After your group presentations this morning, if time permits, you will compose a short reflection. Elements to address in your reflection include the following:
- the introduction of your group members and opening remarks
- the brief discussion of one or more points in the Check, Please! lesson
- the close examination of one segment
- the conclusion
- optional element: observations about the relevance of the lesson to your other work in English 1103 and/or your other courses
- poise, eye contact, and avoidance of filler words
Once you have completed your paragraph, or paragraphs, devoted to your own group’s presentation, you will compose an additional paragraph that addresses a presentation by one of the other groups. Choose the one that stands out the most to you. What element or elements of that presentation made it particularly effective (or not) and why?
If time does not permit the completion of your reflection in class today, you will submit the assignment at the beginning of class on Wednesday, October 25.
Next Up
Wednesday’s class will be devoted to preliminary work for your final essay and annotated bibliography. You will receive a handout with the assignment instructions at the beginning of class.
