Hannah's Disability Reflection


            

 

                    Hello! Welcome back to part two of my project reflection. Unlike last time, where I stated how easily our group worked together, we struggled a bit more with the disability project. This is not because the topic was difficult but because the amount of information needed to cover was very large. We had a difficult time splitting up the work in an effective way that would make sense and look organized when presenting. We then all decided that it would be best if we split it up according to task, so everyone chose what they would work on: brochure, poster, or study guide and agenda. Once everyone completed their assigned job, it was sent to the class leaders and we moved on to the PowerPoint. Then we each chose a side, either vision or hearing, there was no discussion or argument when selecting (everyone just chose a side, and it worked well). Following this we made a google slide and split it up, giving it the same amount of slides to each topic (around 16 for hearing and another 16 for vision). Over the course of a few days I noticed that Yuni and I were the only people that have done our part in the PowerPoint, this kind of concerned me but I knew that our group was going to get it done.

 

                    Presenting day came and I was starting to get pretty nervous, I had rehearsed and knew what I was going to say so that calmed me a bit. I always struggled when presenting, sounding like I was on a massage chair is not very professional. My voice always starts shaking either right when I start talking or towards the end. This time I was able to control it more, which surprised me :) I only started shaking towards the very very end and it was minimal! I can only imagine that if this class was in person I would have been quaking, but I really want to slowly desensitize myself to public speaking.

                   My favorite presentation between group 1 and 3 was group 1. Not only because their presentation was talked about in a way that did not lose my attention but because their topic was really interesting to me. Like I stated in the previous review, psychology is very interesting to me and when I took psych we were taught what group 1 went over. Even though you would expect that since I already learned it I would not be paying attention as much, that was not the case. I actually really enjoyed the refresher and really made me want to focus.

 

                             Overall I had lots of fun in this project, not only learning about the blind and deaf but also making something that would be able to spread awareness. Research is very important allowing for ways to help the disabled and ways to make their lives much easier.

For our second presentation, we had to make a brochure, poster, and power point explaining all the different types of disabilities and some disorders that there are. I can honestly say that I never knew this much about all the disabilities that existed. This project informed me so much and it really opened my eyes towards this subject. I enjoyed researching about vision and hearing disabilities and learning how to help people that go through this and try to understand them. Not a lot of people are informed about the different disabilities that there are so in a way I’m grateful I had the opportunity to teach my classmates and they also teach me. The first group that presented had to teach us about mobility and physical impairments, spinal cord disabilities, and head injuries-brain disabilities. One thing that really surprised me that they mentioned was how most spinal cord disabilities occur because of car accidents. I found that to be super scary because we all drive and it can happ...

  Welcome back! This reflection is based on our second speech, which centered around the theme of disabilities. As Sherri explained this speech's main idea and topics, my group excitedly hoped to get visual and hearing disabilities. Ideas of posters and brochures began forming and Yuni, our group leader, had already begun thinking of people she could get interviews with. Lucky for us, Sherri split the disabilities for each group, and we got the exact ones we hoped for!     After we got assigned our chapters and disabilities, the confusion started to settle in. We had all gotten used to the format of our first speech and now that we had more components such as posters,brochures, and study guides, we were all kind of...lost. However, this is the perfect reason to have a group leader. Even though she was probably just as lost as the rest, Yuni begun splitting up the work for this speech. We were split into a visual group and a hearing group. We all hurried to type in the cha...

Davier's Disability Reflection

                  This was our second project and it was about people with different disabilities. It was a really interesting topic to talk about and to find information. Our job was to do a presentation to explain how different disabilities affect the daily life of these people. The disability that my group was working on was hearing and visual disabilities. This project was a little different from the first one because on the first one we just did a PowerPoint. For this one, we not only made a PowerPoint, but also a poster, a brochure, and we interviewed two people, one with hearing disability and another one with a visual disability. We also had to research on the different perspectives the world has versus the United States on disabilities. Also, we did some research on the history behind these disabilities. We listed some of the organizations that are involved to help these people.           ...
