IOP Journal #3

I think that i can still make it on time for my IOP along with my other homework for other classes such as the OHP for history..... if i work like crazy this week! so, thats good news... however, IOP is still kind of difficult right now..... anyways, I am struggling after having analyzed the poems of Shu Ting that we have not done in class and i discovered that the very last one, the fourth poem is the poem that i had to do for the poetry commentary today in class. I would like to look at that one and compare the two poems, but i don't think that that would work out because for one thing, i don't have the poem that i analyzed in class today, and another is that what i am planning, i'm not sure if it has to do with what i originally planned to do with Shu Ting's poetry. So it would be branching off in a completely different area which would turn my grade into a zero meaning fail. That would not be very good at all. Continuing onto my main point of this journal entry, I am struggling between two options on how i will present my IOP. I was thinking of either doing a class disscussion but i don't know how that will turn out because my voice alone is not all that loud and i don't know if i can keep the questions interesting enough to get the class engaged in the discussion.... so my second and last choice would be to just lecture but i don't know how that will turn out either because i don't think that i can keep up a lecture for 15 minutes about poetry.... maybe i can add in pauses here and there to extend my time like Gavin when he was talking about the "triangle" that you control.... I think that i just might bring in Shu Ting's background by using a few pictures of her if i can find some and talk about the time period that she lived in. I will probably end up doing a speech and if not a discussion and hopefully the class will find my questions interesting enough (I have to make sure that they have a wide range of answers so i will go for broad questions). Hopefully my time limit will be over 10 minutes.
