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 post a comment on our classroom forum. You will need to sign up for this forum (which we will be using during the year). I suggest using a gmail account, as you can use gmail for your own email and other websites, all with the same address (and it's free). Once you are on the forum, please reply to the question about the Coffee House.

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?

Today, apart from the response, I am giving you free time in the lab to work on anything you choose. Feel free to play a video game or listen to music. Keep talking and chatter to a low volume, but after your post, you are free to relax. Our normal curriculum will continue next week.

HOMEWORK: None.
