Mubarak and Assad On Trial
During this project, I found the gathering of evidence and presenting the trial are the parts that made me “sweat” the most. I found gathering evidence hard since I was defense and all the evidence said that my client was mostly guilty of oh so many things. However, some of the weight was taken off when the guest speaker told us that the defense didn’t have to find a lot of evidence and that the burden was on the prosecutors mostly. When it came to the presentation, I knew that we weren’t exactly as prepared as we hoped, so I knew that there would be some issues that would be brought up.
The group I had to work with was diverse. I am generally a hard worker and on task throughout the project. I did my work and turned it in when it was done which was normally on time. Jessica and Christian were the same, but the latter was occasionally off-task.
When it came to our presentation, I can say that it wasn’t the greatest we could’ve done as a whole. We could’ve prepared more and should’ve been quicker in the gathering/exchanging of evidence so we could make a more suitable trial. However, we still managed to get through the project
I stretched myself in this project by trying to think of evidence/ways to show that my client was innocent while making sure we got enough evidence for a good enough trial.
The project fulfilled Oral Communication and Written Proficiency learning outcomes in my opinion because I had to speak to a "jury" to prove that my client wasn't guilty of what he was being charged. I had to prepare questions and responses for both clients so we can get our point across.

Poetry Slam
For this project, I had to do a series of poems. These poems had to follow different types of writing styles, ranging from the regular free write to sonnets. When doing this project, I didn't like talking, but when it ended. I felt that I grew in oral communication. I can apply this to reading and presenting projects so I don't sound as monotone.
