Some important moments in this last week

1. I feel very proud when I see students giving a good presentation (and when they write a good TWA) especially students who started the semester thinking they would never have the confidence or the language to be able to do it.

Although they do all the hard work I like to think I have something to do with it!

2. I also saw a really superb presentation by Eduardo. Two things that marked his presentation were:
a) He was speaking from his heart and not just from the words on a paper, written by someone else. He gave us an example of an entrepreneur he knows from his experience and he linked that experience with what has been written about entrepreneurs. This technique of combining examples and personal stories brings your presentation alive.
b) He did a lot of preparation and he practised and practised and practised.

I am going to video Eduardo doing his presentation again and will use it for future turmas when we are doing the unit on entrepreneurs.

3. I had an important e-mail dialogue with one student who felt that I didn't appreciate her work. Not only do I admire and respect her work but I also like the fact that she wrote to me.
