Soc. Studies:  Explore Egypt due tomorrow, Nov. 18. We will begin presentations of the Glogs on Tuesday. Use the weekend to make any changes that you want to on your Glog and then practice a 2-3 minute presentation of your research. Practice speaking with a loud, slow, clear voice. You may use notes. Do NOT memorize your presentation! Be prepared to tell the class the most interesting facts that you found. This is a life skill. Be proactive and put the BIG ROCKS FIRST! Practice in front of an audience. (family, friends, Aunt Penelope, stuffed animals, your dog, etc.)
