Default Career Day for my daughters 5th grade class

Ugghh, I hate public speaking but I’ve agreed to do a 25 minute presentation for 5 5th grade classes tomorrow. I have a good idea of what I want to cover, and they gave me a list of talking points, but I’m curious if any of you have done this for a 4th through 6th grade class and if you have a PowerPoint presentation you might be willing to share, and I could use it as a baseline to edit it to cover what I need to.

If you’re willing to share your work or even just have a power point template to get me started, I’d appreciate it. I’ve worked 8 out of the last 10 days and got home at 3am this morning, so I’m not really slacking or waiting until the last minute. I’ve just been busy and unable to give it my attention until today.

PM me if you can help and I’ll give you my email address.

Thanks for any help.

They’re 5th graders. 25 minutes? Really? They’re gonna stop paying attention after 5-10 minutes max.

Just show them the Livin The Dream LEGO YouTube videos, then see if they have any questions.

That’s a great idea...that and Captain Hollywood’s diatribe should teach them everything they need to know.

If you wear the full river boat suit, that should awe-strike them for at least 5 of the minutes.

I love the irony of speaking to 5th graders and asking for the “book report” some other student did. Haha 😂


Just giving you a hard time.

Watch what Reece Bobby said to Ricky’s class in Talladega Nights, it will Ben perfect

Lots of cool pictures from your career, small planes to big. Maybe include a picture of the inside of a control tower. Perhaps tell the story of how an airline flight goes, start to finish, through cool pictures. They don’t care about words like hours and license.

Maybe a round table discussion about the 737Max and Boeing’s reluctance for a new airframe? Haha

I’ve learned to use all of my available resources since my days in school. (I.e. APC fellas)

I’ve got it covered now. My daughter and I did a PowerPoint presentation this afternoon.

A medley of air disaster photos always makes for a lively discussion!
