Presentations are often a lot of work, but certain strategies can make them easier to create and give. This week I discovered the best way to do well while presenting, preparing. Lindsay and I presented on Thursday, but before we could present, there was lots to do. First, we finished analyzing our short stories by finding the symbolism in A Rose for Emily and Once Upon a Time, and decided whether or not Blackie fit the criteria of a good character from The Destructors. Then we made a claim that highlighted what we found out about our stories and our elements of fiction. Finally, Lindsay and I created our What is Literature presentation. The words easily fell into place since we had done so much preparation beforehand. It was easy to explain what was important about characterization and symbolism because we had spent a lot of time reading our our literary texts. The elements of fiction in all of our short stories was clear in our minds since we had analyzed them through close reading. Our big question and claim were clearly stated because we had a table that centered our thoughts to refer to. When it was time to give our presentation, we didn't have to read each slide word for word because we still remembered all the information from our sources. Lindsay and I were confident while presenting because of the preparation we had done. http://www.skillsyouneed.com/present/prepare-presentation.html
