Presentation Outline

 For your class presentation, please prepare a 5 minute speech on a historical place in California of your choosing.

Preparation. You will need to:

• Choose a place that has some historical significance. 
• Get confirmation from me that your place is suitable (if you emailed me and not heard back, it is fine)
• Visit the place and get as much information as possible as to why it is important and what role it has played in California's history and development. 
• Speak to people who work at the site to get information.
• Take pictures while you are there that you may show in class.

A good presentation will include:

• a clearly delivered, spoken presentation that is 4 to 5 minutes long (no more, no less)
• details and information about the place and its importance.
• do not depend on Powerpoint for your presentation. 
• You may show a couple of pictures or maps to show the place you are presenting.

 Notes: you may choose a place that we are already discussing in class. This is fine. However, if you do this, make sure your presentation focus' on some aspect of the place that we have not discussed. There are many suitable places and topics nearby. You do not need to plan a faraway trip to do this assignment. If you are having trouble deciding on a topic, please see me asap.
