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)
Paragraph 1
-A paragraph describing who they are. What is their name, age, etc? Give
their background. Explain who they are.
Paragraph 2
-A paragraph explaining why you admire them. What characteristics do
they have that you admire? What do they do that you admire?
You will give me the two paragraphs
on the day you do your presentation.
SPOKEN (3-5 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.
