Step 2- Sign up for a presentation time.
Step 3- Begin to brainstorm ideas. Then begin to write.* We will take
some class time to work on this.
*You could get ChatGPT or a translating app to write this for you in
.003 seconds. Hopefully, you will take this as an opportunity to do some
organization, planning, and writing on your own.
Of course, the VSB and SHEC policies regarding plagiarism and academic
honesty apply. If I see that your work is plagiarized or translated, or
AI-generated. it will get a 0 and a letter in your file.
I know what your writing looks like.
This will be a nice challenge, writing and speaking to the class.
Some people like to show some pictures. Some people are good at
PowerPoint or presentation software.
You don’t have to, but pictures are effective.
IDIOM A picture tells a thousand words.
You can use your laptop or phone with the LCD projector.
We can check the tech any day before you present.
The LCD projector is a bit old. If the projector doesn’t work with your
phone, maybe you can email your pictures to a classmate whose phone works with
the projector.
Encouragement section!
