Assignment: 45-60 second presentation

Topic: “Something we don’t know about you”

Students are to make a 45-60 second presentation to the class on their assigned date. The presentation should tell the class something most people don’t know about the student. This assignment is NOT to be read like a report. Content of presentation does not need to be memorized word for word-just be comfortable with your topic. Students are allowed to bring an index card with notes or an outline along with any picture or prop they desire.

Some examples of topics might be:

· Favorite hobby (i.e. writing, painting, skydiving, etc) · Unique experience (lost in the woods, space camp, attending interesting event, etc) · Unique talent (swimming, singing, horseback riding) · Long term goal (Olympic participant, architect, missionary, etc)

Each presentation will be critiqued by two student peers. Criteria for evaluation include:

· Preparedness · Time-limit · Speaks Clearly · Props · Content · Volume · Posture and Eye Contact
