How Adults Can Support This Page

  1. Check final build evidence and presentation outline together so the story matches the actual work.
  2. Confirm date, period, room, technology, artifacts, and make-up needs before practice begins.
  3. Ask students to revise the outline from mentor feedback before they memorize or decorate slides.

Review The Story

The mentor should understand the project overview, CTE connection, process, outcome, growth, and likely questions.

Confirm Logistics

A good project can still stumble if the room, time, device, display, artifact, or audience plan is unclear.

Practice Next

After this meeting, the student should practice out loud and refine the opening, transitions, and evidence points.
