During his time the student will; 1) Give a 2-3 minute speech (which they have already written in class, just needs editing & rehearsing). This is the "Grabbers & Closers" sheet. Please bring me a copy on their presentation day. 2) Create a visual display (usually on bristol board) where the name of the charity is prominent and neat. The mission statement, or a paragraph about what the charity does and who it helps is clear for anyone to read. Students can add to the display however they want with photos (and captions), borders, quotes. They can show their own creativity here. 3) There will be a brief comments, question & answer time from their classmates. 4) Mr. Sternberg's class will also create a 10 minute activity, as a funraiser. Ms. Clancy & Ms. Ling's class will be doing a "carnival" type funraiser over 2 classes later in the term as there is not enough class time after all the presentations.
