Age of Exploration Social Studies Presentations!

Our first research cycle in Social Studies is over. We all learned a lot about the explorers who landed on the Western Hemisphere in search for trade routes and riches. We chose what we wanted to research and how to present what we learned to the class. Based on our experiences, we learned what makes a clear, organized presentation. Here is our list:

Tips we learned from our first research cycle/presentations:

- Practice. PRACTICE!

- Funniness should not distract from information.

- Don't block other group members.

- Speak loudly and clearly.

- Stick to the idea and theme.

- Eye contact is important.

- Be aware of time.

- Keep camera still.

- Keep deadline in mind.

- Test-run technology.

- Cooperate with group members.

- Know your stuff.
