Civic Proposal Presentation

My group members for the Civic Proposal Presentation were Alexandra Alaniz and Gabriela A. Martinez. I chose to work with them because I had worked with both girls in previous group class assignments.

In this Civic Proposal Presentation, I learned about group work experience, my own performance, and the feedback from my audience.
I prepared for this presentation by practicing on my speech, making flashcards, and trying to memorize the slides I was going to talk about. I contributed with the outline, sources, research, and decorating of the slides.

Regardless, I still feel like I did a good job compared to previous presentations, but it made me realize that I need to greatly improve my communication
