PBL Day 6: Tuesday, March 22
8th Graders:
Today you will continue working on your PBL presentations. You have the entire class period to work. Stay focused! Also, I need you to complete the "Presentation Organizer" by the end of the class period. Essentially it's a storyboard for your Powerpoint. I will photocopy it and return it to your group tomorrow.
Also, today we will decide the order of presentations for this Thursday and Friday. Presentation order will be decided randomly, though I will take requests for the first slot.
Lastly, today your group must decide if you would like to wear professional dress or uniforms for your presentation. For professional dress, you cannot wear jeans, sneakers, leggings, or gym uniforms. I will post more specific guidelines and ideas after school today.
