I really enjoyed the fact that professor Sherri decided to work with Corrine this semester on the theme project. As a person who knows many people who suffer from a disability it's really great professor Sherri decided to make us work on different presentations to bring awareness to many different disabilities. Group 1 presented visual and physical impairment a common disability I'm sure everyone has encountered. particularly I loved Alexandra's slides on farsightedness and nearsightedness. I really didn't know the key differences between those two visual impairments but Alexandra explained both using an image that shows what causes each impairment. in addition, I also enjoy Corrine's interview conducted by Ariel about cerebral palsy. I had a fellow classmate who suffers from cerebral palsy, I didn't really know the name of her disability but through Ariel's slides and Corrine's points on the disability, I now know some things about Cerebral palsy. 









 Group 2 presented Autism spectrum disorder and traumatic brain injuries. Group 2's presentation was very informative and everyone in that group contributed a great amount of work to make the presentation go smoothly. I can honestly say that teamwork is not a foreign concept to group 2. While everyone did great and got their points across, I will say David's interview took the cake. The interview was captivating and informational. David actually got to interview a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist who has worked with both children and adults. I really love the interview, Joseline even left her email and phone number to the class if anyone wants to contact her. 










 For my group, we did deaf and hard of hearing along with specific learning disabilities. We all worked really hard to complete our slides and I believe we each showed good sportsmanship and we each took initiatives that pushed the group to do better and to work effectively to complete the project on time. We each checked over each other's work and gave feedback on what they should add and change. One thing from our presentation I really love was Tamiyah's interview with her uncle. Tamiyah gave us a glimpse of her personal life and showed us what a battle her uncle is facing every day. I really love how our group's interview was a personal one, where maybe someone in the class may feel comfortable to know that they can also interview a close friend or family member who is battling a disability. Then they will see how appreciative of that everyone will be because in professor Sherri's class they are no judgment. Although our team leader Martha had connection issues which caused us to start our presentation a little late than expected, but we had Tamiyah who stepped in and did her best to make the presentation go smoothly even though she had never been the moderator for our group before. I really appreciate all my team members and I know for our next project we all will showcase the same determination and drive to complete yet another project.

Kevin Baez presentation

I want to start off by saying that every group did a amazing job prestenting their topics.I was suprised that every group had enough timed to present that day. Group one was a interesting topic, they spoke about the fundamental of intercultural communication. This topic was already amazing because it speaks about Communication between different cultures, a perfect example is us hispanics speaking Spanish to each other. Group one did a great job presenting fundamental of intercultural communication perfect amount of slides and right amount of information on each slide and the videos gave a great understanding of their topic. Group two had to focus on the importance of communication as a group. this topic was perfect because they are already working in a group so it makes it easier for them to write about. communication within a group is very important because if you dont communicate in the group nothing will get done correctly. Group two did a great job presenting this topic nothing...

  I found this class very interesting. On the first day of class, the professor already gave us work to do. She separated us into three groups to do a presentation about the chapters of the book. In the beginning, I thought it was not going to be easy because normally people do not have communication skills and with everything online, some people were going to have bad internet or would not be able to completely express themselves through the computer. My group found ways so everybody could communicate. First, we created a What's app group chat where most of the people from the group could join. Our group leader made some group chat calls, people like it that way and they found a way to get the work done. I couldn't join the call since I was at work. People talked the whole through the chat to make sure everybody was doing their work. Once I got out of work, I started working on my part, my partner which I was supposed to work with. Was not in the group chat, I had to text her ...

Rachel's Theme Project 2

I wanted to first say thank you to my wonderful classmates and professor Sinkoff. Group 1 talked about Visual and physical impairments. I really learned a lot about the presentation they did as a whole. Each member of the group addressed a different kind of impairment with detailed information, photographs, and videos. That day I was so sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep but when they were presenting, I was wide awake and was engaging to they information they gave. The slides also made me say “wow they did good”. I learned so much about Blurred vision, epilepsy, loss of peripheral vision, etc. they did amazing, and I want to thank them for choosing that topic and giving information about it. Group 2’s presentation was interesting and well planned out. Like I said I learned something new every time we’re doing a theme presentation even if this was our second one, but I learned a lot and I wanted to thank them for sharing. I myself didn’t know how autism and traumatic brain injury wer...
