Thursday
Two groups presented today.
After the presentations, the instructor left the classroom while the class discussed whether they wanted to do tests or outlines. The instructor explained how each concept would work, i.e., tests would be viewed as proof of reading; outlines would be the major point from each paragraph. Students decided to do outlines.
Chapters 1-3 do not have to be outlined as the students will prove they have read the chapters through their "I Am Journal" paper, which is upcoming. Students should immediately begin outlining the other chapters. The instructor announced there will be an outline check at next Thursday's class.
To do for next class:
Work on outlines
(more will be posted here later)
Bring Annotated Works Cited (if you have not already handed it in) as we will correct it in class
Monday
Today was the first day for group presentations. Two groups presented, one on multitasking and the other on healthcare systems in other countries.
Thursday we will have two more groups and possibly a third presenting a second time.
Practicing is a requirement for this speech. One does not have to practice with the group. For anyone repeating their presentation, two mp3s of individual practice sessions are required. These must be posted at Blackboard and the instructor must be advised of the posting by email.
Please be sure to save the Schedule of Activities and Assignments to your hard drive. It is located at BlackBoard. I will also send it out as an attachment, as a few students say they are still having technical issues with BlackBoard.
To Do for Next Class:
Practice presentation
Make sure corrections provided by the instructor are performed
