Narrative Self-Assessment

A reminder that your narrative self-assessments are due on Thursday.

Also, please make sure that I have your annotated bibliography by that time as well.

Presentations of Completed Projects

From Thursday, December 2 through Tuesday, December 14, members of our seminar will make presentations of their completed projects. This is an opportunity for each of you to tell the story of your inquiry and to share your insights and discoveries in an engaging way.

1. Gather the evidence of your work, including your project journal, annotated bibliography, and other writings, work samples, etc.

2. Review your work to date, with particular attention to the scope and depth of your exploration. Consider how your ideas have grown, how the focus of your project has shifted (or not), how you’ve overcome obstacles, and how you’ve deepened your grasp of your subject.

3. Think about the story you have to tell. (What have been the highlights of your journey? What have you learned? What is valuable in what you’ve discovered? How do you plan to make use of your findings?)

4. Write an outline or list of talking points.

5. Pull together any visual or auditory aids that will help you to tell the story of your project.

6. Rehearse your presentation. (Your presentation should be about 10-15 minutes in length. Please do not exceed 15 minutes.)
