Talk show comment Thursday, November 27, 2008

This morning we watched 4 different talk shows in class. Despite the fact that some people did not show up to class, those of you who did managed to work out your shows anyway.

I liked the fact that you did your best to take yourselves seriously. It is always a lot more fun to watch! The best performers were the ones that without a manuscript managed to "act" your roles instead of just reading your lines. A couple of you also did a nice job filling in for missing group members.

Good points in your shows:

  • You took yourselves seriously
  • Good ideas/topics
  • Good pronunciation
  • The shows were fun to watch
  • Well developed manuscripts

Areas of improvement:

  • Rehearse/practise more to be able to act more naturally
  • Take responsibility, help each other in the group, make sure you do your "job" in the group, be sure to show up to class for the presentation (if you don't show up you not only jeopardize your own grade, you also make life harder for the other members of the group which is unfair).
  • Grammar (especially when asking questions like "How did you feel?" and using verbs in different tenses).
