 I.    Begin preliminary identification of Presentation Capstone elements.

a&b) My Capstone project presentation will definitely be more informational than anything. I hope to have enough copies of my curriculum syllabus to hand out to anyone interested. My visual aids will be the Powerpoint Presentation, and the rest of the objects I will be using (including my poster) will be strictly for advertising and attracting attention as well as sponsors to sponsor my project. It will be very formal with the exception of a few jokes to recapture attention.

i. My Capstone project will not be using any kind of explanatory props other than my poster, my power point, my syllabus copies, and myself. I don't see a need for explanatory props. My project has a very abstract concept that can only be represented with verbal communication and talking and actual activity, not with a model I can particularly point at with little bits of information.

ii. I will present it the way all posters are presented: by the bullet. I have a lot of information on my poster that will most likely be replicated--in a way--in my powerpoint presentation, and by making references in both directions, I hope my project sticks out most. Repetition is the key to memorization, which is why most advertisements that play over and over are more likely to stick in your head. My presentation is somewhat the same way with information that is meant to be stuck in your head.

 iii. I don't particularly see a need or reason to fabricate a 3D model of some sort. If anything, I will definitely print out extra copies of my curriculum syllabus, which is kind of like a model. My project has a very abstract concept that can only be represented with verbal communication and talking and actual activity, not with a model I can particularly point at with little bits of information.

 iv. I hope to portray either as a daycare caretaker or a business woman because either I will teach this concept as a teacher would teach it or I would pitch it as a business deal--I still have yet decided. I am more likely to wear a business suit, however, because it is much more convenient and in a way, this presentation will kind of be like a business presentation. I will not be talking to toddlers the way I hope the daycare will be doing, so I think this dress code would be much safer.

 v. I definitely hope to emphasize the fact that extroverted personalities are much more preferred in low-context cultures because it is a concept not very many people can easily grasp, thinking that the introvert has better work ethic and such. I hope to also emphasize the fact that personalities are still malleable before the age of 5, which is exactly why I hope to propose this idea to daycares rather than other kinds of schools.

vi.    no.

vii.    None.
