 * Am I speaking loudly and clearly?
 * Am I choosing my words carefully to express myself?
 * Am I using appropriate body language and posture?
 * Am I avoiding reading my slides word for word?

Here are some important details to remember:
 * The presentation schedule is listed on the classroom whiteboard.
 * All volunteers will go first. It is always favorable to volunteer!
 * You must be ready to present when it is your turn. If not, your turn will be skipped that day and you will receive a 10 point deduction on your presentation grade. You will be at the top of the lineup the next day.
 * You must turn in your self-evaluated rubric prior to your presentation. No rubric, no presentation.
 * You will be assigned to evaluate a peer. Again, you must be ready to evaluate when it is your turn. Again, not ready, a 10 point deduction.
