•You can do the presentation on your own or in a group but each person must speak a minimum of 4 minutes and a maximum of 8.

•Please inform me of your date and topic as soon as possible.

•You may use visual aids such as the whiteboard (I can give you a marker) or use a PowerPoint to make your presentation more interesting.

•You can use video or audio clips in your presentation but these do not count towards your 4 minute minimum yet must be within the 8 minute maximum.

Do not repeat last year’s presentation and do not plagiarize.

Do not read your presentation - this will result in a 0.

Do not memorize your presentation word for word - this will result in a 0.

•Students may be asked questions at the end of their presentation - if asked questions by the teacher or by other students, try to answer these in long answers and avoid 1-2 word answers.
