Today was a whirlwind of day, but hugely helpful. The gift of time is truly a precious gift to have been given. Although I arrived in of the middle of the day, I was able to get in the grove and use my time effectively. More work has been done on my narrative, just one last nagging question to be answered and then I will submitt it. Brainstorming for the argumentative writing is all complete as well. Tonight I will work to begin that piece.
Our group is really starting to gel. When we first began meeting, I couldn't imagine how this was all going to come together, but working with these two ladies is the second gift of the day. The three of us have worked exceptionally hard to find the heartbeat of our presentation and let that be our guide as we carefully choose our activities for the group and work toward pulling all the potential pieces of our presentation. As a group we evaluate, critique, wrestle with, and modify what needs to be done. I couldn't be more thrilled with how the process is going, the heart of the group and the work that has been put into the final outcome. Lastly, I have to say that the group has been empathetic to my plight and totally supportive. Trying to be proactive, I have worked ahead to prepare things ahead of time as not to disappoint my team. Thank you Rich and Brend for letting me stay! I am totally loving this class!!!!
Hi Shawn,
ReplyDeleteThe last thing you're doing is disappointing anyone. I think most of us would have packed it in!!! I'm so glad you're here and that you're getting so much out of this experience. I think that "heartbeat" metaphor is going to stick with the rest of the class!
I'm glad your group is working well. Deanna is a great coach and the three of you who are working together seem to be perfect! Please let us know what you need in order to get through the next couple of days. We'll help with whatever you need.
Rich
