f you've taught for any time what so ever, you've probably suffered through painfully boring student presentations. And if you were bored, think of the other students. Let’s strive to make such presentations are:
More attractive
More engaging
Less time-consuming
More interactive
In order to create such presentations, your kids must first run the gauntlet.
According to various sources, fifteen to twenty words is the average sentence length. That seemed long, till I actually wrote a sentence:
When I was in high school, I would have laughed uproariously
if anyone had informed me that I was destined to be a teacher. (24 words)
This will be a wonderful challenge for your students. They may revolt. Not only is it important to reduce the number of words, the limit will also hopefully dissuade copying and pasting. This awful practice flirts with plagiarism and makes for exceedingly dull presentations as students drone the words of another.
