, it won’t attract people.

Thanks for coming and happy reading :)
