Dear Classes:

Welcome to Finals!  Below is a list of each group that will presenting according to class period:

Period 1

Period 2

Period 4

Period 8

The final should take about 7-8 minutes each presentation (10 minutes total each for "set up" of your Presentation.  Please pick up a scoring guide on your way in.  Put your name on the top and hand it to the "recorder" of the group when you do your presentation.  Put the names of everyone who is jointly grading the project on the top.  Lack of participation points will be taken away from your project if you refuse to help grade others projects but yours gets graded!

All final PowerPoints and Presentations need to be uploaded into your file.  If it is not in your shared folder, you will get half the points that the group gives you!!!!!!!!

I have a resume test/evaluation that I need you to complete...Five parts of a resume and then demonstrate you know what they are...

Today, Citations, Table of Contents, and Title Slide 

There should be at least 24 slides and this does not include the "Table of Contents" or the "Citation Page"!  I have seen very little progress with some of you which will warrant an "F" for your final.
