Presentation #1: A Person in My Life Who I Admire

 

Who is a person in your life who you admire? Choose one person. It can be anyone: older, younger, a sibling, parent, relative, friend, community member, etc.

This week, you will put together a short presentation around the person. There will be two parts to this project:

 

WRITTEN (2 paragraphs) (6 points)

-A paragraph describing who they are. What is their name, age, etc? Give their background. Explain who they are.

-A paragraph explaining why you admire them. What characteristics do they have that you admire? What do they do that you admire?

 

SPOKEN (3-4,5 minutes) (4 points)

On next Tuesday and Wednesday, you will tell the class about this person and why you admire them. You can come to the front of the class and talk to us. You can take a few written notes in case you forget something. However, no reading.

 

Here are some possible topics to focus on:

Their personality traits

Their life story

Their actions

Things they have said

Their greatest achievements

Their effect on other people

How they compare to other people

When you met this person

Why you chose this person to talk about

Why you admire them

If you’d like to be like them or not

If you think you could be like them or not

 

We will start getting ideas together starting today. We will take some time in the next few classes to organize, write, and polish.

Also, I will teach people how to use a microphone.
