Wrap up and Reflection

I have to say, your presentations were by far the funniest and most entertaining I have seen as a class. Nice work. And while your levels of project successes varied among tribes, I think you all learned about the complexities and possibilities of community outreaches as well as the importance of good communication skills.

Here are the questions I'd like you to answer for the final reflection paper:

1. What techniques did you use to prepare for a public speech when you first came to this class?
2. How did your experiences in this class change or re-enforced the way you prepare for a public speech?
3. What did you learn about communication in your final group project?
4. How did your past experiences in this class help you prepare for the final presentation?
5. What did you like best about the class? What should I change for next semester?
6. Anything else you'd like to say?

Email your reflection paper to me by or before 12:30 p.m. (just after lunch) on Thursday, December 15. Remember, there is no final exam in this class, so don't bother coming to class. Just email this refection to me. 

It was a pleasure getting to know you all. Visit me in the Studio!

Last Day of Class!

Tomorrow is our last day of class, and I'm looking forward to hearing about your experiences reaching out to the community. 

I've pasted below the rubric we designed in class. I also posted a link to the actual Google document on our Facebook group, but thought I'd paste it here as well.

This project is worth 50 points. Here is how those points are distributed.

Tribe (20 points)

• Cohesion
• Time Limit
• Full Group Participation
• Entertainment Value 
• Interaction with Audience 
• Quality of Pictures/Video

Individual (10 points)

• Body Language
• Appearance
• Fluidity of Speech
• Transitions to other speakers

Classmates will evaluate speeches based on how engaged/entertained they were by the presentation. (10 points)

Tribes will also evaluate each other based on the work each tribe member contributed to the project. (10 points)

Remember, after this assignment you have one more reflection due before our exam time is over. I will post the questions on this blog. You need to email me your refection before our exam time is over. We will not meet for our final. 

If you have any questions let me know.
