Reflection On My Progress After Draft 2!

I am feeling more confident in my progress after finishing my second draft. I feel like I have found valuable information and it is presented in a chronological manner. I have moved from just a vague list of ideas to an actual script in which I can read from. I have also used power point to start visualizing my ideas and I have successfully recorded my voice reading from the script, which was a very new and very weird experience for me. I am worried though because as of now my presentation is right at about 9 minutes and I haven't even added in the "take away" for the audience which will be an example of how it is used in the classroom. Not only to I have to find information to cut, but I also must figure out how I want to present a blog. I am most comfortable showing a reading workshop because that is what we have done in class but that doesn't show the versatility that a blog allows. As a question for you, would it be okay to create a blog and post the link in the presentation rather than showing it? That way my audience can have an actual "take away" that they can access at anytime during their career. At this point I'm just stuck. I don't want what parts to delete to make my presentation most effective and I'm not sure how to model a blogs use in a classroom.
