I should probably talk about how my presentation went last week. Better late than never, right?
Overall, I think my presentation went okay. The reviews that I got from some of you were fairly mixed... several people thought that I seemed very at ease and comfortable in front of the class, and others felt that I was a little unsure of myself. I do think that I should have more firmly decided (and not asked) whether I should read some excerpts from my website to you, my audience, but otherwise I was comfortable with what I was presenting. I'm satisfied with how I did, though, now I wish that I had given the class a better look at some of the things I had written... And now that I've discovered some extra things that I've added to my site, including some sweet videos, I wish I had those at the time of my presentation so you could have seen them. But, then again, you can still look at them! I have them in a text box on the right. Go look! :)
"In literature it is our business to give people the thing that will make them say, 'Oh yes, I know what you mean'. It is never to tell them something they don't know, but something they know and hadn't thought of saying. It must be something they recognize."

ok, so i know i wasn't in the room for your presentation, but i did hear most of it through the door while you were presenting (the 3 of us didn't want to barge in on your presentation because that would have been extremely rude), but anywho, you spoke very clearly and loud enough for everyone to hear (if we could hear you through the door, you were presenting yourself loudly and clearly enough for everyone in the room, i can guarantee you that), you were also very knowledgeable on your topic of Islam, and your website....AWESOME!!! it really was amazing, I'm glad you could get that map to fit :)
Thanks a lot, Marty!!
