Next Wednesday 12 November students in our class, working individually or in pairs, will present the result of their Genius Hour research on careers as part of our study on Health and Career Education.
Students will make a 2-minute presentation, accompanied by a poster, and repeat that 2-minute presentation about 12-15 times. Presenters will have an audience of one or two people, and will be held to the 2-minute time limit.
During that time they need to show some enthusiasm for their chosen career, talk a bit about the educational/training/talent required to get into that career, what the good parts about that career might be, and what some of the challenges might be. Most importantly, we'd like the student to know something of the habits, likes, traits, or skills a person would need to embody to succeed in that career.
Their poster should have a title, names of presenter(s), a drawing or two relevant to the career, and a number of point form notes or a bulleted list of about 5 important points that would be covered in the talk. Border? Background colour? Layout? That is up to the student to decide.
Finally, students should have some small symbol or other 3D object or toy that represents the chosen career. A toy airplane for a Pilot; a calculator for an accountant; perhaps a paint brush for an artist.
Below is the evaluation sheet I'll use when I look at the poster and the presentation.
