TASK
IMPORTANT: This task is a continuation of your video presentation of Task 1: A video report
to present the success of the 3-days ‘WE are FAMILY GETAWAY’.

Write a critical reflection on the process of carrying out the Report Presentation. The
structure of this report presentation follows the basic essay structure of the introduction,
body and concluding paragraphs. Refer to the sample outline below.

Your Reflective Report presentation MUST include the following FIVE criteria and each
criterion should be written in paragraphs between 300 and 350 words:

i) Reflection on the PROCESS; the planning stage of the video, during the recording
of the video and after the video has been recorded. Describe the timeline of
completing the task and the preparation of visual aids. How long did you plan and
record etc.? How important are creativity and innovation in this task? Why do you
say so?
ii) Reflection on the CONTENT (the topic/ issue). Did you manage to refer to the
module for the content? Do you feel that there is/ are differences between writing
a report presentation and presenting a report presentation? During the process of
recording the video report presentation, there might be some instances where
you realised the content could have been organised better, share this experience
too.
iii) Reflection on the CHALLENGES that you faced in this assignment. How did you
overcome your shyness/ lack of confidence in delivering the speech? Did you face

8/14
 any issues with the recording and editing? Share your challenges on the language
process too – vocabulary and grammar in writing and delivering the speech.
Describe well.
iv) Show the video to ONE PERSON and inquire if the Report Presentation is suitable
for a board meeting. If he/she believes the presentation is not suitable, ask for
other suggestions that might help improve the presentation or the presenter
(you). Share this person’s thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of your
presentation and compare them with your own beliefs.
v) Your PERSONAL THOUGHTS about completing this assignment (the video report
presentation and Reflective Report presentation). How do you feel about it?
Describe too, what are the advantages/disadvantages of this assignment. If you
feel the video report presentation recording and/or Reflective Report
presentation is/are not advisable, what would be a better alternative? Explain
your rationales.

REMINDERS:

i. A Reflective Report presentation is writing to evaluate, summarise, analyse, and

reflect on an individual’s journey of some particular actions. It is almost similar to
journal writing.
ii. Plagiarism is a serious offense. Avoid using or claiming other people’s writing in
this assignment.
iii. Refer to the assignment rubrics as a guide to achieving cohesion and coherence.
