    1. (tests are now only on Fridays, thank you children for making me see the light)
  2. Themes & Thesis were due last Friday, 10/26/12

    2. A complete skeleton of a "B" grade presentation outline [ new! and improved!] is included below the fold.
    3. To earn an "A" check the detailed requirements HERE.
  3. This week you will be working on a rotation of SLIDES and SCRIPTS.
    1. Change the name of your keynote to:
      1. DRAFT - Block ? - Testimonio Keynote - First Lastname
    2. If you know how you want a slide to look like you can describe that first
    3. If you know what you want your audience to hear then write that first.
      1. Either way, once one is done the other will be more apparent.

Testimonio Outline due today!

First off, in my opinion, do NOT got to the OSA haunted house!  
If you told me it was CRAP I would have imagined 
something a hundred times better than what I saw.  
Not scary, poorly done, it blew giant chunks of mediocrity.
 I sincerely hope this is not an indication of the quality of that school because THAT, my friends, would be truly scary!

Now:



Purpose: I will  finish my outline (themes and thesis) and begin my Testimonio Keynote

Agenda:
  1. TypingWeb TEST
  2. Turn in Exhibition Invitation (1PT)
  3. Keynote WORK-TIME (Level 1 conversation)
