Above and Beyond

 

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.  Examples of Above and Beyonds are:  Power Point Presentations, 
reports about animals, plants, trips the family has taken to sites of 
interest, sports or stars in sports, demonstrations of how to make or cook 
something, etc.

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 include some kind of visual aid. 

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!
