Icebreaker 

Short, 15 - 30 minute, activities that get campers ready for our daily activity and major projects. Icebreakers include games like charades, tongue twisters, telephone game, and more.

"Press Record" - Students were given 2 minutes to go over the bullet points of their speech. Sounds easy, but we threw our class camera on record so students could practice their speech, watch the footage, and get feedback to edit their presentations. This is the second time we've done this exercise in order to prep the students for their presentation in 2 weeks. 

Daily Activity 

Presentation Discussion - The who, what, when, where, how's, and why's of our presentations were discussed. As we get closer to the last day of class and towards our presentation, students will need to be confident in their speech as well as their speaking skills. We'll go over each student's presentation and begin to make final edits to the presentations.  

Major Project 

After our Daily Activity, students will take the feedback they received and modify their Major Projects and begin to put their final touches on their drafts before finalizing them in a few weeks. Students reminded their presentation takes place Tuesday December 6th, 2016 at 430pm. Reminders will be placed throughout IQuest and given to students so they may pass out to family, other IQuest classmates, and friends.

"Endings" - Students get a minute and a half to come up with a short story to go with a random ending given by the instructor. Students must keep fillers to a minimum, and make sure their story flows without confusing the audience. Students must complete the beginning and middle portions of the story! 

Daily Activity 

Practice Speech

Students will take 5 to 7 minutes and practice what they have on their speech so far. The goal is to practice speaking in front of the audience with the material they've prepared, feel how their speech feels to give to an audience, and gain audience feedback before their final presentation in a few weeks.
