Good to get the presentations under way. I liked a lot of what we saw today. Great insight on the naming of the animals in period 2, the fairy tale qualities of the book in period 1, and I learned that from now on if we need a reader in period one, I'll be choosing Gabbe Besse. That girl could make the tax code sound engaging.
Couple key points to remember based on today's presentations.
Eye contact. Seems I need to repeat this over and over again. Look at your audience. This is not a reading; it's a presentation. Know your material well enough to speak to us not read to us.
Emphasize your main point. When you are finished presenting, the class should be able to identify your main idea/theme/central point. Make sure they can by stressing it wholeheartedly.
One thing I can commend is the enthusiasm people are showing. Even the people who are usually shy and quiet are putting forth a little extra effort. They may not be stage ready, but they are trying.
Tomorrow we will wrap up the presentations and look at the preface. We'll also figure out why we are looking at the preface.
See you soon.
