Let's do the PRESENTATION ..... (Part 1)

Assalamualaikum and happy day for you.

It's so long time we gone do posting thing in this blog,, we are so sorry for that. For started after a long break, we want to discuss about the PRESENTATION. Why? It’s because learn about presentation or talking in front of people it's a very important part. For student the ability to present in front of the class is quite great. How they explain the topic, how to manage the emotional situation like nervous, and last how to be confident. So now for introducing, we want to give one of the “satirical reflection on the presentation” its take from Lee Parker (2012) :

He starts slowly

Like a vintage car

Stuttering into life.

“No microphone, please.”

“Oh, I don’t use those!”

“Can you hear me at the back?”

And then the introduction,

The context, the background.

Slowly winding up,

Pacing back and forth,

Slides flicking past.

So many!

“Ting!”

It’s the five-minute bell.

The panic, the nervous laughter.

Words tumbling out,

Like a stream in flood.

Slides begin flashing by

Like blurred trees

Viewed from a train window.

“Clang!”

It’s the final bell.

Frozen.

Caught in a spotlight,

Like a rabbit in a shooter’s sight.

The appeal to the chair.

The condemned man’s last grasp at life . . .

“More time?”

“Two minutes.”

But it’s all too late.

The train’s left the station.

Tables of fine print race past

Our bewildered eyes,

Their point lost

In a haze of desperation.

Execution looms.

The crowd jeers.

The all too familiar non-ending.

No result.

No conclusion.

No message.

Presentation over!

That’s all for now, for the next part we want to discuss how to be a good present. See you there….
