Preparation for Day 4 - aMUSE final presentation (Take Action Project)  tips

In two weeks we will meet for the conclusion of our aMUSE journey.

The girls will be completing their Journey Take Action Project by doing an artistic presentation “busting” stereotypes about girls or women.  They will have about one hour at our session to practice & put finishing touches on their presentations.  Since they may be doing the majority of their planning at home I am including the project requirements for your reference. 
Each presentation must include:
1.   Someone experiencing a stereotype.
2.   Someone recognizing it & proving  or showing that it’s wrong (busting it)
3.   Facts, examples and/or stats if available.
4.   Asking your audience to help busting it – Please help us to encourage girls, to study math, teach a girl a sport, run for office etc.

Please have a conversation with your troop or daughter about the stereotype they chose. Encourage them to look for real life examples, the more facts they have, the better their presentation will be.  They can ask people if they have experienced their stereotype or look for facts and examples online.

Depending on their topic, they can find examples & facts to use in their presentation the aMUSE for Juniors page on this website. http://www.workshops4girls.com/amuse-for-juniors.html

They can also look on my Pinterest site for resources. 
https://www.pinterest.com/workshops4girls/  There is a board dedicated to the aMUSE journey.  If they find things they think should be added there,  Have them send me a pin. My user name is workshop4girls.

Please read this page http://www.workshops4girls.com/amuse-journey-take-action-project.html to understand the scope & purpose of their project.  This project is a big deal for the girls.  They have identified something they care about enough to advocate for and they are the ones in charge of their own plan ! This is a new and exciting experience for many of them.

A note about Stage Fright.
One of the requirements of this journey is to present to an audience.  Not all girls are ready to have a “speaking role”.  A  journey Take Action Project should stretch girls beyond their comfort zone, but it shouldn’t terrify them !
If your scout is not quite ready for a speaking role in their presentation, she can lend her other skills – prop making, research, graphics etc to her group’s project.  Her voice should be heard, even if someone else reads it – under her direction, of course !
There is good information about their unique contributions in the aMUSE book, page 44 - 45.
