FYS Workshop

Work on your FYS Presentation in your groups. I am going to come around and check in with your progress...

  • Titles? 

    • Be sure to not have expletive words in your title

  • When are you conferencing with Professor Dre and myself?

  • How is your historical connection?

Presentation Tips

Tips: 

  • Take deep breaths!

  • Write a script for your presentation. Beginning to end for your parts. This definitely does help with understanding how much time you will take to say your part but also that you are addressing what you need to.

  • You are having a conversation with your audience! Do just that...have a conversation. 

  • Be sure to have "sexy" titles on your presentation! 

  • Be sure that you are focusing on historical context...

  • The way you are connecting to your group members is through the theme. 

  • Practice! Practice! Practice!

  • Write our your notes on notecards?

    •  Type up your part on a Word document and print out. Cut the section and paste to a notecard. 

  • Smile!
