Everyone has role models, and mine is Leslie Knope. Leslie is confident and charming, and these characteristics are some that make a good presenter. This past week in class, all students have been working on presentations about different elements of fiction. While presenting, we were urged to use examples and quotes that would enthrall the audience, leave them wanting more, instead of having them sit like stones and do nothing but listen. Presenting needs to captivating and exciting, and when the presenter is interested in their presentation, it becomes easier for both the audience and the speaker. During my presentation this week, I tried to channel my inner Leslie Knope. I tried to be interesting and and thorough and knowledgable. Though I know that I did not completely blow away my audience with my presentation, I now have experience so that I will be able to add elements to what I'm presenting that will make it extra special. Something that I was going to use in my presentation, but forgot about it when the time came, is a piece from my favorite composer. The song is Summer, written and performed by Joe Hisaishi, the composer himself. The reason for choosing this piece to go with my presentation is because it reminds me of the feeling that I get when I think of fantasy. Full of endless possibility and thriving with emotion, Summer is a piece that never stops moving, much like fantasy. It continues with a lighthearted intensity that leaves the audience yearning for more, as presenting should. If you would like to give this piece a listen, the link can be found below.
