I really enjoyed learning about this book from you guys! At the beginning of the presentation, I had hard time because without more background knowledge about the brain, it is difficult to understand the complexities you were referring to. What is tough about it is in this kind of presentation, there is no room for elaborate studying of what the ideas are, but it is something that cannot be briefly touched on to permit understanding either. Because of this, it was definitely useful the way you guys delivered the information. I have no real advice on how that portion of it could have been different because it was such a challenging piece of the presentation. However, it was useful the way you created a relationship between names of animals and the parts, that did help! You handled that portion of the presentation well! The rest of the presentation was also excellent. There were so many engaging and cool activities for us to do and learn from at the same time. It was a rich presentation with a lot of things that got me thinking about myself as a teacher an role model. The overall energy of the presentation was also something I was very impressed by! Everyone was positive and helpful in presenting the information. The group work worked out well by separating into pairs to deliver the information we learned in the first section. It was important to break it up that way so that we could all clearly communicate the information and understand easily. It worked much better than the way we did our jigsaw-ish group work in the first book presentation.
Overall the presentation was incredibly informative and fun! You guys did a wonderful job sharing the information, explaining the book, and promoting it's ideas and topics! Thanks a lot!
