Outlines for the TED Talk are due MONDAY

On a previous post, I included an outline.  I also went through each student's rough outline and gave suggestions.   I also gave them a copy of the outline.

Almost all students needed to add more research to their presentations.  They must refer to a source of information at least two times!

The absolute shortest a talk can be is 2:30- two minutes and thirty seconds.  Below this, and they will get a D.

To get a perfect 100%, a student must speak for 5 minutes, have visuals, do not have notecards or notes to present, refer to two sources of information, and speak clearly.

Look at these fascinating topics we will be listening to next Wednesday!
