Your presentation may be a poster, video, book, collage, or digital slide show. It may include photographs, drawings, artifacts, and words. Your presentation must include a timeline of events in your life. It should include information about what makes you unique inside and out. Your presentation is due on Friday, September 4th. You can bring it to your in person classroom or turn it in to your teacher online.
