        • Some notes to help you with the sections
          • Topic selection: how did the two topic controversy help you to pick a topic that you knew you could have research sources for the presentation? How did you struggle finding sources? What was the issue? If you were to do this presentation again, would you pick this topic? Why or why not?
          • Research Proposal: what did you learn about creating a thesis statement? What did you learn about creating proper MLA citations? How did having the annotation information help you in future steps?
            What were your struggles with completing your citations or getting your thesis approved?
            If you were to go through this process again, how would you change how you completed this step?
          • Outline: have you ever created a formal outline before? Did you complete the outline in order or did you dissect it based off of the thesis statement you already had? Did you find that you had any struggles as you filled out the outline? If you were to create an outline in the future, how would you make it more seamless?
          • Prezi/ppt creation: what did you learn about creating a PowerPoint that didn’t have a bunch of words? Did it move faster because you had a preset plan? What were the struggles of finding images? How would you help yourself to create this PowerPoint again in the future
          • Presentation: what did you learn about doing a presentation where you had the same length of time as other presenters but were not using the PowerPoint for more than a visual? What were the struggles to your practice? If you were to do this again, how would you change it?
