When Presenting:• Speak up! Everyone in the room needs to be able to hear you.• Speak to the class, not to the floor or to the board. • Do not simply read off of the PowerPoint. Extrapolate on your presentation. • Anyone who is disrespectful or talking during another student’s presentation will lose points on his/her project at the teacher’s discretion.

Recommended:• Practice your presentation beforehand. Time yourself- it should be around 10 minutes.• The more engaging and interactive the presentation is, the better. Be creative!
