Trilogy Fun

Hello, gentle seniors. We have just under a week left before starting our Trilogy Presentations. A few things to consider:


1. Be in class on your assigned day.
2. Be ready to present on your assigned day, no matter who is or isn't in attendance from your group.
3. Be aware of the clock during your presentation. You get 22 minutes.
4. Be prepared for technology glitches. History has taught us to expect them.
5. Be a courteous audience member.
6. Be formal. Transitions should look prepared; no giggle-box, please.
7. Be compelling. Your purpose is to provide us with some kind of interest. This is not a book report.
8. Be confident. You are an AP senior. Give us the goods.
9. Be scholarly. There is nothing wrong with depth.
10. Be excited. This is the last thing you will do for high school English.


Tick, tock.
