Show Off Projects!

Show Off Projects!

Hello ELC,

What follows is a working version of the next project upon which you will be working:


Show Off Projects

Here is a definition of Show Off

While, often we think of 'showing off' in a negative way, we can also think of it in terms of teaching and/or sharing.

• Choose a talent or interest that you have that you'd like to demonstrate/teach to us. This could be cooking, crafting, building, coding, gaming, performing, athleticism or anything you feel confident in sharing.
• Prepare a 5 - 10 minute talk/demonstration of your show off  idea
• Provide back ground to how you developed your talent 
• Provide any historical/technical background to this talent that you think we might need to know. (famous examples of this talent, the growth and development of it)
• Your presentation must include a visual component. This could be a video, demo, model, projection, or hands-on inclusion of your audience (we all model with clay for example)
• You are responsible for any materials needed for your presentation, but of course I am happy to help in any way I can if you provide me with enough notice.
• You will submit a written version of your talk to me on the day of your presentation. 

By the end of this week, we will have a sign up sheet where you can sign up for your presentation. We will have 3 classes before the first presentations take place. Between Nov. 14,16,18 is when Day 2 will present and Nov. 15,17, 21 is when Day 1 will present.

Marking Rubrics will follow as we outline the expectations for your Show Off projects. 

They will include various aspects of oral reports, visual demonstrations, and of course, written work.

I very much look forward to seeing you show off   your strange and wonderful talents!

Thanks everyone,

Ms. S
