These will be French speakers of course (students, faculty , friends..)

Plan ahead: To do this you will work with a few class mates
of your choice to elaborate your material.

Grading: You will be graded both on the written materials presented
(spelling, accuracy of terminology), this will be a group grade.(40%)
And on your "sales patter" i.e. how well you explained
your business  to the people who asked. This is your individual grade (60%)

The Trade Show will be filmed on video .(as in the QUICK TIME movie you can see online)
