With your partner, 
  1. Give your practice presentation (5-7 minutes)
  2. Give feedback on your partner's presentation (5 minutes)
  3. Switch!
Delivery Discussion:
What do you think is key for good delivery? Maybe the rubric will help you know?

Homework: By the last day of class, 10 December, you will need to complete the following:
  1. A final reflection that responds to any of these questions (or a mix). This should be thoughtful and well-developed. This is an opportunity for you to reflect and for me to get valuable feedback so that the class can improve and so that I can become a better teacher: 
    1. If you were an ESL 111 instructor in the spring, how would you teach the class? What would you focus on, what would you do the same as me, and what would you do differently? 
    2. If you were to take the one most useful thing you have learned in ESL 111 and explain it to a friend, what would you tell them? Why that thing? How would you explain it? 
    3. What was the highlight of ESL 111? Why was this the best part? What was the low of ESL 111 (not counting anything like attendance issues)? Why was this the worst part? What advice would you give future ESL 111 students? 
  1. A final collection of Writer's Help exercises based on any feedback I gave/give you in your Unit 2 and Unit 3 essay. Use this template. You may not use the same exercise that you used before on here.
