Oral Presentations - Recent Questions & Answers
Q1: Can the presentation notes on the 3x5 index cards be written on computer, and then printed out and glued to the note card?
A1: Index cards - yes, you can print and paste to cards.
Q2. Regarding the note that says "visuals cannot include pictures, charts, and other graphics printed directly from any resource materials". Does that just mean the resource materials linked from the KS Envirothon website? or does that mean any website reference that we use? I wasn't sure if it might be requiring that we hand write and draw everything.
A2: Visuals - Any resource materials includes resources from any website your team uses (not just KS Envirothon). Yes, it is requiring that your team hand write and draw everything. That is the same as the Canon Envirothon competition.
Q3. Can the references that we use be shown on one of our visual aids so that we don't waste presentation content time reading all the references that we will use?
A3: Yes, your references can be a visual aid if you choose.
