Death of a Salesman Presentation

Core Competency Reflection

I know the group is working well together when I see a well put together Power Point presentation on the topic. Our group each did our own slide for our character we talked about. We organized it so we would each talk equally. For Willy and Linda since we only had three people in our group one person had to talk about two characters. However, we made sure the people only talking about one of the characters said more about that character. Our group was good at working together because we communicated with each other the first day we got to work on the presentation.

I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in this presentation. After reading the first act if the play we had to make judgments on the characters and decided what their personality was like. I talked about Biff and his personality. He wants to make his father proud but also doesn’t want to do what his father does. At the end of the act Biff is starting to realize that he does not have to be salesman. He can go into construction and do what he loves.

The Writing Process

When I was writing my book report I had to leave out a lot of details. I found it difficult to take out parts of the book. I wanted to include many details. When I first started my presentation I was nervous. My voice was shaky in the beginning. I did enjoy talking about the initiating incident and rising action.

Core Competency Reflection

My strategies for collecting relevant information for specific tasks include using sticky notes for my book report. It helped me decide which part of the book was important. An example of something I have spent a lot of time learning about is the holocaust. I took Genocide Studies 12 last semester and I have a lot of valuable information about many genocides. I show others that I truly value their contributions by listening to feedback. Two of my friends edited my book report and I changed things around.
