Reflection Writing

Lots of links to share today.  After our rehashing of the difference between active and passive voice, I introduced our next step: The Influential Person Paper.  Here's the link to the assignment.  In addition to explaining what you need to do, the document also includes a rubric.

The big news today was the multi-media aspect of the presentation.  You'll be writing a paper that needs to stand on its own, but in addition you'll be inserting between three-five links to pictures, sources, videos, music, etc., anything that will enhance your presentation and your reader's understanding of the influential person you selected.

In addition you will be videoing yourself reading the paper and clicking on the links through a program called screencastomatic.  I showed you how I did it today in class.  Unfortunately, I seem to be having a little trouble sharing the link with you at this moment. I'll try again later.

Tonight you need to be doing two things.  First, think up a couple of people who you would be interested in writing about.  Identify your influential people.  Second, be sure to complete the reflection of the Defend Your Position paper.  Here is the link to the reflection questions.


In that standard class we also worked on our active and passive voice before seeing some people bring their A game to the presentation.   We saw some good emotion and inflection and passion, but would love to see it on a more consistent basis. We'll get through more tomorrow before I'll have to start docking points for not bringing the passion, confidence, enthusiasm, authenticity in a comforting and captivating way.
