presentation skills but on their use of critical and visual language, describing their works using AEDPs,
Describing their design work and that of their peers
TA- Check Hw - critiquing presentation Critique on my presentaion and group work “describing our

and critical language as they were completing floor plan drawings
Positive and supportive atmosphere created over the last few weeks allowed students to be comfortable
standing up in front of the class (for the most part - Big encouragement and option to differentiate with
written presentation that no students opted for)
Peer learning forms however students filled out which kept students on task and engaged in their peers
presentations
