PBL Day 7: Wednesday, March 23
8th Graders:
Today is the last day before presentations!
Today you need to put the final touches on your presentations. You need to merge your powerpoint presentations into 1 single file titled "countryFINAL" in your section's folder on the T drive. You must have this step checked by me before you leave today to avoid confusion tomorrow.
Also, I have the LCD projector signed out for each class period. Your group is welcome to borrow it to practice your presentation. You should check to see how your slides will look projected up on the white board. Remember, you will be graded for the "look" of your presentation.
