In my small group was Katie Collins, Alissa Francisco, and Davide Reyes. We all addressed questions about each others Twitterives and the questions that we had as well. I was luckey that my group was very in tuned and gave me good suggestions to improve my Twiterive.

First, I had to identify my theme and place more specifically. My group helped me realize my place was a mental one, the idolization in my head of someone greater I wanted to become. My theme is having a relative I have never met as a role model, and my repetend was the roots. 

Also, they suggested some other genres I could work with, possible a moving slide show, and a "virtual mirror" which made me see my grandpa as I looked closer at myself. 

All and all, I thought that having the small group setting before we presented was very beneficial because it let us feel more comfortable sharing such personal stories first before we shared them with the class.
