Above and Beyond
In order to meet my expectations for "Takes initiative to go beyond
requirements," each student must present two Above and Beyond projects
during each nine week grading period unless otherwise stated in class.
An Above and Beyond presentation can be on any topic of interest to the
student.
The student must have prepared and practiced the presentation at home. They
will time at least one of their "practices" so they can tell me how long
their presentation will take.
The Above and Beyond presentation must have some kind of visual aid to go
with it.
The student must sign the Above and Beyond book in the classroom
after they have presented their Above and Beyond project.
I reserve the right to ask a student to practice a presentation more and
present their Above and Beyond the next week.
Don't wait until the last two weeks of the grading period to do your Above
and Beyond projects!
