Hello!
Above are the main board notes for our classes on 11/5. Now here are some additional board notes about organizing your speaking without notes for your first mini-presentation:
Changes with our first topic assignment
Now here are some changes I will propose to our first assignment. I talked a little about these in our classes, but here I will say more.
1. We will do the mini-presentations on your topics on November 19th (11/19). This will give you a little more time to put your ideas together.
2. I have decided that for your projects for the topic you can work on throughout the rest of this semester - the mini-presentation, the first draft of the abstract, the progress presentation on the same topic when you have gathered more research information, plus the final draft of the abstract on the same topic, then the final written paper on the same topic with a final, full presentation, all on the same topic at the end of the semester - you can team up with a pair partner, or in a group of no more than three (3) classmates - and you can make everything a pair or group project.
3. I will make a separate deadline for your first draft abstract on your mini-presentation topic on November 26th (11/26). As I know abstract writing is something you have not done before, you will need some more time to work on it - and if you have teamed up with a class partner, or made a three-person group, it will go easier.
Think about this, and if you would like to work in pairs or teams, let me know. It might make things easier for all of you and make the work go more smoothly.
So note down these new important deadlines:
11/19 - first mini-presentations on own topics for semester (can be done in pairs/groups)
11/26 - first drafts of abstracts of same topics (can be written in pairs/groups)
If you want more review of the list of topic choices on the assignment blogpost from last week on 10/29, go to this link. I have changed the deadlines, and made notes about changing the assignment to pair or group projects, on that 10/29 blogpost.
I will say more on some things in next week's class. So see you then!
How are you? Here are two (2) things: First, the board notes for our classes
on 11/5, and second, some changes to our first assignment I will propose to you.
