During the holidays: Checklist

 
Here are your priorities for Night of Notables in the Term 3 Holidays (in order):
  1. Finish your mini-biography, extended biography, timeline, collection of quotes and ensure I have seen them or they are ready for me to see. 
  2. Proofread ALL of your work. The aim is to create a display without any spelling or punctuation errors! 
  3. Start writing your speech. If you are ahead, practise your speech for an audience (for example: your family) and ask for their feedback. Attempt to memorise your speech!
  4. Make a plan for your display.
  5. Make a collection/shopping list for your display.
  6. Start making your display!
  7. Consider your costume, start organising it.

Q. Help! I am nervous about creating a display!
