Final project and presentation
Table of Contents
On the last day of class you will present a final project. This is a three part assignment that you will do with a group.
Part one
Meet with the members of your group at least three times (one time will be in class) and fill out the meeting worksheet (a copy of the worksheet is found on blackboard). Each group member will be graded on their own work for this section. This composes 75 percent of the total grade.
In your group meetings you will chose your topic and assign reading from the textbook to conduct research. Remember that this is a creative project and you want to present your topic in a way that is fun and innovative. Use the talents that showcase your strengths.
some previous examples: skits, maps made out of candy, a puppet show and a fashion show.
Part two
Present your topic. Each group member must participate on the date of the final presentation. This composes 15 percent of your grade and each group member will be graded individually.
Part three
Write a final one page ( 3 paragraph) write up discussing what you learned and how your group worked together. What your challenges and what were your successes.
