MemoirIn English we did a writing paper that took the span of four weeks. Our first paper was us discovering how to write a memoir. A memoir is an authors description of a time or period in their life that helped influence their character development. This type of writing can be similar to an autobiography, but more centralized. I wrote about my culmination and how it was an emotional transition from a community that helped build my character. When we were writing our drafts, we learned different mechanics that helped us add or take out sections of our papers. During the last week of our editing and revision, we were asked to have our peers edit them. After our final edits we were required to turn them in and wait to receive our final grade for all four drafts.
ted talkFor our Ted Talk we were given the opportunity to create a presentation for a topic we are passionate about. For us to research and understand the desired topic before expressing it in a creative, original and well developed manner in front of our class. We were to have a presentation to give visual appeal to our audience for an appropriate amount of time. We created an outline/script to help us remember and remain well-focused throughout out performance. During the weeks before the Ted Talk our class experienced time to rehearse and take notes on cards to memorize our presentation so we would be professional when the day came.
