Strength:

I have done a great job of asking open-ended questions while elaborating on other people’s thoughts throughout the discussion. I have also not interrupted others during the conversation and was fully prepared for the seminar.

Weakness:

I have not included enough of the effect of the techniques and language choices or considered further interpretations beyond the novel.

Goals for next time:

To make clearer claims with more precise evidence and to elaborate more on the effects of techniques and language choices.

Steps for achieving my goal:

I should cite more from the novel (Pg #) to further support my claim and to make connections and links with other sources, not just reviewing the content of the novel, but to show deeper understanding and interpretations beyond.
