Activity #1 
"How to" Demonstrations

Directions:

Create a step by step presentation to teach the class "How to do something that is meaningful to you.

Tips to choose a good topic:

• Be sure your demo is something that has steps
• Think about the things that you do on a daily basis
• foods (Ex: PB & J, Pancakes, cookies, Cotton candy, brownies, Grilled cheese, a family favorite treat, etc) 
• Crafts (Friendship bracelets, rubber band bracelets, etc)
• Hobby related things
• Games: Board games, Card Games, etc
• Hair - Braiding, French braid, fishtail bread, etc

Things to avoid:

• playing a sport, or sports moves
• Any complex movements
• Drawing
• Doing something that doesn't have steps
• Tiktok Dances
• Things that are too easy or too hard
• Things that will be too short or too long (demos should be about 5 - 7 minutes)
• Nothing to do with apps or phones

Drafting Steps For "How To" Demonstrations

Step 1: Create a list of materials/ingredients you will need

Step 2: Write out the steps for your "How To" Demonstrations. Be specific.

Step 3: Evaluate your draft with the help of a friend. Ask yourself if your steps are precise enough that any person could use the procedures you wrote up to successfully perform your "How To"

While you are working I will be having you sign up for a day to present your "How to" demo. It will be your responsibility to bring in the materials you need on, or before, the day of your demonstration.
