Please check out the video

https://www.dropbox.com/s/w30jbr9tj2bomfq/Nora%27s%20TY%20year%20%282%29.wmv


Please check out this video - this is from the end of year presentation last year - from our TY student of the year - you will be required to complete a 5 mininute presentation like this - if not better - at your end of year interview. You can start working on it now at the start of the year and you can add different bits in then as you go along. There will be different teachers along the way who will help you. This presentation will be in addition to your portfolio, scrap book and any other activities that you will complete along the way. So get working and I expect to see some excellent presentations at the end of the year - your presentaion can take any format - but it true to say that you would probably have to complete it on some kind of computer format.

read again - interview info

The following table must be added into your 5 minute presentation at the very start so each presentation must include the table below (down as far as name/class). U simply add the table as below and then fill in your answers down the side. It is very important that u answer all questions honestly.
From the assembly yesterday I made a few changes in terms of awarding marks and taking marks away - please let me know what u think - I am trying to reward students for doing things right and also penalise students if they have done wrong - its hard to get it right so please let me know your thoughts - I am open to changes - am sure that u realise this - email me mrdohertyloretoschool@yahoo.ie - u can email me with any ideas/thoughts or u can email me about anything u feel u need to speak to me about - thanks
