Let’s Talk Part Two Here is more about Let’s talk. For the first of our final two challenges we had to piece together a couple pages of a book called The Art of Memoir by Mary Karr. Once again we were given ten minutes to complete this. This challenge was the more difficult for me and my group. We nearly lost it all for our class. We just could not seem to get the pages together. My hands began to shake and I was sweating. I did not want be the group that lost the big prize for all of us. By the way we still did not know what the prize was we were all working for. Finally, the show host Sabatino Mangini allowed us to look at another groups work. But we were only allowed to look for a minute. We could still not get it! Time was running out and I was freaking out. Once again the host gave us a break he let the other groups come over and help us. Finally, we got! Thank the Lord. The show has run out of time we would have to wait until our next class to start the final challenge, but we were let in on what our prize would be. We were told that if we do three optional blog post they would add half a letter grade to our grade. In our next class we returned to the show to finish our third and final challenge. For this challenge we went to the front of the room in groups and had to shit with our backs to the projector screen. On the screen was a group of words related to topics we have talked about in class. The groups left in the audience had to describe the words to us without saying the actual word. We only had two minutes to do so. Once again my hands began to shake. The first two groups went up and did well. They got through all the words with some time left. Then of course my group was called up last. The host was teasing us knowing I was nervous. “These are the hardest words. Erica has to try and answer them all first.” The timer started, I was shaking. We did pretty well but we just could not seem the get the last word. We ran out of time. Luckily we were given a bonus question. If we got this question right, we would be given thirty extra seconds to get the last word. We got it! We won the game show! We when then told on top of our original prize of an extra half letter grade, we were given a deadline extension. Below are the pictures from the piece of the chapter we had to put in order.
