Thanks to everyone for doing research for your groups and working on your outlines today. As you're continuing to prepare for the big performance day on Monday, you might want to keep a few things about your ethos in mind:
-Stay in character! You'll be more convincing to your peers if you seem invested in the argument you're presenting. If you don't care about what you're saying, chances are that they won't either. And if you've ever spoken in front of a class before, you know it sucks when the class isn't paying attention to what you say. While you prepare your statements, think: What would a real teacher be likely to say? What would someone who thinks like an educational psychiatrist want to emphasize in her presentation? etc...
-Work with your group! If your group seems scattered and doesn't present a united front, then it may detract from your believability in your presentation.
-Be interesting! Feel free to crack a few jokes, as long as they're appropriate for the context of the perspective from whom you're speaking. You can also wear something appropriate for the person you're representing to spice up your personal presentation.

When you're doing your presentation, I'll be paying attention to your professionalism, ability to work together (or at least look like you are!), clarity of articulation of the ideas you're presenting, and your ability to seem interested and dedicated to your cause.

As always, let me know if you have questions.
