Activity #2

How to Present & Judge Research Projects

Presenters:

• Start by Introducing yourself
• Discuss why you chose the topic 
• Share information about the Problem or Issue
• Explain the Causes (or Pros) 
• Explain the Effects (or Cons)
• Present the Solutions - Include your thoughts on the solutions
• Share the graph, chart, or diagram you included
• Tell the judges about your images, and what you are trying to show
• Share your model and discuss what it is all about
• Be prepared to answer questions from the judges

Judges:

• Listen to the presenter share each part of their project
• As they share score them according to each criteria.
• Give them a score from 1 - 5. Be fair with your judging. You should have a reason for each score you give. (Scores are subjective, meaning that they are based partly on your opinion)
• Once you have scored each category ask questions to the presenters about their projects.
• Lastly, make any comments you would like.
• Add up your total points and put the score in the space provided.

Now....

• Find a friend and go to your project in the gym. Practice presenting your project. You will have 6 - 7 minutes to present. Then Switch.
