Last week
Last weeks performance was amazing. Two great stories was presented by two awesome groups. The first story of the week was The Franklns Tales. Thegroup did a great job. Landon, Elliot, Edward, and Greg really tought the class well. In my mind i think they did almost everything right except for a couple of things, one thing was the fact that early in the prestentation it seemed that the only person in the group that was really talking was Edward (he was on fire). The other thing that needed improvement was the fact that Landon left his group all alone to do the project (but good new is that he ended up winning his match by shooting 33 in 9 holes, word has it that he had 4 birded and and eagles, thats amazng). But other then those things i thing that group did a great job.
The second group was presented by Garrett, Ross, Caroline, and Robert. I think they did great. They had only a couple of things they could have improved on. They presented the Millers tale and did a great job doing it. One thing they could have improved on is there organization, in th middle of the presentation two of the group members started argueing over who would right stuff down on the board. The other thing i think they could have did better was the lenght of there presentation. If they would have taken the presentation another 10 to 15 minutes longer it would have been awesome. The last thing i would recommend is getting the class more involved in the activities. But other then that i think that group had alot of quality thughts. Good Job!!!

Landon, your article is very interesting and informative, but you might want to check your spelling on some of the words lol. Anyways, I like how you came at this in a third person point of view rather than talking through your voice it makes it interesting. A lot of us noticed the thing about Edward talking the most but I’m glad to hear about your golf tournament or we thats really good! I think yalls group did a really good job and showed that yall worked hard, the only problem was the socratic circles, but that was because of the fact that people in the class weren’t prepared not your group. I agree about the organization and variation of the Miller’s tale, it could have been better, but overall both of these groups did very well!
Dude i think we did good on the presentation and not because i spoke or what not but because our group worked. We did alot of work during the week and i think that ended up as a good project. Sure we did encounter speed bumps on the way like you having to leave and greg not coming you that kind of stuff but in the end i think we did good. and i dont no anything about golf except what i play on my phone but good job.
Haha I like how you talked about yourself in the third person. I think you noticed most of everything that really went on. Each group did good. I didn’t even think about it but you were right, the Miller’s group fought about what to do. Not really professional, but they really did good and explained a lot of things.
Im with you our organization was our main flaw. We had alot of group members saying the same things and repeating each other, especially towards the beginning. I guess we didnt practice the actual presentation enough.
