Final Performance

What Eva posted was all we had written down.  But, basically what we wanted to do was have a prompt in order to hit all the major points.  We wanted to show all we had discussed throughout the course the same way that our daily discussion would take place. We  tried to, as articulately as we could, say something profound that Paul would say. (which was difficult) and then show the way the students would react and respond to what he would say.

Even though I had an organized script in front me, when we had performed, it was mostly improvisation.  From experiencing the same thing in class everyday, we were familiar with people's reactions, and knowing Paul, I knew the right time to cut in and say something "profound" to keep the conversation organized and aiming toward a point...not that we always understood what that point was. I also thought that this showed we had learned so much. And, we were perfectly capable of running the class without Paul even having to be there. (We wouldn't want that though)

I really enjoyed all the performances and I'm very thankful for having been able to take this ESem.
