Today in class we started off talking about our podcasts. After about ten minutes of discuss our assignment, podcast reflections. Some groups went out into the hall to listen while others stayed in the classroom. Our podcast reflections included listening to another groups podcast and analyzing how they did and what goals they completed. In addition to analyzing another group's podcast we had to listen and reflect on our own group's podcast. From the first round of podcasts discussing Ready Player One I believe that a lot of the class has improved their discussions skills. The reflections we preformed today helped solidify the fact that the class was improving over all.

With the time left Mr. Rivers allowed us to continue looking for our movies and books we have to read/watch for our personal podcast. The Ready Player One podcasts that we have to do are preparing us for the mini group podcasts.

Overall class was productive and offered more time to improve on our discussions skills. The rubric that was offered allowed each student to thoroughly evaluate their own podcast and further grasp the aspects they must improve on and the areas they have to cover in general. The time that was available to start planning was not much but was enough to lay out a possible foundation for movie and book selection for the next project. The addition of the rubric will also help with the min group project, especially having it before-hand.
