One week of presentations down and one week to go. Okay, one week and an extra day or two after break. I rewrote the schedule on the board, so be sure to check when your new scheduled presentation day is. Remember, you need to be ready to present one day ahead of your scheduled presentation day just in case someone else is ill or unprepared to present for any reason.
I'd say the presentations are going pretty well so far. I like the wide range of topics that were selected. we've heard discussions over everything from dirt to the Korean War to Jerome Bettis. Here are a couple reminders to make sure your presentation is as strong as it needs to be:
Open with a hook
Support your claims with evidence from the text or the film
Be passionate
Use the checklist to be sure you complete everything you are supposed to complete
End with a BANG!
The article analysis today was over a couple detailed but fairly straightforward articles. Lots of sources in each to be sure. Hopefully you clearly identified the purpose and tied your evidence into sources. Did you explain your bias answer? I hope so. We are going to have to take it easy on the author response. Seems there are a lot of Patricia Smith's out there. I'll go easy on that one. Period one finished during class--nice work. Period two lost fifteen minutes due to a meeting and a video. Period three had the same struggle. Periods four and six should have finished. That was the expectation. I'll start looking at them tonight.
That's all for now. See you soon.
