The Envirothon Workshop &
presentations will be held March 31, 2011 at
·
The Workshop day is designed to help prepare students for
the Envirothon competition and provide them with an
opportunity to connect with and learn from local natural resource
professionals. At Workshop day, each
team member will choose one Envirothon category
(forestry, soils, aquatics, wildlife or current issue) and attend the workshop
for that specific category.
·
The Workshop day includes an oral presentation by
students in the afternoon. Each team
participating will be required to give a brief, five-minute oral
presentation on this year’s current environmental issue. Each team member is required to speak during
the presentation. The presentation
counts as part of the team’s overall Envirothon
score; it will be added to the team’s overall score on competition day. It is a great chance for students to practice
using their oral presentation skills in a relaxed and non-formal atmosphere.
·
Teachers will receive reference information on this
year’s current topic upon the return of the enclosed registration form. Information on the current issue on which to
base the oral presentation will be sent one month before the workshop (The
State provides oral presentation information no earlier than that date).
·
Team alternates may participate at the Workshop day, although
not during the oral presentation.
·
Final adjustments to a team roster can be made up until
the end of the Workshop day.
