Europe Project Presentations
Just a quick note about the project:
-Presentations are on Monday and Tuesday! To sign up for your child's time PLEASE follow the link here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0f4da4ae2fa0fe3-europe
-The reflective paragraph should be about their experience during the project. Was it fun? Boring? hard? What did they learn, etc.. There is an explanation in their packet.
-The three paragraph essay is about anything they want it ot be about, within their study. It can be on one aspect or all aspects. It may be typed or hand-written.
-The presentation is based upon their poster board, the knowledge they have learned, and their display (food, landmark, or clothing). While I do not want them to read directly off of the poster board, it is the basis of their oral presentation.
-Note cards are perfectly fine.
-If making food, please make enough for the entire class.
-If dressing up, students must wear uniforms. They may change before their presentation time.
If you have any questions, you may continue to e-mail me!!
