Option #1

• Preparing for the talks helped because it gave us some insight in who was coming and what they were going to be discussing. It made their talks more interesting beacuse we had an idea of the subject line of the topics were. We new what to listen for and what type of questions to ask.
• I could really connect to speaker #1's idea of his sense of place in Salem in the way that he stumbled upon Salem and his career choice. I hope to stumble upon my career path like he did. I also connected to him and in the way that he talks about the importance to preserve some of the traditional customs and places in Salem. Both visitors' talks were effective beacuse in some way we could all relate to the uncertainty they all felt during their college years. 
• I feel as though I was very engaged in their conversations I responded with a nod or another gesture when prompted with a question. I was respectful and mindful during their talks. overall i would rate my engagement between 1.5 and 2 because I didn't ask the speakers any questions.
