First off, I love prezi. It is so easy to use and much more exciting than power point. I don't think I ever could go back to power point. But even though I loved getting to work on the presentations, I'm not sure I'm revisiting all of the information I should through these presentations. Things like people who talk quietly or people that are hard to follow make learning from the presentations difficult.
Our class time with Death of a Salesman felt too brief, and it left me not knowing some of the big picture points in the play. I also noticed some things that the class didn't notice and I didn't have enough time to either make my case for what I saw and have the class validate my thoughts or contradict them. Really, I just feel that we never wrapped A Death of a Salesman up, and it doesn't sit well with me. At this point, I would not be comfortable using A Death of a Salesman on the AP Exam.
Also, Ceremony needs to stop changing settings, it takes so long to get reacquainted. The stream of consciousness like writing doesn't sit well with me. It's all too random.

ReplyDeleteAgree on all points. I was sad to see Death of a Salesman leave, I felt that we didn't delve into it nearly enough. Definitely with you about Ceremony - I never thought a 250 page book would take so long to read...
