Presentations

So far I have been amazed at all the interesting things people have been talking about in their papers. I really like how Bri did a rap about hers. I also really liked Sarah's story, very powerful. And everyone else has brought up many interesting thoughts and ideas that they gained from the class that hadn't even crossed my mind yet. Much like the blogs, every person's paper offers a unique understanding of the class and by being able to hear them, like we are able to read the blogs, allows everyone to experience each person's point of view on the class. Although I dread presentations and always manage to screw mine up some way or another (much like I did today) I think that they are a helpful and fun way to end the class and I am glad to have mine done :-)

Presentations

I really enjoyed the first presentation today. How they each picked different clips from movies to demonstrate their parts from The Four Quartets, I thought that was really interesting and a unique approach. The movies ranged from ones that I have seen to ones that I have heard of but not seen to ones that I have never even heard of and I thought that each of them really captured what was being read at that time. Overall I think they did a really great job. The second group's presentation today was very unique as well. I thought it was awesome how they each wrote their own lines and how they captured the meaning behind their theme. Both groups did a great job today and I really enjoyed them both.

First Group of Presentations

The first day of presentations was highly entertaining. I was in the first group that went, which was the theme World as Myth and Dream. Even though we had a few technical glitches, I think it went pretty well. I was nervous to get up and preform our skit, but I was glad that the class found it amusing as well.
As for the group that did the theme Life as Fiction was amazing. It was so entertaining and well put together. I loved the movie and all the little quirks it had to offer. My favorite part was where they were putting the stones in their mouths, that was really well done. They really set the bar high. And I can't wait to see what everyone else does.
