STATE-ORAL PRESENTATION

We culminated our state studies with an oral presentation given by each student at the end of the year.  They could dress up, sing, dance, share food...whatever it took to SELL THEIR STATE.  The goal was to have their peers vote to visit their state.  This project took two days to complete.  What else are you doing the last few days of the year?  We divided the states in half and had the presentations done in ABC order.  The students had a blast.  The only rule: You cannot share your state project folder.  (Some students would tend to show their year's work, which didn't hold the attention of the classes.)

Student Voting Ticket.  This can be handed in the end of the presentations.  You need to encourage students to vote for the best they saw, not their friend's state!
