Due Thursday, June 6
Dear Parents,
We’ve been studying animals. Your child has learned about a favorite
animal’s characteristics, habitat, lifecycle, defenses, food, and more. He/she is working on or has finished a
PowerPoint presentation that will be shared with the class. The notes he/she took were copied and are
attached to this packet. Students need
to prepare a speech (using sentences) to inform others about what they’ve
learned. An introduction and conclusion
need to be thought out.
Students are also working on writing a report about their
animal. Most are at the revising and
editing stage or working on the final copy.
Please work with your child so he/she will be successful
presenting what he/she has learned. An
extra half hour this week on this should be plenty of time. Your child needs to be prepared to present beginning
on June 6, 2013.
I will be scoring:
Ideas and Content—Clear topic, many details, keeping the audience’s attention, accurate
information, creative presentation
Organization—Strong,
creative introduction and conclusion,
clear purpose, smooth flow, details in order, and interesting
Language—Word choice precise and vivid, creative language
for clear understanding, correct grammar
Delivery—Eye contact,
speaking clearly, varied voice in speed, tone and volume, fluent voice,
facial expression, gestures, and body movements
Remember PRACTICE,
PRACTICE, and PRACTICE!!!
Thank you for your help.
