Friday, Sept 13/13 Presentation Topic

Friday the 13th presentations! (Do you know about Friday the 13th?)

Today's presentations will be a little bit different.

1) Double click on the image below to see it more clearly.

2) Choose one famous person (or group) who interests you OR choose a person that is not on the list .(This person must have had a great failure, but then overcame the failure to be very successful.) You can't choose yourself.

3) Do some research. Tell us about the failure and about how the person reacted. What did they do? Did you give up? Did they try harder?

4) What did the person do to become successful?

5) When they talk about the failure now, what do they say? Do they say that it motivated them or depressed them?

6) Tell us about yourself. When did you experience a failure or large setback? How did you overcome this setback.

Lastly, I do not want students to choose the same person. This will be first come first serve. The first to post a comment on this blog claiming a person, will get to present on that person.
