Group 1 - Overview


My group was in charge of reviewing Chapter 3, then making a presentation to share with the class. Working with my group on our class presentation was a really good experience. We all worked together nicely and helped each other out. Even when we had questions, we figured them out together, and had great teamwork the entire time. It felt good to see our hard work pay off when we presented in class. Everyone when presenting did their part on sharing their side of the chapter. I learned a lot from my group, and I think we made a great team. Our PowerPoint came out perfect with beautiful pictures, and detailed text to showcase highlights and examples from the chapter. Overall, I enjoyed working with them, and it made our class project more enjoyable and successful.


My page from the chapter was about "Culture and Communication" and it expanded on a lot of topics I didn't really know much about. It taught me about the meaning of culture, what comes with it, what values it holds, and the definition of "culture shock" and "intercultural communication". Culture shock is a term used when engaging in a new cultural situation, and intercultural communication refers to the interactions that occur between people whose cultures are so different that communication between them is challenging.


Group 2 & 3 Overview


In my class, there were two other groups besides ours who also did their class presentations on separate chapters. Both groups did really well in their presentation. They seemed very organized and knew their topic inside and out. They had great visuals and explained everything clearly. It was easy to understand what they were talking about, and they engaged the class with interesting pictures and explanations. It was nice to see everyone's efforts, and I think we all learned something from watching each other's presentations. It's clear that everyone put in a lot of work, and it was a valuable experience for all of us.


My Experience


I honestly was very nervous initially enrolling in the class, but this project showed me I could do it. I tend to start stuttering on my words when public speaking, and this class will definitely help me with that. I most likely will continue stuttering while presenting, but as time goes on, I know I'll get better with my speech. This group has done nothing but help me with my questions, also while checking up on the entire group to see if we're all done and ready to present.

Video Summary

Here's a video that describes what my page of the chapter is about.

  In this group assignment, my group was assigned with the topic of paying it forward. Prior to this assignment I had some previous knowledge on the subject but nothing too extensive. I would like to start this blog off by talking about some of the key things I learnt while doing this presentation and also how working in a group  not only can be contributing to the movement  of paying it forward but is beneficial to us students in general. I will also add key things I learnt from the other groups presentation. Paying it forward is a concept and practice rooted in kindness, empathy, and the idea that small acts of goodwill can create a ripple effect of positive change. At its core, paying it forward entails performing an act of kindness for someone without expecting anything in return. The idea is that the recipient of the kindness will, in turn, do something kind for someone else, creating a chain reaction of positive deeds that extend far beyond the initial act. This selfless approach

The beginning was quite smooth as my groupmates, and I were able to establish a common platform for communication via WhatsApp and split each page and topic among ourselves. Someone in the group also had opened a common presentation template for us to insert our slides, which allowed everyone to see who was not ready yet, halfway ready, or

  Group 1 - Pay it Forward  It was educational and proactive to work on this group presentation in my speech communication (SPC) class. Group 1 got the chance to study the concept of "paying it forward" and learn about the significant work done by national organizations such as World Vision and the British Red Cross. My particular responsibility was to highlight these organizations and their outstanding contributions to the pay-it-forward space. As we uncovered these organizations' important work, it not only demonstrated the significant efforts they had made but also brought to light the intriguing dynamics throughout our group. My exploration of what these organizations provide to those in need was a truly eye-opening experience. The first question that arose in our exploration was, "What do these organizations provide for those in need?" World Vision and the British Red Cross provide a broad range of services, including healthcare, education, clean water acce
