College Presentations Today!

Today we will begin our college presentations.  Please be attentive and respectful to your fellow students who are presenting.  Remember to treat this as a practice for your exhibition, which is coming up.  Eye contact, pacing, voice control, etc. are all important parts of these presentations.

Speaking of Exhibitions, make sure you are getting prepared as they begin next Thursday (1/16).  Make sure you know exactly when you present and are ready to go at that time.  Those of you with internships need to notify your mentors that you will not be able to make it on your assigned day.  You must show up on the day of your presentation to view and assess ALL other students presentations.  As a reminder posted here is your schedule and the exhibition checklist.

Exhibition Schedule

Exhibition Checklist

You have an hour block for your presentation.  Exhibitions should run around 40 minutes or so.  You will have good timing if you spend about 5 minutes per topic: Intro, test scores, communications, social reasoning, quantitative reasoning, empirical reasoning, personal qualities, future goals, and conclusion.  Some parts, like the intro and conclusion, will be shorter than 5 minutes.  While others, like communications and types of reasoning, will probably run a bit longer than 5 minutes.  So be prepared to fully display knowledge of each subject.

Finally, we have a history assignment to begin today on America emerging as a major power and claiming an empire.  This assignment is a bit longer than usual but will not be due until Wednesday (1/15).  This assignment briefly covers the entire chapter.  However, you will go more in depth to certain sections when we begin a project on Monday.
