Please find the instructions below for your Stock Transaction Project. In order to allow you to have time to prepare for your presentations. Email if you have any questions before I see you next.
Presentations will be delivered in class on March 11th, 14th and 15th. Links to the Presentation should be submitted in the form before March 10th at 11:59pm.
Presentation on several completed trades in our Stock Market Challenge
Among the members of your team, compose a presentation (Google Doc, ZohoShow, Prezi, or otherwise shared online {cannot require downloading}) that explains the following information about several stock purchases that your team made. You will be responsible to present on one purchase for every person that you have on your team. Therefore if your team is composed of 2 people, you will need to present 2 different stock purchases. The presentation will be delivered during class on March 16th and 17th. The order will be decided by a random drawing.
Although you may use a variety of presentation tools, a link to the completed product must be submitted using the form below by March 10th by 11:59 p.m. EST, there will be a participation grade given for simply sharing the presentation link on time. Please title your work in the following way: Per # - Team # - Stock Presentation.
Presenters must not read directly from the slides. They should know what is written on the slides in advance of the delivery of the presentation. Presentation should be smooth, and one overall presentation and not broken into fractured parts. Your two (or three) companies need to be explained in one single presentation.
Practicing the presentation and delivering the information in a clear and concise way will allow groups to earn the most possible amount of points.
