IOP Journal #4

I realized that now it is really late so i must do my journal entry before midnight, otherwise this journal entry and the next one will be considered as two journals in one day and that would be going against what mrs. wecker has said. Therefore i am doing it now to get it done and over with. During the IOP presentations today I realized several things.

1. the IOP is not so bad after all

2. It looks hard and it probably is but if you practice then your IOP will result in a positive overall score

3. Be confident in yourself and your presentation in order to prevent yourself from looking extremely nervous and possibly losing points because of stuttering

----> now to the important observations

1. Memorization is key, if not all of what you're saying then at least most of it

2. Different methods of presenting my IOP will not work out for me unfortunately such as.....

- Making paper slips like matt khoo today

- Powerpoint because my computer prevents me from doing such things without wanting to destroy it

- Either lecture or discussion is the best way. I'm leaning towards Lecture

3. It is best if i only compare two of Shu Ting's poem because using several will perhaps confuse class or worse: Me making my presentation messed up everywhere

4. My outline for the IOP will be written in bullet points like how i usually make for history class, however the bullet points will have to be incredibly detailed in order to explain my thesis, ideas well

5. My final analysis will be harsh but truthful. I'm not sure how well i will be able to explain how well or how bad i did without being a bit unrealistic but i will try my best to stick to reality

6. PRACTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
