2. Prepare Your Scientist Presentation
On November 3, you’ll be doing a 5-minute presentation on a scientist. That’s NEXT WEEK!
If you need to check who you chose, check HERE.
Presentation Guidelines
- 5 minutes or less
- Must be engaging/interesting (DON’T BE BORING!)
- Examples of previous presentations:
- Short activity
- Puppet show
- Short skit
- Video/animation
- Playing a game
- Practice your presentation before you come to class! Make sure it works and is less than 5 minutes.
3. Write a Paragraph about Your Scientist
Write 1 paragraph about your scientist using the format we’ve been practicing in class
Do NOT write a summary of the person’s life. Instead, focus on making a claim and then proving it.
Step 1: Make a claim about the person (based on your research).
Examples:
- Jim Thorpe was the most well-rounded athlete that ever lived.
- Eleanor Roosevelt was as comforting to the American people during the Great Depression as her husband.
- Steve Jobs forever changed the way we use computers.
Step 2: Write a paragraph that supports your claim. Make sure you have a topic sentence, evidence and analysis, and a connection back to the claim. Your paragraph should be between 5-10 sentences long.
Follow the traditional paper format and the handout example you were given in class.
