Modified Visual Essay Collaborative Process Reflection

Write a paragraph in which you reflect on (not simply summarize) your role in your group's collaborative process. How did you facilitate the collaboration? What would you do differently next time to better facilitate the collaboration? Be sure to reference specific examples from your group work.

     I believe that Cat would be the one person in Penumbra whole would engage in "beautiful talking." Her colorful and joyous personality are great traits that make her suitable for this type of conversation. Whenever she talks she gets immersed in whatever she is talking about, and she always spins an elaborate plan or story. Like when she created the plan for googlers to crack the code, her passion and intent was so driving that it convinced everyone to support her idea. Her way of talking transports and captivates everyone she talks to, she doesn't start conversations, she just speaks her mind in an eloquent and inspirational way. That is why I believe that Cat is the one character in Penumbra who engages in "beautiful talk."

Character and "Beautiful Talk" in Mr. Penumbra

Write a paragraph on the character in Penumbra you think would be most likely to engage in what my seniors have called "beautiful talk" (the "coloring" version of talking, not a discussion, conversation, or debate). Explain why you think they would be most open to this type of collaborative talking, and point to a specific point in the story to support your claim. As you are writing, be sure to focus on employing a variety of sentence structures (at this stage, sentences with and without subordinate clauses), as we discussed in our first grammar lesson.
