Midterm Exam

Your Bucket List

A “Bucket List” is a list of things you would like to do with your life before you “kick the bucket” (before you die). Maybe you want to learn French or travel to Africa. Maybe you want to paint a picture or meet someone famous. Maybe you want to climb a mountain or swim the English Channel. I made a bucket list when I was nine years old and there are almost 300 items on it now! It is really fun and a great way to make dreams and goals for your life. For your midterm, you will come up with your own bucket list and present in a PPT, five things that are on your bucket list.

You will be required to:

?Think up five things that you want to put on your bucket list.

?Make a PPT slideshow with photos, videos, and examples to show to the class.

?Extra fun!! You must complete something on your bucket list for the exam!

The five goals should be:

1.Something that you can complete before the exam and present on.

2.Something you want to do while you are in college.

3.Something you would like to do in the next 10 years.

4. A once in a lifetime goal

5.Anything else you want!

Your midterm is worth 20% of your final grade. You will be graded on:

Content (5 points)

?Creativity (choose interesting things to do/see/try)

?Vocabulary, terms, research

?PPT presentation and length (5-10 minutes)

Body Language (5 points)

?Stand with confidence—do not look nervous!

?Look your classmates and your teacher in the eye when giving your presentation.

?Do not just read off of the screen

?Have good energy!!

Oral English (10 points)

?You speak slowly, clearly, and confidently—we want to understand you!

?Very few pauses and mistakes.

?Pronunciation

?Try to be memorized. We don’t want you to be reading off the screen…

BORING!!

This exam will take at least one class period to complete so please be prepared and on time (if you are late, you will lose points!). Our exam will be on Monday, November 3rd.

This is exam is meant to be fun and give you a chance to think about your life and what you want to do with it. Choose interesting things to talk about and dream about! The more creative you are, the better!

Have fun! Good luck! And let’s make some goals!
