This week we began by working on our presentations, notes and connecting evidence to claims. While working on our prezi, we remembered that last week we learned to add pictures in our prezi instead of a lot of text because all the text could distract the audience. We also made sure to add a lot of quotes from the stories in order to really connect our main points and arguments to the actual short stories that we read. This article state many distractions that presentations commonly have http://www.speakingaboutpresenting.com/audience/6-major-distractions-to-eliminate-in-your-presentations/ . The second thing we did this week was give and listen to the presentations. It was really interesting to hear how everyone else interpreted their elements of fiction. Even the presentations of the same elements that I had were different and some of our opinions differed. After our presentation slot, we were taken in the hall to talk about how we did and what things we needed to work on. One of the things we had to work on was that we really knew what we were talking about in terms of our stories and elements, but it did not come across that way completely. He said we were talking as if everyone in the class had read the same stories we did but in fact they had not. When presenting, I felt that I was strong at not just reading straight off of the presentation and letting the class know what I learned based off what I have read instead of just what we wrote down on the slide.
