I'm a little computer incompetent for things that aren't related to Microsoft, so I just put my IOC on my google drive and hopefully you'll have access to it because here's the link: Shaunaci's IOC (just download it and it should work...I promise it's not a virus.) I also shared it with you, Mrs. Genesky. I can also share it with you, random person reading this, but you have to shed your anonymity and ask for it first.
My passage was from Never Let Me Go
Here's my beautiful planning:
Literally I always love my planning. I think I'm a pretty adequate planner, I just tend to not articulate my amazing ideas well. I am in no way an expert on the IOC, but I found it helpful when I was planning to use the numbering system, and then over to the side write out the themes for those numbers, so that way when I am jumbling my words and completely forget what I'm talking about, at least I can refer back to the main concept I was trying to get across. I don't know, it seemed to help me, so maybe it'll help you, too, anonymous reader.
A: 7 I think I did a really good job about referencing back the text to support my argument and using explicit examples to show what I needed to get across.
B: 4 I didn't talk a lot about specific literary devices in the text to help support my claims
C: 3 I think that it is apparent that I tried to organize, and I didn't jump around, but I don't think that my organization flowed very well.
D: 2 I say "um" a lot and I take extremely long, awkward pauses. It was kind of uncomfortable.

Hey Shaunaci! Just wanted to tell you that you're fabulous. And give you a little feedback on your IOC.
ReplyDeleteFor starters, you ARE great at planning. Wow. I just want to give you a little warning: don't over-plan. That's a tough trap to avoid. The nature of planning is to provide a rough outline of your thoughts, not to completely define your thoughts. It seemed like while you were talking you couldn't converse beyond your planning. So, I guess I'm telling you to plan a little less. You need to rely on your awesome knowledge of the text and not on the thoughts you were able to jot down in fifteen minutes. I don't know if you did this, but I would suggest planning to take about three minutes of your planning time to gather your thoughts and practice what you're going to say. Also, you were right about Criterion A, you did have a lot of great examples. However, I think it would be in your best interest to elaborate a little more on these examples, and really delve into how they impact the passage, not just identify them.
Again, you're awesome. Good job!
