5 min Presentation Reflection

What would you say stood out about your presentation performance and what was most challenging to do and why?

I would say the thing that most stood out most to me about my presentation is that I need to time myself better. The most challenging thing to do was thinking of a topic! That was the most challenging because it is hard to think of something to talk about that I can't repeat in my 2hr b/c everything about cricket is important.

Interview 1 Reflection

What is the most important thing I learned from the interview and why?

The most important thing I learned from the interview is that there are a lot of things you can do for service learning and it is all about just knowing the right people. I learned that I could do lots of volunteering and just helping out a little will get me far. David also helped me realized there are also a lot of other people who I could talk to.

5 Minute Presentation

Rough Draft:

Objective- Students will learn about the position of wicket keeping in cricket.

Procedure-

  1. Introduce myself and my topic (cricket).
  2. Introduce what I am going to talk about in my 5 min presentation (wicket keeping). Which is a position in cricket.
  3. Explain what a wicket keeper is and what they do.
  4. Hand out a paper to each group that has field positions on it and show where the keeper stands.
  5. Show and explain the equipment a wicket keeper uses (helmet, gloves, pads). I will also have pictures of a fully equipped wicket keeper on every group table, so they can see how the keeper looks.
  6. Ask and/or answer students questions about what they learned about wicket keeping.
Check for Understanding- I am going to make sure the audience understands my presentation is by asking or answering questions.

Interview Check

Who are you interviewing and why?
I am interviewing David Sentance for one of my interviews because he is a good coach and he is also the manager for the Hollywood Rebels team, which is the team I play on. He was also works for SCCA(Southern California Cricket Academy) and was one if the selectors for the USACA(United States of America Cricket Association) for the womens team. I believe I can learn a lot from him and is a great person to interview.

What other questions could you ask your interviewer?
a) What suggestions would you give to help me become a better player in cricket?
b) Do you recommend me doing any certain exercises for better training?
