Reflections

  • when I was a child, my favorite story is Robinson Crusoe . After i read this story at school, i dreamed that i became the Robinson,and do those advantures in the different places due to those fascinating story details.Also, some interesting images in the book also helps me to uderstand what kind of situation that Robinnson are facing. It’s pretty close to Visual storytelling.
  • In the reading this week, 7 Storytelling Techniques Used by the Most Inspiring TED Presenters, I personally like Richard Turere the most, this is because of that he uses big images to attract audience to focus on his speach.Also, it clearly followed a golden rule of presentation-giving which is to use visuals that supplement your story rather than repeat what has already been said.
  • I think i used visual storytelling a lot, because i really love watching images during a presentation as an audience. But i think i’m not good at speaking, so that i may try my best to improve my presentation skills in the future.
