We revised the dates for the group symposium. Next week we will be doing the taped practice sessions in separate rooms(448, 453, and 455).
March 10: Stereotypes and Body Clock
March 13: Peer pressure, Flex-fuel, and Color
The instructor read the full-sentence outlines while the students worked in their small groups on both the upcoming presentation and the personality profile.
Next class: come prepared to present for the practice session. Revise your full-sentence outline to key words on an index card. No more than 50 words on a card. Quotes may have a separate card.

We did a personality profile at the computer lab. Students received four letters as a result of taking the profile. The results will be discussed in small group at the upcoming class on Friday.
We returned from the computer lab to the classroom and the instructor handed back the "I Am" papers. She explained the grading. At a future class, we will go over some of the more common grammatical and writing errors. Students were given time to understand the input from the instructor and she explained some of the marks, such as WDY (wordy), AWK (awkward), etc.
We set up a protocol for checking in the chapter outlines. All chapters are checked in each Tuesday and is for the chapters that were read the previous week. Marian will remind students at each class what is due and when.
Next class:
Bring full-sentence outline and index cards. The instructor will review the full-sentence outline while students are in small group discussion about their "I Am" results and the profile results.
The instructor will show students how to transfer notes to and index card from the full-sentence outline.
Put the four letters from your profile in a search engine and read up on your type. Print out one or two articles on your type and put them in your notebook with the "I Am" paper. This will be used for class discussion on Friday.
We will check in Ch. 8 on Friday, too.
