Rachel Martin- SPC 2608 Presentation Blog#2 - Hialeah

     

    To begin group number one’s presentation has been phenomenal, this

group did everything they were supposed to do. This particular group excelled in their

media portion of the presentation as well as doing their best in researching information

of the city of Hialeah. The perfect amount of information has been provided about key

details of Hialeah including malls, traffic, transportation, and everything coming to the

future for the old city of hialeah. This group is leaning towards the future development

for Hialeah because it is a really historic city along with chaos, developers and the

higher-ups have taken advantage of these opportunities to improve their city and this

group did an excellent job bringing these futuristic developments to the light allow their

audience to become more intrigued and fascinated with the old city of Hialeah. With this

presentation they are putting the old city back on the map and engaging more people to

do their research on Hialeah, they even talk about future housing developments and

future projects and renovations such as high-ways and bridges as there are currently

22,000 inhabitants in the city, along with their facts being one hundred percent facts

Hialeah is becoming more of a city that contains warehouses and more of a commercial

area rather than being a residential area. The only thing that I would change in this

presentation is for them to add a little more information while they did an amazing job.

The audience would love to hear more of this.

    To continue with group two’s presentation has a lot of images and not

enough information. This group has a lot of before and afters but not supporting details

to go with their topic along with having little to no organization that they did not outline

for better planning. Their informative speaking needed some work as well as adapting to

their audience and being able to allow them to become more engaged with their

presentation and not doze off having more people intrigued by their presentation. This

particular group also did not have a strong beginning or ending to be able to hook their

audience along with leaving their audience wanting to ask questions afterwards. If this

group were to have used their media along with developing their purpose and topic it

would have made for a solid presentation, maybe even flawless. On that note their

media also needs a little bit of work because their pictures used in the presentation

symbolizes certain things about Hialeah but is also the reason why you can tell there is

no organization or planning going on in this presentation. To make this presentation

more complete they would need to do more research and work on their delivery for their

audience and also plan and organize their next presentation a little better. Maybe using

an outline would be more sufficient for them to get the most out of their research in

order to keep audiences engaged and intrigued.

    In group three presentations they were different and took their media

aspect and research to a different level creating a visual presentation in a video format.

In their video they included details using their own voice and slideshows for audio and

visual presentation, they did a great job making a video and including the right context

they needed to make this presentation tolerable for the audience. Their information on

Hialeah is a lot of information on what kind of people live there along with their ethnicity,

race, religion and the kind of schools there are in the city. Since Hialeah is mostly

cubans they mixed in most cuban dishes and religions along with other central american

plates to complete the rest of the population's percentage of culture. This particular

group lacked in giving the audience something to engage in to also keep them invested

in the presentation, they have a good base for information but could use work on their

delivery aspect of this presentation. Their persuasiveness in their presentation is also

lacking, but they used plenty of tools such as distance speaking and media

appearances. This presentation just needs to work on their information along with their

organization and supporting their ideas also while adapting to their audience they have

the platform but they need to use it to the fullest of their ability in order to become

successful in front of an audience to be able to convince them as to why the city of

Hialeah should be a city to talk about.

    To continue in group number four they started off with their media being

very descriptive and demonstrating how historically famous the city of Hialeah is,

which is very important for the audience to visualize such beauty. One thing that I

would change for group four introduction would be for them to include a little bit

of background information on the city of hialeah allowing the audience to read

and take notes on what Hialeah really is. The targeted audience might want to

visit Miami but have never heard of the city of Hialeah forcing them to avoid the

city or just not get to know the facts behind the history of it. Continuing through

the presentation they have done a great job with the media showing the

industries, the type of buildings they have the unique culture they have over there

as it is mainly hispanics and this particular group did and outstanding job dating

the pictures for the audience so they can be able to see what has changed and

what has not changed throughout time. This group lacked in a lot of research

information that was missing from their presentation, they had the correct idea

and information in picture format but not a lot of information being able to be

seen like key details and certain information that pictures won’t justify for it

allowing the presentation to lose it’s value and become a little dull for the

audience. Besides that group number one outdid themselves and came up with a

nice presentation.
