Ideal America Presentations, Day 1: December 15, 2017

Focus: What American ideals do we share?

1. Sharing the presentation order with you and establishing a timer

2. Offering you a few thoughts on being a good audience

• Listen. I mean, actually listen (without judgment).

• Respect the speaker's vulnerability, especially when you don't agree with their points.

• Nod. Smile. Be kind to each other. 

• Use the "Note Catcher" to help you find your big and small take-aways.

3. Starting our presentations!

4. Concluding with my final grade math

89.50% = A -
89.49 = B +

79.50% = B -
79/49 = C +

6th hour:
