Oh my goodness - watch this!

"Leave Behinds"

Last line on your little hand out from yesterday.  Remember how I left you that little "hand out?"
What little hand out do YOU want to "leave behind" after YOUR presentation next week?
a book or movie recommendation?  A YouTube?  A website?  Just a business card?
YOU ARE GIVING THE AUDIENCE A PRESENTATION to MOVE them - to get them to DO something.
So figure out what "leave behind" you want to bring `10 of next week. 
Business card?  Hand out with information, a "saying?"  - at least a piece of chocolate!!

October is Anti-Bullying Month

Little music video that some students from cch and myself were a part of making to promote awareness on bullying & violence in schools. Help spread the word by sharing with friends.

Class Discussion

I think the class discussions we have are quite interesting. For the first week, I enjoyed getting to know my classmates and getting to more about the people I've had in other classes. I have just received the "Elements of Style" book, but sadly, I had yet to read through it. I will though when the situation demands for it. Which should be this Wednesday.

How bad do you want it?
