Wednesday - Draft #2

Warm-Up:

QOTD: Follow the link and define the 4 components to an effective outline.

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/544/01/

4 Components for effective outlines:

1. Parallelism
2. Coordination
3. Subordination
4. Division

Part 1:

Create an outline for your presentation script. This should closely resemble your path (in the order of things you talk about). We are going to practice presenting in the next few weeks. So these outlines will be very useful for creating more confidence from the speaker.

Tips:

Do not write in your script exactly what you wrote in your prezi. If your prezi is light on words you should add MORE detail to your script. If your prezi is word heavy, think about where you could summarize.

1. QOTD (Question of the day - post on your blog): retrace your steps to complete your rough draft of your prezi. What have been your greatest challenges in using this new software? What has come easy to you?
