You will be graded partially on how you handle the Q and A.
Tip: When you are done with your slide, pretend someone else is presenting it. What 3 questions would you ask of the presenter?
Friday, 12/13: Work Day
Monday, 12/16: Last work day Slide Show + Notes due on Google Classroom.
Final Exam Day--Present + be ready to talk about your community service project
- Memorize and rehearse. Have the notecard in your pocket just in case, but REHEARSE.
- Put your name on your slide. Designate someone to post to the whole slide show to Classroom by the last class day before finals. Monday, December 16.
- Create a one page minimum Google Doc with your notes and 3-5 sources (footnotes) + your name. Submit it on Classroom by the last class day before finals. Monday, December 16.
- Be ready to answer questions about your topic. You are the experts and you will get questions from the audience.
- RESEARCH: Follow the links. Make sure somebody on your team covers all of these sources. You’re in large groups—divide up the information and become experts on your section.
- Every student musk ask one question on presentation day, so expect to get at least one question.
- These are not the only sources you should use, but they are places to start.
- If you’re confused or worried that a visual on your slide might be offensive, ask a classmate, then ask the teacher. This is a good opportunity to learn from each other.
