Project Presentation Preparation & Presentations!
Objective: To prepare and practice showing off all the awesome work you did and new things you learned to everyone else in the class.
Entry:
- Think about times when you have seen well executed, engaging in-person presentations. What do those presenters do well? How do they keep their audiences engaged?
- When presentations have been boring/unengaging, what has been lacking? What are some pitfalls you should make sure to avoid in your own presentations?
Activity:
- Take a few minutes to make sure you are prepared to present.
  - Remember you are answering these prompts:
    - What are the main areas of the project you worked on?
    - Provide a brief (1-2 minute MAX) summary of each of your pages. Student opinion pieces can take longer if needed.
    - What were the most significant things you learned about your topic?
    - What are the most important things others should know about your topic?
    - REMINDER: There should be no point in your presentation where you are reading directly off of your website. You should be summarizing/paraphrasing your work on each page, including your opinion pieces.
- Make sure people know who is discussing which pages, and who will be managing your technology.
- Once you have done the work to prepare for your presentation outlined above, your group must practice your presentation IN FULL at least once before you leave today.
Exit: You need to be able to answer the following questions before you leave today.
- Who will be in charge of presenting each page of your website?
- What resources will you use to help you with the information you are going to present?
- How long did your practices take?
  - Are you happy with that time?
