  Hialeah Reflection        First, Hello to whomever comes across this blog. As someone who was born and raised in Miami, I know a lot about this place......or so I thought. After these amazing projects, I learned so much about Hialeah. The past, The present, The future, and the progression overtime. It was a pleasure to see how all the challenging work done by these students paid off. And, how my hard work paid off with the video I had the pleasure of creating with my group.                Group one's main goal was to talk about Hialeah's past. They were able to explain things well, even though there is limited information on Hialeah's past. They were able to work very well with what they could find.  One thing I had no idea about was the Hialeah Park Racetrack. It was established in 1979 but in 2001, it discontinued its racing events following a change in state law that denied it exclusive racing dates, thereby disa...

  Reflection blog 2 To whoever lives in Miami-Dade County, Florida has to know of a city called Hialeah. It is the sixth largest city in Florida with a population 223,109 as of the 2020 census. I would definitely say that Hialeah is one of the cities where there is so much to do and see. Especially when it has so much history that you can learn about. My classmates and I were able to be in groups and be able to show each other the discoveries that we made trying to uncover the past, future, and present.  As we begin to uncover our discoveries I would like to mention that Hialeah is one of the cities that has made so much progress over the years with so much being done with a great community. To anyone who ends up in Hialeah will notice that it is full of people from Cuba. Of course, there are many other nationalities that live there but the major nationality is Cuban. The hispanic communities are what makes Hialeah a place where you want to stop by and drink your coffee in the...

 Reflection Blog 1  My first group of classmates introduced the concept of public speaking. The speaker should take a n audience-centered approach when communicating information to listeners. The speaker should not sound like they are reading off a piece of paper, the speech should have a conversational tone that connects with the audience and makes them focused on what the speaker has to say. The information should be engaging, so that the speaker can grab hold of the audience’s attention. Communication is dependent on the cooperation between the speaker and the audience . The first group talked about tips to improve as a communicator and public speaker. A person delivering a speech should place a strong emphasis on being a good listener and maintaining eye contact with the people in the audience, being organized, and having a confident approach and de meanor when speaking to the audience. All the attributes discussed in the presentation by the f irst group will help me and...
