Final Preparation for Presentations

First, a sad farewell to Ms. Reaves.  I am going to miss her daily presence in our classroom, and I know you will, too.  You will be writing for her during the first part of class.  Please respectfully give her your very best today!

Today (Thursday) marks the final day for in-class work on presentations and conferencing.  To avoid bedlam and maximize productivity, keep conferencing at your own table with members of your group, and whisper or talk so softly that others aren't interrupted with noise pollution.  You will be earning participation points today for your QUIET demeanor and ON-TASK behavior.  Please no carpet area or moving to sit with friends!  I have to insist that everyone can concentrate, so beware of ruining part of your presentation grade with bad behavior (heavens forbid)!

When you have finalized your presentation slides and set the transitioning, please email your presentations to me at both addresses:  bjames@spsmail.org    and  katie.ann.james@gmail.com.   Monday we are starting presentations, and you will be handing in your presentation packet, made up of two things - your outline and your conferencing notes.  You won't need a folder, but you will want to staple your notes to your outline for full credit.

We will play the lottery for the order of presentations, so come prepared!  Good luck!  Break a leg!  Can't wait!

If you haven't handed in your autobiography packet (first draft with conferencing notes and second, polished draft) or your annotated bibliography, turn them in before next week.  Last chance for full credit is this Friday, and the last chance for late credit for these and anything else is Monday, December 8th!
