All right: Applying what we learned in class, specifically in the context of a Technical Analysis. I guess basically that means rehashing the presentation from Wednesday, but I also like critiquing the delivery itself.
Arguments: I think the best way to get conversation and dialogue started is to present a controversial topic (I guess you don't have to, but that's easier), give a few points arguing for each side, and then ask what people think. If it's a topic that people are particularly passionate about, it's almost harder to get them to shut up than get them talking :).
The group on Wednesday was talking, of course, about sex ed, which is not particularly my favorite topic, but what the hey. I'm not sure how exactly factual the whole thing has to be-- as in their statistic that 1/6 condoms fail was debatable. I guess the presentation is mostly just to get discussion started, not necessarily to be a specific educating spiel. If we wanted to do that, we'd actually pull out the articles and study those, rather than getting it 3rd or 4th or 20th hand. I actually found it interesting that people didn't understand what, exactly, was failing... it seemed pretty clear to me, but I guess that that's why you have to review your presentations and make sure that what you're trying to communicate is clear. I guess just something good to keep in mind.
