How to get a great mark on your presentation!

When you do your slides don't just copy and paste a picture and information and just read your presentation from the slide. For example, if you have a slide on the Empire State Building have a picture on the slide and just identify it then from your own notes, which you may hold, give the history, size, stories behind the building of it, King Kong climbing it in a movie, and any other information. Do not put all this information on the slide. No one will be able to read it.    

 Do not Bring food from that country or city. Do Wear a costume. Do Play music.

 Do Prepare your presentation. It shows when you do.

When you  are finished email it to me at ggillin@sainthelenaschool.org also, save it to a cd or flash drive as backup.

Be sure to send it to me at least two days before your presentation!  

When the Country/City turns Green you can click on it and see the presentation.
