  2. Does the presentation clearly show the inquiry questions, findings, and conclusions and include sufficient evidence to support your key points?

  3. Is the presentation interesting and powerful, thus engaging the audience?

  4. Does the presentation fit within the 5–7 minute requirement of the task, also allowing for a few questions from the audience? If not, do you need to consider removing or adding information?
