What Our Group Discussed:
We discussed chapters 9 and 10.
How We Discussed It:
We went through chapters 9 and 10 in order. We spent most of the time trying to discuss the chapters to understand what the author was saying. We gave a nice little conclusion to the book and our new perspective on statistics.
Any Points of Conflict/Disagreement In Discussion:
During our individual reading time, we all had a difficult time understanding these last two chapters. We had to explain the information to one another.
Questions:
Because of the fact that like each of our podcasts are twenty minutes and we split them into four, we don't have any questions for this section.
What did you set out to do?
I initially set out to use mentor texts to develop a new definition of power and compare power to leadership with examples in today's society. Once reading the mentor texts I had learned so much and had more to write about simply what I learned from the books. I set up a small collection of ideas and theories I learned from each text and how it could be applied to a social enterprise.
How did this work incorporate storytelling?
This work incorporated storytelling in the sense that it highlighted character development. The process of how an individual can enlighten themselves through education and use this information to make change is a story. Though not in the traditional sense, as it is an unfinished story and will remain that way until the "main character" dies. It is a reflective story
What do you hope your audience gains from your work?
I really hope that my audience can see that there is education beyond traditional school and in this new age where everyone is getting degrees it is important that you have an intellectual edge on the competition. I also want them to see that even if they don't go into business, that they should still keep a business, or entrepreneurial, mindset going about career matters.
What did you gain?
I gained a lot of new information and reflection time on myself. I go further into the things I learned in the actual text.
