Presentations for grades 6–8

Use this template when your grade 6–8 students are giving presentations, whether it’s for a project, a book report, or sharing research. The class will see a clear, organized board with instructions, a timer, and a name picker, so everyone knows who is presenting and what to expect.

Students can check off steps as they present, and the audience can give feedback at the end. The template works on any screen and students can answer exit tickets from their own devices.
