Dear Families,
You are invited to attend our Westward Expansion presentations on Tuesday, May 23rd, at 8:15 a.m. in the Randall cafeteria. We hope you will be able to attend!
These presentations will be based on the research and writing that students have done in school, but the presentation will need to be done at home. There are many many choices for how students can present, it is very open ended to allow students to use their own talents and preferences when deciding how to present. The requirement is that the student presents their information in a visually appealing way. Here are some things that students could do, but these are only possibilities, students can come up with other great ideas.

If your child doesn’t know what one of those formats is, don’t chose that one! The presentation needs to be relevant to the topic. If your student studied clothing, for example, their visual presentation should be on clothing. If your student studied Lewis and Clark, their visual should be about Lewis and Clark. At school the students are preparing all the research they should need in their paper, they simply need to transfer it to another format for presentation purposes. Students should also be prepared to convey this information to people observing their presentation. They should be able to clearly verbalize and share what they know and have learned! We’ve talked with the students about the value of making the presentation interactive. While this is not a requirement, it engages the audience and is a way students can go beyond expectations.
We are requesting that all visuals be brought to school on Wednesday, May 17th, so that we can make sure we are organized and ready to present!
Thank you for your support,
Mrs. Shorette, Ms. Sugar, Mrs. Hamel and Ms. Leah
