Grade 8's - Biography Presentation

*Please note: Students will not be given class time to plan or practice presentation. Today's storm day would be a fantastic opportunity  to organize and practice presentation. 

Next week students will  present an oral presentation of their biographies.  This presentation needs to be about 2 minutes in length.  Students are encouraged to dress in costume as their famous subject.  This is not a 
requirement, but it certainly makes it a lot more fun!  

Biography Presentations Guidelines:
  • presentation must be no longer than 3 minutes
  • you must use note cards(I have lots!)
  • you must rehearse at home
  • you should dress like your subject or have relevant prop(s) for presentation OR create a visual that shows your subject. Examples of costumes/props: Tim Horton - Leafs jersey/coffee cup, Anne Frank - a diary, Steve Jobs - iPhone.  Be creative!
You must include:
  • 6 things you learned about this person
  • answer these questions: Do you consider this person a role model? Why? or why not?
