Discussion Points:

You will discuss your experience of creating and customizing tables and charts in PowerPoint 2013. Since tables and charts may be new to you, especially the options for creating them in this MS PowerPoint 2013 version. Be sure to spend some time running through the examples. You will find the possibilities are great and you may find this to be a very useful tool in displaying information. After exploring the tables and charts features, describe some real-world scenarios when you or an organization might consider using them. How might this improve an organization’s ability to present information or data? Do charts make it easy for audiences to understand complex numerical data? How do you find the balance between including too many details and focusing on the big picture? One of the keys to creating successful charts is to know which chart to pick to best convey the data. How do you determine this? How can quick styles simplify the formatting process? How do you decide whether or not to use a legend? Discuss your findings, your experiences, likes and dislikes, and the added benefits to you as well. Explain what you struggled with or what you found that was new and exciting that you plan to use personally or professionally. I want to see that you have put some thought into the discussion. Also, read and respond to AT LEAST 2 other students to show that you have learned and can also appreciate what they are describing.

After you submit your assignments for Unit I, you will reflect and self-access the work you completed for Unit I. In this case, you will respond in writing to a set of questions below that ask you to consider how and why you made the choices you made in completing the Unit I Assignments. More specifically, you will comment on your process for composing your video essay and consider what you have learned about historical representations of Black girlhood in this unit. You’ll then save that reflection and return to it later in the semester as you prepare your final portfolio.

Why is reflection important? Because when you take a step back to critically review the ways you approached a problem and implemented a solution, you learn how to generalize that process—that is, you learn how to apply those critical thinking, communication, and project management skills to other subjects and areas of your life.

Primarily, you will comment on your process for composing your video essay and explain your work as a writer, speaker, and designer in this unit? In addition, you will reflect on the following questions:

• What were the main intellectual goals of the assignment? Please situate these goals in terms of the course theme and in terms of the communication strategies you were to learn or practice.
• What is your argument or purpose? How did you make the argument or purpose visible and persuasive in your artifact?
• Who is the intended audience for your artifact; why is this an appropriate audience? How is your choice of audience reflected in your artifact?
• What are the defining features of the genre or media that you are using in this project? How do you make use of these features?
• If you had more time for revision, what would you change and why?

Format

Your reflection should be at least 200 words in length, typed, and double spaced using 12’ Times New Roman font. Include a title (centered). In the left-hand corner, include (in this order):

Your name

Dr. Tigner

English 1102 and section

Date

Grading

In order to receive full credit for your reflection, you must fully engage the prompt questions and demonstrate how these assignments prompt your thinking about Black girlhood.
