Minute-by-minute · 80-minute block

💡 Big idea: Presenting to a live audience with evidence-based answers to unexpected questions is the capstone skill of the engineering design process.

  1. 0-10Final logistics: confirm order, timer setup, and panel or peer audience roles
  2. 10-55Presentations: each student or team delivers their full ER design presentation
  3. 55-65Q&A: answer audience questions citing portfolio evidence
  4. 65-72Record peer feedback on clarity and persuasiveness

Mr. Mendoza's 5-minute intro
  • Today is presentation day for Problem 1.
  • You have built a stakeholder map, a patient-flow diagram, a floor-plan prototype, a revision log, and a full research packet.
  • Now you explain it to someone who was not in the room when you made those decisions.
  • Field every question with evidence -- if someone pushes back, your portfolio is your defense.
Do this, step by step
  1. 1Deliver your presentation to the class or panel.
  2. 2Answer questions citing your evidence.
  3. 3Record peer feedback on clarity and persuasiveness.
  4. 4Note one question you could not fully answer.
  5. 5Submit your delivered presentation and feedback notes.
You'll be able to
  • You presented a complete, evidence-based design.
  • You answered questions by citing your own evidence.
Know by the end
  • How to deliver a design presentation that is complete, evidence-based, and stays within the allotted time.
  • How to answer a challenging question by citing your own portfolio evidence rather than guessing.
  • How peer feedback on clarity and persuasiveness improves future presentations.
Do the work

Your PLTW work today

Open this PLTW section today

Evidence-based revision, Q&A, intro to physiology research design. · ER presentation

Day 3 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.

Do this: Open Problem 1 in your myPLTW course shell and locate the presentation submission or portfolio checkpoint activity to confirm all Problem 1 deliverables are complete.

Complete

Mark the presentation activity complete in your tracker after delivering and submitting all materials.

How far to get

Problem 1 research, design, prototype, and revision work are all done; today is the live presentation that closes Problem 1.

Upload as evidence

Delivered presentation, peer feedback notes, and a written note on the one unanswered question submitted to Schoology.

All PLTW activities are completed inside the PLTW course environment — this page only gives direction. Submit producibles on Schoology.

The plan

Today's PLTW tracker

Check things off as you work, then submit. This tells Mr. Mendoza how you're doing so he can help the class. It does not replace turning in your producible on Schoology.
