Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

Content:

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

I am most proud of my content in my presentation. The reason is because it was based on quality research and reliable sources. I was able to make my audience understand what a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery was, what a pacemaker and ICD (Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator) does, and the benefits of Cardiac Rehab. People told me after the presentation that they liked my content as well.

2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE       P          AP       CR       NC

     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.

I believe I deserve an AE/E because my hook activity, activity, and content was all cohesive and pertained to my topic fully. I was able to simplify my topic down so that the audience could understand it and indeed they were able to understand it. My content was based on quality research and reliable sources. And for most of presentation content, I had already previously observed and experienced it, so I had a deeper understanding of it and this allowed me to relate to my topic and help me explain it more effectively as well. I had two posters rather than one; one was for the essential question and the second was for my answer #1. I talked about pacemakers and ICDs and I was able to provide the audience the boxes of pacemakers and ICDs as my props which was pretty cool. I was able to relate my content with my mentorship and my answer #1 with my independent component. I spoke loud and clear with confidence. I was enthusiastic about my senior topic.


3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?

My hook activity and content gave my audience a good understanding of the heart.


4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

I would shorten my activity in half. I made my audience do stretches of 20 seconds each rather than 10 seconds. My audience wasn't too fond of overstretching. I would also try to talk more on quality research so that I would be at least 5 minutes over the minimum requirement in my actual final presentation. (Thank you again for the help in my presentation Mrs. Yelverton!)


5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?

Concierge Medicine: This is basically a concept in which the doctor give more time to the patient to improve patient care. On average, Cardiologists only give about 15 minutes per patient. But through concierge medicine, it would become possibly 45 minutes because it would include the counseling of the patient.
