                                                          Chapter Reflection       In our speech class, we were presented with a project in which you were to be put in a group of seven-to-eight people and put together a google slide based on a chapter the group was assigned to teach to the rest of the class. There were three groups:  via GIPHY     Group 1: Chapter 3, Communication and Its Elements   I think this group did very well, not just in having a nice, organized presentation, but it was entertaining and it caught everyone’s attention with its funny but educational videos and examples.

It's just that sometimes I can be apart of a conversation and then all of a sudden I can't really be apart of it because I don’t u...
