5. Reflection
 I chose to use PowerPoint for my presentation because I find it
very easy to use and I’ve used it numerous times before so I’m
very comfortable with it
 There are a few elements I used in my presentation that I believe
will help in my lessons. I added some color to the presentation
rather than having a plain white one because if it’s all white there
is no fun in that and students will lose interest before the
presentation even begins. I also kept the presentation simple and
to the point. I avoided making it too wordy while outlining all the
important points. The most effective part of my presentation is my
use of funny images. The students will enjoy them and at the
same time they relate to the presentation. From personal
experience I found that in the fun lectures I had I tended to
remember the material better.
