During the entire winter term all students are busily preparing for their final oral examination, which is an autobiographical presentation. The requirements are rather straightforward. Based on their individual grade level, each presentation is to be approximately three to seven minutes long. Students are not allowed to read from scripts, but are permitted to have reminder cards. In preparation, all students go through at least three draft scripts, an in-class read-through, and a rehearsal before giving their formal presentations in the last week of February. Here are some of the presentations. Enjoy! Above is a video from the 2010-11 school year featuring Chinese 2 Honors student Michael Gvodas '12.
