Curtis Strange Reflections (April 17th & 19th)  1. // Checklist // -- What specific tasks from the project checklist did you and your buddy begin, work on, or accomplish? What step are you on the checklist? Presentations are now completed. Keiira presented on Tuesday and did an awesome job! Today she was not in class due to illness so I could not talk to her further about her performance. We are now through all students with presentations.

 2. // Summarize // your session with your buddy. What went well? What challenges do you encounter? How did you overcome or deal with these challenges?  On Tuesday, Keiira presented. She said she wasn't very nervous and did a great job speaking loudly for all to hear. It was difficult for her to make eye contact. I told her that comes with practicing more. Since our buddies never really worked out their StoryKit projects or practicing for oral presentations outside of our sessions, I didn't expect her to be perfect with eye contact. On Thursday, Keiira wasn't present due to illness.

 3. // Reflections // - what did you do well today? How were you supportive? What area do you need to improve in for your next session? After her presentation, I talked a bit about how it went with Keiira. She did an awesome job with her inflection and speaking loudly enough. I was especially proud of how for one of her pages she had to add a bit spoken because we hadn't recorded all of the text. She rolled with the punches very well and I pointed that out to her. I don't need to improve for the next session on anything: we are done working on our projects and presentations are over.

 4. // Plans // - what are your plans for the sessions this week? How will you prepare? What will you prepare? Next week we are starting Apps with the students. I already have in mind the apps my classmates and I liked and didn't like based on our reviews so I'd target the desirable/more fun ones with her during our time with Language Arts apps. (I presume this starts next Tuesday). Outside of our sessions, I don't need to prepare anything ahead of time.
