SEWARD- Presentation Day
Presentation Day – Wednesday, April 3rd, from 12pm – 2pm
This is a great opportunity for your student(s) to engage in public speaking and to celebrate their learning/accomplishments with their peers and with us!
Please RSVP through the What’s Happening!
Here are a few details to help your student prepare:
- Has your family recently traveled to an exciting place?
- Does your child have a unique skill or talent they would like to share?
- Has your student studied hard and learned something amazing, memorized a poem, or wrote a song?
- Does your child have a cool collection, model, or pet they want to highlight?
- All grade levels are encouraged to participate, and any concept or project is acceptable for presenting.
- If your child is apprehensive about participating, audience participation is also welcome, and may inspire future involvement
Before the big day, take time with your child to practice public speaking/listening skills:
1. Presentations should be 10 minutes or less;
2. Face the audience, not your mom or just your project. Use eye-contact
3. Speak in a loud enough voice to be heard at the back of the room;
4. Any poster needs bold, large letters to be seen by the audience. Pencils and fine line markers are invisible from more than a few feet away;
5. If notes are needed, it is better to use index cards, so you are not holding a big piece of paper in front of your face;
6. When others are speaking, sit silently, giving attention to the speaker. Save questions for after the person is done speaking.
