report on poster presentation



REPORT ON POSTER PRESENTATION

     On February 2013, my English 1 tutorial group, which was Group 8 were given a task to present a poster presentation based on the short story ‘Lady or The Tiger’ written by Frank Stockton. This task was given to us by our very own Mr Rosli Din himself, our tutor. My partner, Muhammad Hafiz bin Mohd. Saidi and I were given a choice whether to prepare a poster presentation on a mounting board or using slides in Microsoft Powerpoint. We were requested to prepare the settings, synopsis, themes, characters and characteristics of a certain chosen scene in the short story. After that, we were required to relate that scene to other stories or even our life stories that have the similar characteristics to the chosen scene. We were given a duration of about one month to prepare so we came up with many terrific ideas so we decided to share and contribute in our poster. The weekend holiday was coming near so my partner and me went ahead and split the work into two portions, one of it is for me to prepare and another for my partner to prepare. We agreed with each other that we would present our part of the poster when the time comes.
     Our time was up, the day had come for us to present our poster. On 1st April 2013, we were asked to present our poster and we were the second team to present the poster on that day. We did not hesitate though we know that we have done the necessary preparation for this poster presentation. We bravely walked to the front and presented our poster. The scene that we chose was the scene where the young man was standing in the arena and trying to figure out which door he should choose while the king and his princess just looks on. We were actually quite pissed that there were a few other teams that had the same. Anyway, we presented our poster in a proper manner but our tutor was not at all satisfied with it. He wanted us to present a bit more on the relating part and lesser on the synopsis and others. All this while I thought this poster presentation was going to be a piece of cake but it was then that I realized the difficulty of that poster presentation. I would like to say thank you to Mr Rosli Din for giving me this opportunity to improve on my communicative skills. Our presentation held a duration of more than 10 minutes so we were more than satisfied.
