Chapter Reviews

Alejandra Saenz (1000 words) SPC1017-2227-4848 October 27 th ,2022 Reflection The second blog of the semester is going to be based on the three presentations given by each group based on chapters one through fourteen. Each group was given a theme, and our group was given racial divides and listening. As a group, we decided it was best to use our WhatsApp group chat as a method of communication. In order for us to work efficiently we used Google slides, where we could all edit and input our information individually without hassle. To make our presentation unique we added our own images and videos that correlated with our topic. For my slide, I chose racial divides as my theme to connect it to chapter six. Chapter six is about listening and understanding which I used to correlate the abolition of slavery. I was able to find a video that represented exactly the racial divides going on today in the world. We weren’t able to show the full video since it was an hour long, but the mes

 Daniela Ponce  This time my group was the last group to present and the waiting make me very nervous but I enjoyed listening to everyone's presentations. Each group had two days to present. My group theme was economy and racial divides linked to chapters 1, 2, 6, 7, and 8. We really enjoyed sharing ideas and helping each other in the group. Alejandra and I did chapter 6.

Recently, my speech class did more presentations that we had to write this blog post about! This time we made presentations and brochures on Racial Divides, Economy, Law and Order Protests/Rallies, Immigration, Education, and Healthcare. Each group had two to three days to present their projects along with a chapter review and a submission of two brochures for each of their topics. In my case, another group member and I did our brochures, and we all worked together to split the chapters. We were assigned to chapters one, two, six, seven, and eight and our professor complimented it, saving it for a reference for other classes. This time we began with group three since last time group one went first. This time their topics were Education in the pandemic and funding education. Noelia had said that the USA falls behind in grades compared to other countries but Professor Sinkoff disagreed, and they had a brief conversation about it. Afterwards, a fellow student named Noelia clarified that
