Welcome to the Spring 2013 Semester!

Welcome to those of you who are new students, and welcome back to those of you who are returning students!  It was great to see all of you last Thursday!  

Last week on 3/7, after my introductions we played "Two Truths and a Lie."  In this game, we each had to tell two truths and one lie about ourselves, and the others had to guess which was the lie.  But we were all "honest liars," and told only the truth when revealing our lies!!  We learned some unbelievable truths about each other last time!  

We also brainstormed a list of different types of presentations, including drama, powerpoint, reading an article, giving a prepared speech using key words as memory aids, "off the cuff" (impromtu), drawing on the blackboard, singing a song, telling a story, showing photos, bringing in objects and/or other visual aids, and many more ideas.  I was impressed with all the great ideas that everyone came up with!  

I hope you'll all feel free to get creative with your presentations this semester, and I hope that our brainstorm got you all inspired to give whatever type of presentation that you feel comfortable giving this Thursday and in the future. 

As I said in class, we welcome any type of presentation, and from any length starting from half a minute, to twelve minutes long!  The more people who share ideas in class, the more fun we'll have, so I welcome you all to share something in class on Thursday!
