RLS 122 - Perspectives on Leisure

Assignment 7 - Your Lifestyle Oral Presentation
50 points (6% of course grade) 

Introduction:

	The oral presentation of your lifestyle prescription for happiness provides a valuable experience for everyone.  For the presenter, it is the process of sharing, affirming, and asserting one's own individualized life plan for happiness.  For the listener, it provides insight to the uniqueness we all possess as creative, productive, thinking individuals with hopes and dreams for future happiness and success.  It also provides a special opportunity to learn from one another as each of your fellow class members reveal how they perceive leisure in their own lives.

Instructions:

	When you develop the oral presentation from the highlights of your Lifestyle Prescription paper, make an outline or prepare note cards.  When you present, do not read from your paper.  Your oral presentation should be from 8 to 10 minutes in length.  Any presentation falling less than 8 minutes will be heavily penalized and will automatically downgraded to a C as a maximum grade.  Be professional.  Be well prepared.  Practice your presentation so it will be all inclusive, flow smoothly, and reflect the best that you can do. Integrate your Life Line exercise into your presentation as a visual aid to complement your discussion.  Do not make your Life Line discussion a separate presentation in and of itself.

	1.  Begin by thoroughly discussing your new definition of leisure.  Discuss the background research sources that you utilized as part of writing Assignment #5.  

	2.  Discuss your evolving lifestyle and how you want it to evolve and develop in 
the future.  Use your Life Line as an effective visual aid for this discussion.

	3. Discuss your career choice(s) and your expected work/leisure relationship(s).

	4.  Finally, discuss how aspects of this course helped you develop new perspectives which aided and will continue to aid in your lifestyle enhancement now and in the future.

	5.  Your place on the presentation schedule will be determined randomly in class unless you would like to volunteer to be a presenter on the first scheduled day of presentations.
