Today's Goals

Today's Goals

  • Reflect and integrate learning from learning community courses, including development of critical thinking skills, social and/or personal responsibility.

FYS Discussion & Plan

What is the First Year Symposium?

A public display of writing/composing/creation/argument/research by first-year students at the end of their first term. Like a giant science fair, First-Year Symposium requires all first-year students to create something, based on written work, that uses media, technology, and/or creative presentation to display their research projects for a mixed, general, academic audience.

Let's Practice!

With your group, get out a sheet of paper:

  • Begin Brainstorming How you plan to present for FYS

    • Think about "VISUAL RHETORIC"

      • In what ways can you non-verbally cue your audience?

        • Who is your audience?

        • Why should they care about your presentation?

    • Think about "Creative Illustration"

      • In what ways can you effectively engage your audience?

      • How do you plan to lay out your Tri-Fold Board?

      • What about your video and other visual effects?
