This morning in class, you and two or three of your classmates will deliver a short presentation on your designated lesson in the Check, Please! starter course. Afterward, time permitting, you will compose a short piece of writing (one paragraph, minimum) that reflects on your group’s presentation. Elements to address include the following:
- the introduction of your group members and their opening remarks
- the brief discussion of one or more points in the lesson
- the close examination of one segment
- the conclusion
- optional element: observations about the relevance of the lessons to your other work in English 1103 and/or your other courses
- poise, eye contact, and the avoidance of filler words
After you complete your reflection of your group’s presentation, 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?
