For this project, you will research a person who you feel has been
successful in their life. You must be ready to present the
information about your successful person beginning ________ (choose
a date 4 weeks away. We will do these presentations for 3 days.
Names will be drawn from a box each day to see who will present and
in which order. Your grade will drop 10 points for each day you are
not ready. Since you don’t know when you’ll be called, you’ll need
to bring everything in on that first day. I will store your props
and posters so that they will be available when you’re picked.
