*Academic Show & Tell: The College Edition w/Research: Extemporaneous Delivery

You will research and show 3 different objects (choose items that most others don’t have)

(that means no iphones, ipods, car keys, headphones, laptops, etc.)

Each one will represent a different side of you (we want to get to know you )

The research you present will be interesting (& the research will NOT be about you)

In your conclusion, you will articulate these 3 different sides with 3 adjectives

See Prof K’s example on Brightspace.

This is a condensed example. I expect yours to be expanded so it looks detailed and aesthetically pleasing, on one full page. I expect that you have practiced 3-4x so you sound rehearsed, but not memorized, and that you know you are within the time requirements. Be sure that your practice sessions limit ‘likes’ and other fillers. Your presentation should leave us wanting to know more about you, ideally inspiring us.

Great presentations are like magic – always leave your audience wanting more 🙂

*How to Find an Academic Journal

1) Go to SCCC Homepage @ www.sunysuffolk.edu

2) Click on “Quick Links”
3) Click on “Library”
4) Click on “Advanced Search”
5) Put in one of your topics into ‘OneSearch” and click “Search”
6) On right hand side, click on arrow that says “Available at SCCC” & click on

“Peer-reviewed Journals”

7) Confirm that your article has the purple book emblem that says “PEER REVIEWED”

8) Click on article title

9) Click on “Full text” – (may need to click on more than one screen to read it)

I know these are not easy to read. I want you all to know how to do it, so when you go to a four-year school and may not be allowed to use anything BUT peer-reviewed, you all know how to do it.
