Blog 4: Interview 1 & Presentation Reflection

1. Unfortunately, my first interview didn't really come into play when I was planning my five minute presentation. My interview gave me a lot of vague, but quality information that was not necessarily applicable to my five minute.
2. Nothing in particular stood out about my presentation, except maybe how unprepared I was. I figured I could talk for five minutes, but I ended up not having enough quality information. I had to resort to asking the audience random questions. I learned that more information is definitely better. 3. Probably scrambling for something to talk about during my five minute.

Blog 3: Presentation 1

I'll be describing the difference between improv and scripted plays. I figure it's an easy enough idea to grasp, and I can fill up five minutes of talking. I think it can provide a good introduction to my topic by narrowing it down a bit.

Objective: Explain the difference between improvisational and scripted performing.
Procedure: I will begin by asking the class if they know the difference between improv and scripted performance, and not call on anybody on the improv team. If I get a correct answer, I will display my visual, and go into more detail about the different games and rules of improv.
Check for understanding: Ask general questions relating to the rules that I introduced previously.
Materials: My visual(s) will be a script from a stage play.

Blog #2

I am plan to interview Linda B. from Cal Poly's Theatre department. I'm interviewing her because she is the second most readily available of my interview prospects. I think she'll have a lot of good information for me.
I don't plan on asking many additional questions. I'll just see where the conversation leads us. Other than that, I'll focus on the five main questions for the first interview and save the more in depth questions for later ones.
