Hunnicutt 1 Zachary Hunnicutt Professor Raymond UWRT-1101-E02 12 November 2014 Group Discussion Since I have a topic that almost everyone knows about, it was almost impossible to learn new information from my peers. A few days ago I was talking to my roommates about Martin Luther King Jr, and trying to find out what type of information they didn’t know about him. There were some bits of information that they were surprised to hear, but a majority of it was already known. ‘The information they found the most shocking were the facts about King being a hypocrite. How he preached against abuse and adultery, when in reality he would be with multiple women at a time while he toured the country. As they were receiving the information, they began to ask questions about different events in King’s life. Some of the questions were: ow often was he away from home, and for how long? When he was assassinated, how did the / country react? How old was he when he was shot? Did his wife know about his affairs? All of these were great questions that I could answer, for the most part. I made sure to incorporate the answers to their questions in my presentation, so that if the audience has the same questions, they are already answered. Finally, they told me I should find some sort of diagram that shows how many states King had beed at to give speeches. Overall, having a conversation with my roommates was effective because it gave me a better perspective of how much the audience will know, and how much more they will want to learn.
