11/27/07 9th group presentations

Group presentations, A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, should:

  • be at least 10 minutes
  • present the information you have been given
  • be interesting
  • be memorable.

You are required to assess for understanding (find out if the students understood what you presented). There are lots of different ways to assess. You can:

  • ask questions to see if the students learned your information
  • give a quiz
  • play a game
  • come up with your own creative form of assessment.

If we don’t learn from your presentation, we won’t understand the book as well. You will be rating each others’ efforts, so everybody pitch in and help your group in order to earn the best grade possible.

We will be grading each others' efforts in our group. Your individual grade on this presentation will depend largely on the rating you receive from your group members.

We worked on our presentations during class today, and we will present tomorrow and Wednesday.

I also gave a spelling list for Monday's quiz. You can find the list in the right bar here on my blog.
