Session 07: 

Summary: For the past two lessons, we spoke about how observation leads to innovation, especially in teams rather than working alone. I also showed some samples of the observation projects that other students have done in previous years. Finally, you reflected on your upcoming projects. 

Homework due on 05/26/2020 at 4 pm:

1. Complete an entry or more of self-study in your Four-Skills Log. The entry should be one hour in length or longer, and please answer the questions thoroughly: 

Which day, which practice task, and how long?  Reflections: What did you do? How long for? What did you notice? How did you feel? New speaking or listening goals?

2. Please talk 3 or 4 pages of notes on these TED TALKS on Observation and attach the photos to the Word document below. Then, add two brief entries to your note-taking matrix (NTM) on both videos that might be good for your Observation midterm report:
