INTERNSHIP FAIR KEYNOTE PRESENTATION

Keynote Presentation
Unless you have the same kind of computer that the school has, you will not be able to work on the Keynote at home. That means you need to use every minute of the seven class periods you'll have to work on the keynote and the presentation board. BUT what you can do at home is write the words that are going to be put into those slides on a piece of paper and then when you get to the computers at school, type them into the appropriate slides. Another idea is to type the words into an email and send it to yourself to copy and paste from later. The bottom line is that you need to work efficiently and carefully so that by Wednesday, June 10, all you'll need to do is practice presenting your keynote and presentation board.

Below are the keynote slide requirements. You do not need to create a blog post for this. You will however need to create a presentation board to accompany your slide. Examples are all around the room.

-Cover slide – Title, name, date

Title examples
= My Internship, Sean's Internship, An Internship at ...(name of your site), My Internship Experience, Springtime, International Style, Springtime, Internship Style, 12 Weeks in the Life of High School Intern, etc. You have creative freedom here.


-Name of Site; Description of Internship site – refer to your blog post

Description should include what kind of business it is, where it is located

-Pictures of the site -- if you never managed to take pictures, find some on the internet if possible

-Description of duties -- make a bulleted list for this. Word -- description.

-Pictures of you working -- if you never took picture, find some on the internet of people doing the same kind of work you did

-Description of a typical day -- look at your daily post entries and use examples from that to create a generic work day.
Time arrived
What you did that was familiar
What you might have done that was new or different
Something else that may have happened
Time departed for home


-A challenge you faced, and how you over came it

-7 Vocabulary words and meanings related to your site -- make a bulleted list. word -- description

-Description of mentor (Picture would be great!) -- name, title, who they are, where from, what they do, what they are like, etc.

-Excerpts or highlights from your interview -- describe who you interviewed and why and pick two of their answers that were meaningful and include them in the slide

-Important Excerpts from Midpoint and Final reflections -- choose three questions and answers that you feel are significant from these two posts. You can include more questions and answers if you wish.

-Your Resume with new internship experience added and highlighted -- Make sure you know where your resume is (server, thumb drive) If you can not find your resume, start one asap

-Advice for a future intern -- What advice would you give to an intern who had this same internship site next year? Consider challenges you faced or difficulties you had that could have been avoided if someone had given you advice a year ago.

-Conclusion - Overall evaluation of the internship experience. Consider these questions: Did you like it? Why or why not? Did you get anything out of it? Should we have future classes do this? Why or why not?
