Presentation Wrap-up
Looking back at presentations, please answer the following questions:
1. What presentation did you enjoy most? Why?
2. If you could do the presentation over again, what would you change about the assignment in general (either your own, or all)?
3. What could you do to your own presentation that would have improve your presentation?
4. Tell me about your group: What did the other group members do that was great? What did they NOT do that they could have done that would have been helpful?

Presentations...
What's the DEAL with this presentation anyway?
Despite discussing the presentation repeatedly, there is still much confusion. Let me try to clear that up.
You and your partner(s) are presenting your topic as clearly as possible to your peers in class. You are designing your presentation to cover the topic so that it is interesting without using a poster.
You are going to be interesting, and you are going to consider your topic to present your information. For example: if you have a game, you will probably play a game. If you have food, you will probably bring something people might eat. Your topic will determine how you present.
How long will this take to present? How much information do you have?
You need to W*O*W me, and you need to educate your class members. Your information should be correct and you should have learned something. (I expect you'll take 5-10 minutes.)
This is worth 100 points.
