Remember, everyone in the group must share the workload! You will be grading your group member’s performance on the presentation to assure that not only one person does the work and everyone gets credit for the presentation.

As the teacher you are responsible in making sure the students have the necessary information available for them to use on the exam.

Groups must provide the students with one (1) way of retaining this information.

These include:

·  An outline

·  Notes page

·  Copy of brochure or pamphlet

Grading will be as follows:

2.  Presentation – 50 points

3.  Creativity –30 points

4.  Group Effort – 20 points

5.  4 Mediums used in the presentation 100 Points

6.  Total Presentation Points = 250

Presentation grade will be based on length of presentation, i.e. – less than 5 minutes = too short, more than 30 minutes = too long. Ideally, the presentation should last between 10 and 20 minutes to adequately answer questions and give information requested to the class.
