IOC Practice Time!

Here is a link to my voice recording: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1fYJstb5dOI

You can ignore the last ten seconds. I forgot to stop recording so it's just dead space!

I had a passage from Macbeth where Lady Macbeth says, "Glamis thou art, and Cawdor... to cry 'Hold, hold'".

Score:
Criterion A: 7
I feel that I was able to thoroughly explain the context of the text. I was also able to connect my passage to the work as a whole. I used several examples from the passage in order to support the claims I made about the passage.

Criterion B: 6
I did recognize some literary techniques, but I feel like I could have talked more about how they affected the audience. I did still talk about the effects, however I think more detail could have been given.

Criterion C: 4
I had a thesis and was sure to structure my commentary during the planning. This helped me keep a clear train of thought and allowed me to stay on track.

Criterion D: 3
I could have used a higher level of vocabulary. I also feel that I could have had much better sentence structure than I did. Overall, my language was appropriate, but there was a lot of room for improvement.

Total: 20
I have no idea if this is accurate as I have noticed that I am not exactly good at grading myself, but I tried!

Here is my planning! Sorry if it's not exactly legible.

  1. Your choice to number the different points you wanted to discuss was really smart, I didn't plan nearly as affectively and lacked cohesiveness in my practice IOC as a result. To save yourself time when planning and to avoid sounding like you were reading, it may be helpful to write a few key words that will help to refresh your memory about what you wanted to discuss with each point. Other than that, nice job!

  2. Amy:
    - Establish a bit more context
    - Watch out for just paraphrasing- think about HOW Shakespeare is doing what you say he is doing/what the passage is doing
    - Need more literary and language features rather than summary
    - Conclusion?
