Propose & Present

Wednesday was the big day for proposing and presenting to the class, and it was recorded by the lecturer. We were a bit nervous, but we were glad that we were 2nd to present. The rules were that we had a maximum of seven minutes to present and after which, our classmates were allowed to ask us a maximum of two questions.

Although we forgot to mention a couple of items, we think that we covered all aspects of the criteria. The two questions directed to us came from Renata: Explain the differences in the spelling of Patois/Patwa; and Kyron: How do we intend to reach our secondary target audience? (Not quoted).

We called a couple of our classmates to find out what they thought about the idea and the presentation, generally everyone said that they liked both the idea and the presentation, in addition to that they also thought that: we would have to do a lot of research; one classmate offered to assist with some footage (it turned out to be unsuccessful) but we really appreciated the gesture; another said that she loved our outfits and didn't realize that lagniappe was Patwa, she explained that before the presentation she was not interested, but now she wants to learn more about it; another said that she didn't think much about it before, but after the presentation she's looking forward to seeing the documentary.

We are pleased about these comments and we look forward to producing an enlightening documentary.
