iShowcase Student Review

6th and 7th Grade Teachers:

After reviewing the slides and answering questions take a few minutes to let students set up their computers in your room so that they can present.

If your room is presenting first go over presentation reminders one more time.

If your room is the audience first give every student 3 stickies to be able to leave with their presenters. On each sticky they will need to write one positive comment and one piece of feed back. Go over the audience expectations one more time. Remind students to bring their stickies and pens/pencils with them!
