Presentations for Blocks E, F, and H

For those of you that are in blocks E, F, and H, your presentations will be on Friday of this week.  However, if you would like to present before then, you are welcome to come into my advisory period on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday and do your presentations.  If you have any questions, please feel free to come see me. 

  • You MUST bring your presentation on a USB drive.  I do not want to run into the problem of people having to sign into their email account or Prezi account.  It takes TOO much time and we don't have it.
  • Also, in the past we have run into the problem of people forgetting their passwords.  
  •  BE PREPARED!!!!

Presentation Video and PPT

As promised, please find the example of both the presentation and the powerpoint that I used.  As I created my own presentation, I realized that the three minute window was too short.  Therefore, you will have a five minute window to do your presentation.  You will also have a 30 second buffer, if you are running over the time limit.  However, if you go into this buffer time, you will be marked down.  As you can see with my video, I ran into the buffer time and would have lost points for this.  After five minutes and thirty seconds, you will be cut off.

Keep checking the blog of the weekend for when your class will be presenting.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via school email or posting a comment here on the blog.  Have a good weekend, go outside and play, eat lots of vegetables, and don't drink soda!
