Explanation:

Record a 9- to 11-minute presentation based on your close reading of "The Oval Portrait" by Edgar Allan Poe that answers one of the topic questions listed in the project.

Do an initial reading of "The Oval Portrait" based on your first reading and choose a question to answer in your presentation.
Do a close reading of the story in order to answer your topic question. Analyze aspects of the story that are relevant to your question, such as the historical and literary context of its author, the story's plot or themes, or the author's word choices, style, and tone.
Formulate a thesis statement that answers your topic question.
Write an outline of your presentation that includes:
an introduction in which you state your thesis
a body, in which you present evidence to support your thesis
a conclusion that summarizes your evidence and restates your thesis
As you prepare your outline, reread the story as many times as needed to gather evidence from the text that supports your position. Write down quotations you'll use in your presentation. Use information you learned earlier in this unit, too.
Rehearse your presentation thoroughly until you can speak smoothly but naturally. Do not write out or read your presentation word-for-word. Read quotations to make sure they're exact, but use your own words for the rest of the presentation.
Record your presentation. Follow your outline and introduce your evidence appropriately while using cue words to help your audience understand the organization of your ideas. Your teacher may ask you to submit your outline.
Refer back to the rubric provided in the project to evaluate your performance before submitting it.

Thinking back to that presentation in the library makes me smile. What started out as three high school boys skipping class turned out to be the most significant event in our lives. If we had made it to the gym that day instead of the library, more than likely the streets would have swallowed us in the next few years. We never would have become doctors. Every­thing we needed to start on the road to success was included in one forty-five-minute presentation. And we almost missed it.

This was the first time that a path to my dreams was shown to me. Deep inside, I knew I could accomplish anything if given the chance. I just didn't know how to find that opportunity. That presentation showed me the possibility of reaching goals I had only dared to dream about. I think if a person dreams hard enough, sometimes a door will open to make that dream come true. Of course, it helps to be prepared to go through the door when the opportunity arises. We almost missed it.

We also had no idea that day that we were forming a pact that would last a lifetime. We just knew that somehow each of us individually might fail, but the strength of the three of us together just might be enough to succeed.

—We Beat the Street,

Sampson Davis et alBased on the central ideas and details from the passage, write one to three sentences summarizing how the three friends changed and stayed the same after seeing the presentation.

on the road. It was estimated that seatbelts saved about 14,000 lives in the year 2015.
