Presentations! Responsibility Poster Collage Option- Current Events

Some students have been worried about their Responsibility Grade for their "Scientific Revolution Responsibility Homework". My student teacher and I have decided that you can make a collage of what responsible adults look like. There is a really good example in my classroom. Please cut and paste pictures from any magazine or  image from the computer of things that responsible adults get to do.

Example: go on vacation, have really nice cars/homes, have money, are happy...any picture will do as long as you can defend your thinking of how it resembles responsibility. They will be due next week.

We had some amazing presentations! Please take either 10, 15, 20 notes and write a 5 sentence summary with a title on each presentation.

8 Ways To Give a Good Presentation

Energy- Most of us prefer to watch a presentation where the speaker is clearly making an effort to connect with the audience. Energy comes out a vocal variety, gestures, and facial expressions helping you show passion and gain positive listener response. Energy is also a great mask effectively covering up nervousness and other distractions.




Eye Contact- maintain eye contact with individual audience members long enough to complete you thought (3-5 seconds), rather than shifting your gaze from side to side.



Hand Gestures- use natural movements of your arms, hands and body to emphasize your mainpoints. Aviod actions such as crossing arms or putting your hands on your hips.



Facial Expressions- Use smiles, frowns, and other varied expressions to keep your audience engaged. Take tips from stage actors: the bigger the audience the bigger your expressions.



Movement- walk around the stage! Please don't stand still. It isn't natural for humans to be statues.



Nonwords- "like, ummmm...., uhhh" it shows the audience that you did not practice.



Speaking pace/volume- not to fast, not to slow....speak as clear as you can



Pauses- no longer than 5 seconds. think about dramatic pauses to gain the audience’s attention.


Each category you will be scored with stars, one - four, four being Outstanding and one needing improvement.

The total assignment will be a total of 1000 points, 200 for the presentation 200 for your brochure, 200 for your poster, 200 for your gameboard,  200 for your persuasiveness.
