Nile Academy Research Fair A Presentation to Get You Started
Good News…! We’re having a Research Fair!
Nile Academy Research Fair…what? • It’s a competition, duh! • It’s a chance to explore what you’ve always wanted to study or know. • It’s a fun way to escape the boring classroom and learn independently. • It’s a great way to prepare you for the future.
So, what am I going to do? • This is a mandatory, school-wide assignment. • You will be given a grade of 5% from all four of your classes: DO A GOOD JOB! That’s a total of 20% of your total grades! • You will need to choose a field that you would like to do a project in: mathematics, science, social science, or technology/computers. • You will need to work independently or in pairs.
The GOLDEN Four 1 3 Step 3: Type out your report. Step 1: Find a topic to research. 4 2 Step 2: Do the research and get help. Step 4: Prepare your display board.
The Research Fair • You will be judged by a panel of judges. • You will need to prepare a 5 minute presentation. • You will have to dressed in uniforms that day. • You can call your parents to visit your public viewing. • There will be tons of medals and awards to go around. • There will fun, outdoor activities for half of the day.
