Week 7: April 18

This was a good week for getting your midterm presentation thoughts and words organized.... and if they weren't organized yet, .... well, we have one more class before midterm presentations. Good luck!


We looked at 'The Spark, the Change and the Takeway' as aspects of a memorable presentation for listeners.

In a Nutshell

• Your story should contain the spark - the idea, process, or wisdom - that allowed your character to overcome the conflict or obstacle.
• Your story should show the change in your character. What is different about them, the situation, or the environment?
• Your story should leave the listener with a key takeaway message.

Next week: April 25

This will be flat out working on your presentations. I may take some time to introduce you to www.eslbee.com as a resource for your writing.

Then ... May 2 is midterm presentations!

Final Draft - Script

• IF THE FIRST TWO DRAFTS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED ON TIME AND HAVE BEEN CORRECTED, this script is graded as part of the participation grade.
• turn in 2 copies on the May 2 when you make your presentation.
