You had a little practice on the presentations today. Periods two and six saw some good examples to follow and grow from. Period one struggled a bit but still saw some things and discussed some things that will help make the presentations stronger tomorrow.
Couple key points to increase the possibility of success:
Have a clear intro
Have a clear conclusion
Step forward when talking to separate yourself from the rest of the group
Have some enthusiasm when presenting information
Don't read! Know your material well enough to look at us when talking
You CAN read the passages, but you must do so with practiced enthusiasm
Keep an eye on the time. 3 minutes is the goal. If you have a seven minute presentation, you need to cut it in half.
We'll get going on these right away tomorrow. Our post presentation commentary will be focused on discussion of the topic and not on the style--product not process.
Good luck.
You should be actively reading the preface tonight (pages v-xiv). We'll probably be filled with the presentations, but if there is time we will take a closer look at the information it reveals.
Student Led Conferences tonight!
See you soon.
