Beginning to Prepare
• Have your product evaluated and complete any re-do’s of your product before your presentation date.
• The idea of the presentation is to share your successful independent creation of a unique product.
• Present yourself in the best possible light by allowing adequate evaluation time.
![Page 3: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Prepping the Presentation (cont.)
• Your Annotated Bibliography should also be complete and evaluated before the presentation. Your research is complete since you have used that research to complete your product.
• Your journal should be up to date as well.
• You should not do your Reflective Paper until after your presentation is complete.

No-Walk Letters• Some of you will be receiving no-walk
letters in April:
• If you are scheduled to present next week, but you still have not shown your teacher your project or written work.
• If you are presenting in May, but have not completed a proposal by now.
• If you have not shown any serious effort to complete this requirement.
![Page 5: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Presentation is…
• A chance to share your Project with a team of evaluators and anyone important to you.
• An opportunity for you to show off your finished product.
• A way to celebrate the work that you have completed.
![Page 6: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
And most importantly…
• The chance to prove to a panel of evaluators that you are ready to graduate, in the sense that you can successfully be responsible for your own learning on a major project of your own design.

![Page 10: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Conclusions
• Discuss the significant lessons learned.
• Discuss how you might use this knowledge in the future.
• How can you apply this knowledge to your future learning goals?
(2-3 minutes)
![Page 11: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Questions
• Be prepared to answer questions from the panel about your project, your product, your research, and your future learning goals (3-5 minutes).
• This is often the make or break segment for a questionable project or presentation. This is where you can either prove yourself or fall on your face. Be prepared.
![Page 12: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Presentation has Two Rubrics
• CONTENT (Page 45).
• This is the material discussed in the previous slides.
• You must score an average of 3 to pass.
• DELIVERY (Page 46).• You are making a formal, public
presentation.• Study the traits and practice your delivery.• You must score an average of 3 to pass.
![Page 13: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Delivery Traits
• Use of Voice:
• Volume is audible, not a monotone, inflection and enthusiasm is appropriate.
• Eye Contact:
• Speaker makes eye contact with the audience. Student uses notes, but does NOT just read off note cards. It needs to be obvious that the speaker has rehearsed.
![Page 14: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Delivery (Cont.)
• Body Language/Presence
• Speaker shows poise. Speaker does not fidget.
• Speaker is dressed appropriately for an important event such as this.
• Hand gestures are not distracting.
• Again, there is evidence of rehearsal.
![Page 15: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Delivery (Cont.)
• Visual Aids/Use of Technology
• Visual aids are attractive, appropriate and show evidence of thoughtful preparation.
• Speaker is responsible for ensuring any technology is compatible with available equipment (more later).
• Any visual/audio/technology is an enhancement to the presentation. It is not a mirror, or a substitute.
![Page 16: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Delivery (Cont.)• Organization/Pacing/Evidence of
Rehearsal
• The presentation needs to be well-structured to the content timings above.
• Speaker has enough information to fill the time. But not too much.
• Speaker has rehearsed transitions, use of technology, and speaking voice so that (s)he is fully prepared, and to minimize the “nerves.”
• Speaker seems excited to share this information with the audience, and projects confidence and poise.
![Page 17: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Technology• Each room will have the following:
• MacBook (with DVD player)
• Attached to projector or TV and sound (probably the classroom TV speakers)
• You may bring your own computer if necessary, but you will only be able to hook up video and sound--no internet connection.
• If you do this and need to show internet content, store cached pages to your computer before the presentation.
![Page 18: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Technology Formats• You must use the following formats
• Written work (shown on the computer):• Word• RTF• Pages
• Sound and Video:
• QuickTime• PowerPoint• Keynote
![Page 19: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Technology
• Use one of these types of media for your files:
• CD-R and CD-RW formatted as ‘universal’ (9660)
• DVD data disc• USB drive
![Page 20: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Technology Test and Plan B
• Computer Lab 3 available all day all week to check and confirm your presentation format will work. If it works in Lab 3, it will work with the MacBook in your presentation room.
• Do NOT show up to your presentation time without having done this step.
• You will likely NOT be rescheduled due to technological mishaps, if your presentation is otherwise successful.
• Have 3 hard (paper) copies of your presentation slideshow on hand.
![Page 21: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Reminders will be sent home next week
• We attempted to accommodate your presentation requests as much as possible, but logistically it was not possible to do this 100%. Your letter will have your day, time, room and faculty panel members.
• There are NO extra time slots.
• You will NOT be allowed to reschedule or change your date. You are expected to be at your assigned time. This is your first priority.
![Page 22: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What happens if you miss or fail your presentation?
• If you try and fail, you will be given a chance to re-do. Schedule to be determined at faculty convenience.
• If you are a no-show, you will need to meet with me to determine whether you will be allowed to re-schedule or whether you should plan on completing this requirement in the summer or next fall.
• You will need a very convincing reason in order to be allowed to reschedule.
![Page 23: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Bottom Line
• You job for this presentation is to convince the panel and your supervising teacher that you have spent significant time creating a substantial culminating project that you can share with us and of which you are hopefully proud.
• If you can’t do that-either this time or during a re-do, you will not graduate.
![Page 24: The Presentation How to Make it a Success …or not](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062408/56649eb45503460f94bbc5f3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Final Thoughts:• This is important. Take it seriously.
• Rehearse.
• Dress up a bit. Look like a young adult.
• Rehearse.
• Be creative-especially in how you share your product. Is it unique? How can you make it stand out, even if it is not?
• Don’t miss your presentation.
• Rehearse!
