Students:

A couple reminders--
*While your research ESSAY'S score will go on 4th quarter, the PRESENTATION aspect will be going on 3rd Quarter
*Presentations MUST be shared with Mrs. Topham (alyssa.topham@jordandistrict.org) prior to your presentation time.
*Those of you who have signed up for a time before/after school, or during MAP, you MUST remember to come in at your appointed time. NO make-up time will be offered. 
*If you do not sign up for a time, you will be called on during class. If you refuse to present at that time, your presentation WILL NOT be accepted.
*This presentation will be worth 75 points, and will be the "final" for 3rd Quarter.
