The technical writing meeting was held at the library.
During this meeting, we learned how to write an expository presentation, which is the way you write how to do something.
The team picked topics out of magazines that Mrs. McDonald provided.
We divided into three teams, and the topics we chose were how to catch a fish, how to catch a shark, and how to make a chocolate pizza pie. I'm hoping that we get a recipe for that last one!
Other ways of writing a presentation are descriptive, analytical and narrative, but we only focused on how to do something which is known as expository writing.
When the time was up, each group gave a presentation for the other students. One student used notecards and presented the topic from the notecards, another student drew a poster board for that topic, and the rest of the students demonstrated while the presenter spoke. We need a little work on how to demonstrate things!
After all were done, we discussed what could have been done differently in our presentations. I think we need some work to present our topics at the Robotics competition!
