You did a fabulous job with your Last Lecture Presentations today! Many of you were well-prepared for this big day. So many costumes were solid representations of the historic figures you represented and you really characterized your subject well. Mrs. Pluta and I were impressed. Many of you had good insight into your figures and put together meaningful words of advice. While the presentations lasted longer than we had anticipated, you were flexible with the schedule change. From that crazy Mongolian's opening yell, to George Washington's powdery hair and Dodge Charger, so many of you stepped up to this challenge by overcoming nervousness, stepping out of yourselves and into the life of someone you've never met, and taking chances in front of a big group. Hopefully, for some of you, this project is proof that you can accomplish anything you want with a little thought and effort!
A special thanks to our IMT juniors, Chris and Victoria, for filming the presentations. Can't wait to see how that came out!
I had to retype...I had a typo!
ReplyDeleteI agree! We were blown away by several presentations. Now that it's all finished (and it's really finished) aren't you glad? You read a book (mostly), wrote a college-level paper (although we haven't read all of them yet, so the jury is still out), and gave some amazing presentations. You are all capable students and we are very proud of you!
