This is the 41st activity in the Maximum Impact Sequence. This provides time for students to prepare for their final presentations. We estimate students will need anywhere from 1-2 hours of prep so feel free to break out this activity into a few shorter periods as you see fit. This activity should take you 10-20 minutes to set up and should take students 1-2 hours to complete.

- Finalize their Project Presentations (based on the Project Templates they've been working on previously)

Advanced Preparation
Watch this video...
Which elaborates on the following:
- Decide whether you want this activity to be broken out across multiple sessions or as one.
- Decide whether you want this activity to be group or individual work sessions or a hybrid of the two.
- If you are planning to create groups, be prepared to assign students into groups and provide them a means to connect (whether via Google Classroom Video, etc.). We recommend group sizes of 3-5 students.
- Decide how long you'd like the students' final presentations to be and let them know in your email so that they can best prepare. We recommend 4-5 minutes per student presentation.
- Determine the schedule for when students will be presenting their final projects.
- Select a reflection prompt from the list below for students to email you at the end of this activity:
- How has your project template improved since last time?
- Which sections of your project template do you need the most work on?
- What is the biggest barrier in completing your project template and presentation?
