We went over the work that was due this class and the work that will be due next week. This is on the assignment sheet, which is also posted at this site in a separate blog post.

Cecelia gave an introduction speech on herself, as her speech partner was in the wrong class.

We welcomed a new student, Kolby, to the class.

Next we went over the "Giving Feedback" paper, also known as "Confronting an Issue."  Didi volunteered to read her steps so that other students could see how to do the paper.We decided this paper would be due on the 17th.

We looked at turnitin to see how many students were able to submit their assignments. The instructor is going to extend deadlines for those who have not yet submitted the introduction.  For the demonstration, students should just proceed to the final draft. She explained the blue bubble and how to check it for feedback.

We had a break, and when we returned, Patrycia scouted out some empty rooms for students to practice their demonstration speech. Students who did not have their outline ready were given computer time to work on their outlines.

At the conclusion of the practice sessions, we went over how to do a citation for an MLA book and an online book.
