Presentation ProceduresCitizens 1. Silent - Make sure you are silent during their presentation, we have to

hear them so you can complete your sheet and I have to give them a grade.

2. AP Sheet - Don’t forget your audience participation sheet – it is 30 percent of your grade

Judges 1. Hands - Raise your hand to ask a question after the presentation is

done.

2. Decision - Base your decisions on your audience participation sheet on the group’s project: What did they convince you to do?

3. Questions - Judges must ask at least one question to receive credit.

Presentation Procedures

Remember: 1. If the President raises his hand, he must speak.

2. Attack the idea, not the person.

3. You can support the group, it doesn’t have to be an interrogation.

4. Extra credit is awarded for positive contributions to the discussion.

The signal to be silent – when you see this me do this, citizens get silent and the presentation will begin shortly after.

Additional Professionals

Citizens
