October T.U.S.C. Presentations

Our first round of T.U.S.C. presentations were a success!

A few things students can work on for October are:
-practicing at home
-making eye contact with the listeners
-being prepared to present when their name is called

They are also expected to hand in their planning sheet for marks on the day of the presentations.  They should have collected their planning sheet when they chose their roles for this month.


The next round of presentations will be in English and will take place on Monday, October 24th.
