    This is genuinely very clever and I’m amazed that the teacher came to the conclusion that this person didn’t prepare anything

      Delivery is everything. This is a great idea, but if the person was too socially awkward to nail the timing or tone, I could easily see how this idea could flop.

        I don’t know, the mere fact that each action was followed by a slide detailing that previous action should be more than enough to show effort. Even if it wasn’t received as funny, it is still provable as an attempt.

        I feel if he is brought to explain himself, it explains itself. It is just down to whether anyone can identify actual creativity in his school. Odds aren’t in his favor.

          I agree it’s clear he prepared, but maybe what the teacher means is that he didn’t prepare any research. If the assignment is graded based on the quality of the research and effective delivery of the source material and proper citing of sources, then anon is getting a big fat zero. Maybe he forgot to read the assignment brief, and ended up completely missing the actual requirements.

          The point is to get more comfortable talking in front of a crowd, and learning to present your ideas.

          This accomplishes none of that.

            Definitely not when met with this sort of reaction. It easily could have.

            I dunno, this kind of meta commentary could easily accomplish both, if executed well. Shows that you’re thinking of things in terms of overall social norms and trends, and figuring out how to present that idea in front of a crowd in an approachable way. I still think that the delivery is the most important aspect of this idea, though, as a piece of comedic satire.

      Yeah fuck him. Tell the counselor the faculty should all get together and see if with their collective strength they can remove the stick shoved up his ass.

        The faculty seems like a bunch of snotty nerds. They probably dont combined have the muscle mass to remove a toothpick much less a full stick.
