Epic Hero Power Point
For those of you who don’t remember the epic hero discussion, or who missed it in class, here’s the power point we used that day. Use it well — L.t.
First Semester Research Presentations
Final First Semester Project
The final fist semester project will be to construct a power point and conduct a 3-5 minute presentation concerning the first semester research paper.
You will receive two separate grades for this project. They are:
- Grade 1: Grade for the power point. It will be worth 1200 total points.
- Grade 2: Grade for the oral presentation. It will be worth 2100 total points
Special Condition-Semester Exam
Any student who must take semester exams will use the combined grade on the power point and oral presentation for the semester exam grade. Semester exam grade combines the points you earned on both the power point and the oral presentation. It will be worth 400 total points, and will count as 15% of the overall average in this class for first semester.
You should pay close attention to the handouts that include the information about the power point and its rubric, and the handouts about the oral presentation and the grading rubric for it.
It is your responsibility to be in class every day and participate in the work of constructing this power point and conducting this oral presentation.
One benefit to this final semester project is that it will better prepare you to present senior projects next semester. By the time we get to senior projects you will have practiced and completed 3 of the 4 necessary components of the senior project. Those components are: research paper, power point, oral presentation.
The fourth component of the senior project is the product for your presentation, based on job shadowing and mentoring experience. We have not practiced that piece with this first semester research paper, but you will know better how to do the product once we become involved in the senior project.
Dates:
January 7 – 11 students will have time in class to work on constructing the power points and to practice delivery of the oral presentations.
January 14 – 18 students will conduct presentations in class.
