Sample Presentation

   So first I want to say that Carrie's presentation was amazing. I think it was the best possible presentation to be the sample. She did a great job. For those of you who don't know about Carrie's project, she learned and preformed slam poetry and spoken word poetry. At the beginning of this project I would have described Carrie as not very outgoing and rather quiet. Now I can tell she is way more confident and sure of who she is. She preformed two poems; one she wrote and one was written by another poet. Her poem "Beautiful"  brought me to tears. I cannot do it justice here, you need to hear her preform it to really understand. Basically she redefines what beauty should be and expresses her outrage at society's ideas and stigmas about plus size women. I think it took so much courage and guts to be the first presentation. So props to you Carrie. Here are some of the notes I took at the presentation and ideas that I got during the presentation.

• maybe use a power point for organization only
• good eye contact is key
• passion!!! let it come through so that your audience feels it as well
• involve your audience
