Reminder that your questions, answers to the questions, bibliography, notes, and primary research are all due on June 12th, Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Start thinking about how you will present, as the key thing we will work on for the next two weeks is your presentation! Remember our student-led conferences? We talked about what made that interesting, and the key word is: <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>INTERACTIVE.<\/strong><\/span> When guests are walking around and talking to you and your classmates, they will probably not read an entire essay or watch a whole PowerPoint. They want to hear from you!<\/p>\n<p>So, think of all the interactive ways you could display your information! I know we all feel comfortable doing posters, trifolds, and PowerPoints, but there are other options to consider. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>Remember that the best learning happens when you step outside of your comfort zone a bit and do something different! <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here are some ideas you talked about in class, and each of these can be used to display the awesome information you found and serve as a talking point for you!:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Diagrams,&nbsp;Charts, and&nbsp;Graphs<\/li>\n<li>Website<\/li>\n<li>Comic<\/li>\n<li>Puppet Show<\/li>\n<li>Song (recorded and then have earphones for people to listen to it)<\/li>\n<li>Drama Skit or Dance (videotaped or in person)<\/li>\n<li>Diorama&nbsp;or a Model (in a box, on a cardboard platform, with clay, out of paper, using toys, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Doing an Experiment, live, so people can see it!<\/li>\n<li>Making a game people can play (like a marble maze that can be played, but involves learning about your topic OR a handout that has a game people can play to find out more information.)<\/li>\n<li>Having things people can touch and\/or sample<\/li>\n<li>Brochures and Handouts (Ms. D can photocopy, you just have to make one and then fold the photocopies!)<\/li>\n<li>Stop Motion Video using iPad<\/li>\n<li>Book Creator Brochure on iPad<\/li>\n<li>Puppet Pals Presentation on iPad<\/li>\n<li>Having something people can build or do at your station<\/li>\n<li>iMovie<\/li>\n<li>Art (Painting, Drawings, Sculptures, Poetry)<\/li>\n<li>Business Cards to hand out (with the address for your website, or some key facts you learned)<\/li>\n<li>Decorative items for your station related to your topic (a sign, brochures you found while you did research, a plant, toys from home)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Along with your presentation, your station will have a white cardboard label with your name and topic, and <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">you will need a printed copy of your bibliography where people can see it<\/span>. It can be a good idea to print it out then glue it to a colourful piece of paper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>June 9th SPORTS DAY!<\/strong> Don&#8217;t forget to wear sunscreen and bring lots of water for Sports Day on Friday!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you,<\/p>\n<p>Ms. D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Everyone!
