 In today's class, we had the first 3 groups of presenters present about their idea. Three groups were randomly picked, and so they presented. Since my group wasn't picked today, I have a week to change a few things and brush it up based on the few bits of advice that Mr. Paterson said after listening to the presentations from Today's class.  Firstly, I plan to practice more on making eye contact with my audience. When I practice my presentation alone, I don't make eye contact with the "audience" because there is no such audience in the first place.
