Presentations Day #3

So today, the presentations again were pretty well done. The first group, Write like this Book Club did a pretty good job explaining their topic pretty well in the ignite talk. It was kind of hard to keep up with it a little and they didn't seem very prepared as far as the powerpoint presentation goes since it was not timed like an ignite talk. You could kind of tell in their presentation that they needed to rehearse more... but they still effectively explained their book to me. As far as their activity, I think they could have been more engaging, but it was still crazy to see how when you read things more than once, you can get something completely different the second time, like how the poem was read backwards. Overall they did a great job, and I would use this in my class. The second group that went was the Non Fiction Book Club. Their presentation was very well done as well... again just needed a bit more practice. As far as the activity, I think it would be good for all ages. It helps people like me when organizing their thoughts, like the KWL chart. I could also see myself using the KWL chart in a classroom. Maybe not all the time, but to get students to do that on their own. Again, great job.
