Project Presentation Tips
Try to remember these rules when you are speaking before the group. Underline the ones you need to improve.
1.Speak in complete sentences.
2.Use any new vocabulary words you may have learned, but be sure you can pronounce them and that you know what they mean.
3.Speak with a clear voice so that everyone can hear.
4.Look at your audience and speak to its members.
5.Stand aside when you are pointing out pictures, maps, charts, drawings, or diagrams.
7.Do not read long passages from your notes.
8.Know your material so that you sound like an informed person.
9.Be as calm as possible. Try to show that you have confidence in your work.
10.Do not chew gum when presenting.
11.Be ready to tell where you got your information.
Explain what your visual display shows, but don't read everything that is on it to your audience. Let the audience read it later.
12.Ask for questions from the class.
13.Be willing to admit that you don't know an answer if you really don't know.
14.Never make up an answer. You are expected to give only accurate information.
15.When your project is due to be presented, have it ready in final form and on time! Do not come to class with empty hands and a list of excuses.
Motivation
Sometimes I just don’t see the point of homework. I mean, I don’t get the point, so I don’t feel like doing it.”
Motivation Tip 1: Get Perspective!
You’ve probably heard the old saying “I’ll never use this knowledge in the real world.” It’s time to set the record straight once and for all—that saying is completely false!
When you start feeling like homework is a drag, it might help to start thinking about the reason you’re doing homework in the first place. The work you do now really is important, even though it’s probably hard to see sometimes.
When you start feeling like homework is a drag, it might help to start thinking about the reason you’re doing homework in the first place. The work you do now really is important, even though it’s probably hard to see sometimes.
In truth, your nightly homework is really work that will form the foundation for your future. Right now you are probably being forced to study topics that don’t interest you at all. It may seem cruel and unfair now, but it’s really an important and necessary “evil.”
Why? Because a strong foundation must include a good mix of ingredients. You see, you may not believe that you’ll need your algebra skills later in life, but algebra sets the stage for understanding principles of science, economics, and business.
It’s the same for English homework. You’ll need those skills desperately in college, and you’ll certainly need them to succeed in the world.
“I like one of my subjects. It’s all the others I hate!”
Motivation Tip 2: Get an Attitude!
Are you a math whiz? A great writer? Are you artistic—or maybe good at solving puzzles?
Most students have a special talent in one particular area, so they enjoy doing homework in that topic. The problem comes when they avoid doing the other stuff. Sound familiar?
The good news is that you don’t need to love everything. Just pick one area you love and become the self-appointed expert in your school. Get a serious attitude!
Think of yourself as the very best at that one topic, and then make it a reality. For inspiration, you can create a web site or perhaps a series of podcasts about your topic. Become a star!
Once you become the expert in your field, you will gain confidence in yourself and become more tolerant of the topics you don’t enjoy so much. You’ll start thinking of all your least favorite topics as “supporting” actors in your quest for a career in the area you love.
“Some kids get good grades because of their reputations. The teacher just likes them better. I have to work harder for an A.”
Motivation Tip 3: Get Competitive!
This problem could be real or imagined. Either way, this problem is the best kind! If you have a competitive spirit, you can have a lot of fun with this one.
If you think you’re at a disadvantage to other students, you can turn things around by getting a competitive attitude.
Think of every project as a challenge and set out to do your assignment better than anybody else. Try to surprise everyone—including the teacher—by doing outstanding work.
If you feel like you are part of a misfit crowd, then it might help to team up with a friend or two. Put your heads together and plot to outdo the popular crowd. You’ll find that this can be very inspiring!
“I do OK in school. I just get so bored sometimes and can’t get into my homework.”
Motivation Tip 4: Get Your Eye on the Prize!
If you get bored just thinking about homework, then you may need to focus on setting and reaching goals.
For instance, if you are having trouble getting started on a big science project, then divide your project into steps. Then, reward yourself each time you finish a step successfully. Your first step could be library research.
Set a time line for visiting the library and completing your research. Think of a good way to reward yourself, like a frothy iced coffee drink or another favorite treat. Then focus on the prize and make it happen!
Your parents will probably support you in this endeavor. Just ask!
There are many variations to the “eye on the prize” system. You may want to create a dream box or a bulletin board with pictures of big prizes, like the college of your dreams. Fill the box or board with the objects of your dreams and make a habit of looking at them often.
In other words, keep your eyes on those prizes!
”Why should I care? Nobody else does.”
Motivation Tip 5: Get Support!
It’s unfortunate but true that some students don’t receive much encouragement or support when it comes to school work. Some students don’t have any encouragement from family or don’t even have any family at all.
But that doesn’t mean nobody cares.
There are lots of people who care very much that you succeed in school. Just think about it—this web site wouldn’t exist if somebody didn’t want you to succeed.
There are many people who care. People in your school have a big stake in your success. They are judged on your performance. If you don’t do well, they don’t do well.
Adults from all walks of life are concerned about education and the plight of students just like you. The state of education is a big topic of discussion and debate among adults. If you feel like you don’t get support at home, then find an education forum and talk about it.
You’ll find that there are lots of people who are interested and willing to cheer you on!
