Long lost blog greetings to you, and welcome to those who are new!
Between now and Wednesday, April 4th, I would like you to do the following (read through instructions before doing - it's like following a recipe):
1. When you have a block of 20 minutes, sit down and watch your two monologues. Watch each one AT LEAST twice.
On the second viewing, be sure and write down any tactics you think you see yourself executing (don't go back to your GOTA sheet - this will work better if you view it without refreshing your memory).
2. Respond to the following prompts by commenting to this post. REMEMBER NOT TO USE YOUR LAST NAME!! You should take about 5 minutes to consider each prompt, and about 5 minutes to write your response. PLEASE PROOFREAD and EDIT!!
a. Briefly describe what tactics you think you executed in each monologue, compared to how many you may have actually set out on your GOTA.
b. Do you think your monologues were substantially different? Why or why not?
c. (Take a little longer on this one . . . and be honest - I assess on honesty, not on "right" answers.) What are some steps you could take to improve your execution of tactics? What steps would you take in the future to keep from getting caught in a "rut" of how you perform a monologue?
