While we could talk for hours and hours of what Kunstler discusses, we don’t have enough time for that in our presentation. However, some possible areas of discussion we would like to delve upon would include Kunstler’s definition of the public realm and the common good, Disneyland and pre-World-War-II, the suburban sprawl, and finally Kunstler’s idea of the perfect neighborhood and if we can truly achieve the common good once again.
Discussing Kunstler’s definition of the public realm and the common good is an essential one because this is his main argument. He believes that the public realm and the common good have been degraded and his entire paper rests in the cause of this degradation as well as if we will ever be able to achieve the

On September 26th, this is when the plan is due and we should have read everyone’s abstract by this date. Following the abstracts, we will meet to discuss the text and its significance. Once we have discussed the texts, we will draw certain topics that we feel are vital for the class’s comprehension of the text. By September 28th, we each should have picked the topics of discussion we would like to expand on. As mentioned before, Jasmine will focus on “”, Noah will focus on “”, Aaron will discuss “” and Tiarra will focus on “”. Then for the next two weeks, we will work on the discussion paper that is due on October 12th. Everyone will write a few paragraphs (we were thinking about a page for each topic as we weren’t really sure as to how long the discussion should be). And then we would designate a day where everyone would meet and revise/edit the paper to ensure that there are no grammatical errors and that everything flows nicely. Since we will be presenting on November 4th, we will spend the rest of the time, which is roughly about three weeks working on the PowerPoint presentation. Throughout the three weeks, we will construct the presentation, focusing on abstract pictures that describe our topics that will allow for interesting discussion that engages the audience, we will also be working on how to construct flow for .

I have class today at 4p.m., however I am free after 5:50p.m. Please contact me as soon as possible so I am able to plan accordingly.
“The suburban subdivision was unquestionable a successful product. For many, it was a vast improvement over what they were used to. The houses were specious compared to city dwellings, and they contained modern conveniences. Air, light, and a modicum of greenery came with the package” (Kunstler, 105). Once again, living in Levittown was more logical than living anywhere else.

Our group’s topic is religious diversity, and we decided to watch the film “Priest,” which portrayed religious issues through the plot. After each member watched the film, we discussed how the elements in this film emphasized our topic --- religious diversity. Each group member was assigned different tasks, and we helped each other to make the slides more creative. For example, Nadia, one of my group member, created the background of our Powerpoint and did the plot slide and one of the element slides. Esther, another group member, was assigned to interview her friend about her friend’s views about religious diversity. In addition, each member was going to talk about their reflections about the interview during
We mainly did so by first discussing what we were each going to be discussing in our segment of the presentation and made sure that each of our segments directly related to the topic. After our discussion we began to formulate slides for each of our segments taking information and research from our papers and putting it into a bulleted form that would be easy to read on each slide. We also made sure to include images to keep our presentation interesting and captivating while also getting our point across. After we had finished our presentation and were satisfied with the information we checked it over for formatting mistakes as well as grammatical errors. Then on the morning before our presentation we ran through our presentation multiple times sorting out and issues that could make the presentation seem poor. We then delivered our presentation and completed the entirety Task
Our presentation slides focuses more on pictures, charts and key-points for visual aid. By keeping the slides simple, audiences can focus more on the speaker. The videos uploaded by the Centre for English Language Communication department tell us our weaknesses which we do not realize by ourselves.
