Waving!

I finally made it! The time has come to communicate my findings to an audience (that's you). Lamb notes that one needs to identify an audience during this stage. My audience is essentially myself for part of this project - I am letting myself know what kind of practice plan I will need to run a tryout. I am also, however, using part of my final product to communicate to my peers. I created a Power Point presentation that provides explanations of each of the drills I used in my plan. It also provides a list of sources I used. This way, those who are not familiar with softball or just some of the drills I used may understand what I am speaking of; they may also visit the sources I used for their own knowledge. This step also follows the Creating step in the Alberta Inquiry Model (Callison and Preddy 58). I created the product that will be most useful for me - my tryout plan - and then went back and thought about my audience. Not everyone reading this blog will be familiar with the drills I used. So, I went back with that audience in mind and created my Power Point. Thus, I satisfied the needs of both audiences.

I have included the links to both the tryout plan and the Power Point presentation in my OnCourse worksite. They are the only two documents in the folder. The Excel workbook contains six pages. The first three are the tryout plans. The fourth is the evaluation template, and the last two are examples of how the template can be used.
