Coffee House Response!
Congratulations, Freshmen!
You have successfully completed a public performance. I hope you enjoyed the coffee house and will participate in future ones.
Part of our goal this year is for you to get to know your strengths and weaknesses by completing a myriad of assignments, projects, and performances. Self reflection is an important component to learning. As such, please write a comment on:
How you felt you did last night as a performance. If you had to do it over again, what would you do differently? What did you learn about public speaking by performing your writing last night? What surprised you about the performance? Who's performance did you particularly enjoy? Did you notice anything different between the Freshman performances and the other Creative Writing performances? What did your parents say or think about the performance?
Afterward, please continue to practice and write your group slam piece. That's all. No homework. Congratulations again!
